Does Duplo have the same level of quality control as Lego? Like I can go and buy 10,000 1 x 1 Lego pieces and be sure they'll all be exactly the same within about 10 micrometers. Are Duplo bricks also as insanely QC'd as Lego?
- po 3y agoYes because they're made by the same company in the same way. You can even fit them onto a Lego System plate.
- dolmen 3y agoNot just plate. LEGO builders use DUPLO bricks under as basic for building big landscapes, mountains.
- rr60 3y agoI am assuming they do. Duplo is a type of lego that are meant for younger audiences and thus have large brick sizes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego_Duplo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego_Duplo
- Tade0 3y agoI would suspect that yes, considering they're meant to be compatible with regular Lego pieces: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/38/are-duplo-blocks-compatible-with-lego-blocks-in-any-way https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/38/are-duplo-bloc...
- speedgoose 3y agoThe quality is very good, and I don’t know similar plastic toys for toddlers with the same quality. I have a lot of Duplo, some are new, some are 20 years old and went through a few toddlers. I can feel difference in tightness. The new ones are much better. Maybe Lego did improve the quality of the Duplo overtime, or they are simply less used. In my case, I also find the old transparent bricks to not hold so well. They don’t handle much load before detaching.
- jacobwilliamroy 3y agoI would hope so. Imagine only focusing on making really good plastic bricks for 53 years. There have probably been a lot of technological advancements over time that have let them make more bricks more precisely.
- gumby 3y agoI haven't handled a piece in decades but I remember thinking that they were. Interestingly you can build things that incorporate Primo, Duplo and regular Lego bricks!
- dolmen 3y agoDUPLO is LEGO. Same manufacturing quality. Or even stronger design and QA checks as it is expected that toddlers will play with them.
