For my 63rd birthday I asked for the Duplo Town Set so I could play with it with my two year old granddaughter. I had previously purchased beginner sets for both of us but longed for a set to make a bigger layout with people and vehicles. The Town Set is great. There are over 200 pieces with lots of interesting pieces to make buildings, trees and even animals. I highly recommend it.

I would rate this a 5 star if you are buying it during the year as an ongoing purchase and a 3 star if you are buying it as a Christmas / Birthday present simply because it is presented as several clear plastic bags of lego in the cardboard box that it is shipped in (complete with packing info stuch to the outside of the box). I normally dispair about the excess of packaging but in this case I would have preferred at least an internal cardboard box that is more exciting than the packing box and for a picture of the contents to not be on the outside of the box as it is sent. Needless to say my boys saw the box as it came through the post so this one won't be too much of a surprise.

In terms of the set itself:
- there is a great variety of basic shapes
- there are enough wheels / lego people to avoid arguments when my (3.5 year old) children are playing together.
- the basic nature of the blocks appears to encourage my children to be more imaginative than, say, the duplo house set that we also own. The house set has always been built into some form of dwelling but the creations using this set appear to be limitless.

The one down side if I had not made an additional purchase would have been the lack of base plates. I bought this set together with a pack of two large base plates and they have worked well together.
