And it's why Duplo undersides have little tabs along the inner edge -- they're not necessary for fitting with Duplo nobs, but they're essential for grabbing Lego nobs!http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/favorite2020-10-03T01:52:36+00:002020-10-03T01:52:36+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://gs.jonkman.ca/user/2bobjonkmanComputer Consultant, Instructor, Project Manager, System Administrator… Volunteer at Radio Waterloo Co-founder of http://kwvoip.ca GnuPG Key fingerprint = 04F7 742B 8F54 C40A E115 26C2 B912 89B0 D2CC E5EA Political me is @BobJonkmanGreen https://gs.jonkman.ca/BobJonkmanGreenbobjonkmanBob JonkmanComputer Consultant, Instructor, Project Manager, System Administrator… Volunteer at Radio Waterloo Co-founder of http://kwvoip.ca GnuPG Key fingerprint = 04F7 742B 8F54 C40A E115 26C2 B912 89B0 D2CC E5EA Political me is @BobJonkmanGreen https://gs.jonkman.ca/BobJonkmanGreenElmira, Ontario, Canadahomepagehttp://bob.jonkman.ca/blogstruehttp://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/notehttps://libranet.de/objects/0b6b25a8-275f-775f-6c5a-486826118893New note by clackeNot only are Duplo blocks *like* Lego blocks, they *are* Lego blocks, and I don't just mean that Duplo is a Lego brand and produced in the same factory, the two systems are actually compatible.<br /><br />A Lego 2x2 block fits and sticks to the underside of a Duplo block, and the nob on the top of a Duplo block fits with the pillar in the middle under a Lego 2x2 block.<br /><br />That's the reason the Duplo nobs are hollowed-out circles rather than the filled-in circles Lego blocks have!
