It's like blocks that you fix together to build things but instead of being square they are kind of curvy. Bright primary colours. I thought it was duplo but can't see it on the website.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I know what you mean, but the name escapes me momentarily .. it's discontinued (we had a bucket of it as a hand-me-down it had faces, feet and hands) .. popoids that's it

Twiglett · 26/11/2007 18:56

nope, don't think it's megabloks either. I'm sure it said duplo on it but I can't see anything like it on their website.

lego primo? I think it may have been called duplo at one point.

BettySpaghetti · 26/11/2007 20:24

Tamum · 26/11/2007 20:25

I bet it's Primo, it used to have a Duplo logo on it when it first came out.

laura032004 · 27/11/2007 07:58

We've got loads of the primo stuff if you'd be interested in some 2nd hand. It has been played with loads, but still in fab condition. We've also got lots of Duplo, so don't need both now.

CaptainUnderpants · 27/11/2007 08:16

this ?

If not have a look through the rest of this catalogue .

katierocket · 27/11/2007 09:56

Yes! I think it must be primo, although even the sides were curvy on the stuff I saw. thank you ladies.

Caption U- Moblio rocks but probably too old for DS2 (he's 11 months)

katierocket · 27/11/2007 09:59

I've got a stacking sort of toy by Fisherprice that is a bit similar - all round, not square like the lego stuff. Can't think of the name though. The pieces are either single or double pieces, some have hands or feet, some rattle and some have heads. Could it be this? It came in a tub similar to the tubs duplo comes in.

I have a boot box full of Primo it's labelled as Duplo I think, but not Duplo (literally - they're in my old Clarks shoe box!). There are two base boards, a couple of train / car type pieces and a few people.

I'd probably want £5 plus P&P for it (maximum £4.99 if I sent it by courier).

Can do a photo if you're interested?
