Celebrating half a century of big building fun with LEGO®DUPLO®

BILLUND, January 29, 2019:Today we mark 50 years since theLEGO Group unveiled its inaugural large brick for small hands (yes that would be 1969) – the same year the first person set foot on the moon. You can decide which was the bigger moment for mankind (although could Apollo 11 be dismantled and rebuilt into a racing car?) but, either way, below are some highlightsfromhalf a century of big building fun.

Ludamus! A Latin origin
Did you know the nameDUPLO®derives from the Latin word ‘duplex’meaning double? The name first featured on two LEGO® DUPLO sets launched in 1969 – set no. 510 and no. 511 if you like specifics.

And did you know that LEGODUPLO bricks are twice the size of classic LEGO bricks on all dimensions? This is so all our bricks fit into the LEGO System in Play,but finding this 2:1 scale solution was no easy task.We tried both 4:1 and 3:1 scale before Godtfred Kirk Christiansen – second generation LEGO Group owner -in 1968 came up with the idea (during his sleep!) to hollow the

The LEGO Movie 2 Emmet’s ‘Piece’ Offering (30340) Polybag Review

January 27, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you went to the early screening of The LEGO Movie 2 yesterday, some theaters gave out a polybag along with your purchase which was Emmet’s ‘Piece’ Offering (30340). It has 44 pieces and if you didn’t get one, they are available for purchase at Target and Walmart.

The Emmet minifigure shows him with his tattered uniform and he has a double-sided head with a happy expression on one side and an angry look on the other. This version of Emmet is also in Emmet and Benny’s ‘Build and Fix Workshop’ (70821).

The build is very simple and the result is of a heart. I didn’t go see the screening as I had a prior engagement before it was announced so I have no idea what the heart represents but I do have an idea.

The Emmet’s ‘Piece’ Offering (30340) polybag isn’t as cool as the other polybags for The LEGO Movie 2 but if you’re a collector and/or a completionist, you’ll probably want to pick this one up as well. Again, this polybag is also available at Walmart at the LEGO section and at Target either at the Valentine’s section or at the checkout lanes and is priced at $3.99.
