Yeah, you certainly don't post much about DUPLO. But then again who here does?

It's a pretty good deal though if you have toddlers.

....Here's a wierd odd topic, just how collectible are DUPLO sets anyway?

There isn't much use for them other than infants really.

I was kind of wondering that myself. I've never even thought of that before, I just tend to skip over them as I see no reason investment with them. Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?

Well, I just tried to look though the values of various DUPLO sets and didn't find that much. Overall it barely has an average growth rate of 5.77%. That's wicked low.

I understand the idea of "the kids of today will be the investors of tomorrow", but even I do not think 'that generation' will buy baby toys when they are older. Even for the sake of nostaglia. Maybe for their own child, but it's never a good idea to buy a used toy for an infant. If you do, sterilize the holy heck out of it. Otherwise your kid will turn into this!

The only real investment I see with these is for passing them down from one generation to the next.

Otherwise, not worth the time or space.
