Jumbo Bricks was a small theme exclusively manufactured by Samsonite from 1964 to 1972. The sets contained bricks larger than the normal system bricks, much the same as today's DUPLO bricks. However, unlike DUPLO, Jumbo Bricks are not to a relative scale to standard LEGO bricks. They were marketed towards children from nursery school through to first grade. There were six sets produced for this theme.

Samsonite was an American manufacturer of LEGO sets in North America (US and Canada) that for many years starting in the early 1960s had exclusive distribution rights. A licensing dispute ended the arrangement in the United States in 1972, but Samsonite remained the distributor of LEGO in Canada until 1988.
