LEGO Duplo Building Set-71 pieces (5506)
Best Product From LEGO
Exactly how full is the box?
I bought this for my two-year-old, and she really loves it. Here are some details I couldn't find before purchasing:
About the box:
* The box is about the size of a large shoe box, with a transparent plastic top.
* The top can be opened by a young toddler, if you show her where to lift it. (You need to pull in a specific spot.)
* The included Legos fill the box about halfway. So there is room for an additional 50+ pieces if you want to add.
About specific pieces:
* One non-block: a boy with a hat
* Two flowers
* One (flimsy) window that opens and closes. This is the only piece that will break, and it will break soon.
* Only one green floor/platform to build on, and it's small: 4 dots by 8 dots
* One car
Hope that helps...

It's the wheels and little guy that make this a great set.
As a father of ten, we've had a number of Duplo sets over the years. Whenever we need to replenish our supply (this year being one such time), we look for a new set based on three basic factors: wheels, people, and price.
Price is a general constraint for us. We're willing to spend $25-$30 for a set of Duplo blocks. They're tremendously durable, and you can even run them through the dishwasher (in one of those cages used for baby bottle accessories). Within that price range, we try to maximize the number of bricks we get. If wanting only bricks (no special pieces), then you should be able to get 80 or more bricks starting at $20 on sale. If you want those special parts (e.g., wheels and a character)--and in our experience, they are some of the most used parts when the kids play--then you are looking in that $25-$30 range with at least 65 other blocks.
All of our kids, especially the boys, loved having the wheels. They would make cars and trucks, and eventually...
Too few blocks included in the "large" brick box
I love this product, but was somewhat disappointed in the number of blocks that came in the large plastic box; not even enough to build a single decent-sized structure. I've since ordered a large bag of additional blocks LEGO DUPLO Brick Set to add to the box.
