"Duplo Technic" Pieces Start 'Em Young

[DLuders]

When looking at this EB thread , I found out that the Duplo line makes "Technic" parts too: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?q=duplo+technic . Check out these parts which may be useful for AFOL Technic MOCs:

6515 "Duplo Technic Brick 2 x 10 with 9 holes"

6530 "Duplo Technic Gear 6 x 6" [with 40 teeth]

51559 "Duplo Bridge Girder"

I guess that, if you start TECHNIC builders YOUNG, they'll grow up to be the next great Technic AFOL!

Anybody living in the USA... Each country has a different "Education" policy and in Spain for example, this particular set is not for sale ;)
