McDonald's Lego DUPLO Happy Meal Building Set, 1983
Add to SetSummary
Duplos -- a larger version of the Lego brick -- were perfect for the small hands of a toddler. Introduced in 1969, Duplos stuck together well, but could be easily pulled apart. Toddlers could now create and build just like their older siblings and friends. This set was part of Legos' first McDonald's Happy Meal promotion in 1983.
