About DUPLO

The LEGO DUPLO theme was introduced as far back as 1969 and is designed for children ages 1 to 5. It features DUPLO figures which are much larger than minifigures and DUPLO blocks which are about twice the length, width, and height of a standard System brick. Like LEGO System, DUPLO also has subthemes that are often junior versions of System themes, like Pirates and Castle and licensed themes like Disney and Super Heros.
Summary
DUPLO The Bus Ride set 10988 was released in August 2023, retailing for $20, but has since been retired. New, unopened The Bus Ride sets are valued at $39, while used sets can be found for $32 in good condition.
