The Wooden Duck Reviews
The Rambling Brick
LEGO House Exclusive — “Those familiar with the history of the LEGO Group would be aware that the Wooden Duck was produced over the course of many years, when Ole Kirk Christiansen specialized in high quality wooden toys. The wooden duck was in production from the mid 1930’s to the 1950’s. And it... More has remained a symbol of the quality that the LEGO Group continues to stand for to this day.”
The Brick Fan
“Overall, the Wooden Duck is a fairly big build. If you’re looking at it from afar, you probably wouldn’t think it is made out of LEGO. If you’re a fan of LEGO history, this is a great set to pick up because it would make a nice display piece and if LEGO is indeed making a... More whole line dedicated to LEGO history, it is a good start. The downside of this set is that it is exclusive to the LEGO House and unless you have connections, it would be fairly difficult to get but if you’re going to the LEGO House, it is a nice souvenir to bring home.”
BrickFanatics
“Given the long history of the wooden duck and the familiarity fans have with it as a LEGO icon, the set has to be right. Fans would not forgive something that is a little bit off, as this is likely the only time it will be released as a 1:1 scale set.”
