BrickEconomy Member Review
“The Sea Explorer comes together around a big, sturdy hull, with bright colors and chunky sections that make the boat feel instantly recognizable. The deck has just enough built-in details and accessories to keep the structure interesting without feeling busy or fragile. The figures and small vehicles fit naturally into the layout, giving the whole build a solid, cohesive look that holds up well when assembled and taken apart.”
 

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 Sea Explorer set 2649 was released in September 1984, retailing for $25, but has since been retired. New, unopened Sea Explorer sets are valued at $129, while used sets can be found for $97 in good condition.
