I have not found anyone with information on the yellow Duplo trians.
I have not seen anyone sell these trains on bricklink.
And now Lego.com actually appears to be minimizing the Duplo kits available. Has anyone else noticed this? They only offer 3 recent Thomas kits, the Duplo castle and Fire/Police kits are gone. The deluxe train kit is gone. Maybe it is US only?
Am I the only one with a kid that likes these Duplo trains? Crazy.
