Insights

Retired Duplo Happy Gardener (2261) from the late 1990s has attracted steady collector interest for sealed, complete boxes, and its period-specific Duplo figure and printed floral brick add uniqueness for theme completionists, while the small Duplo market and limited liquidity temper upside.

Set Facts

The set contains several 2 x 2 Duplo bricks in blue, green, red, and yellow, as well as 2 x 4 Duplo bricks in red and yellow.
It features a red 2 x 4 x 2 Duplo brick with a white flower and green leaves pattern and a yellow 2 x 2 Duplo brick with a black and white eye-with-spot pattern on opposite sides.
The set includes a Duplo figure brick with a blue base, yellow smiling head with freckles, and red male hair.

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.
