LEGO® DUPLO® Sheriff Jake

Description

A lawman in the lead role

The name says it all: a sheriff takes centre stage, along with whatever a little frontier town needs. Duplo sets like this hand children a clear role to act out without much explanation. The sheriff keeps order, and the kids decide who causes trouble or who needs his help. Because the bricks are large and sturdy, scenes can be built, rebuilt and taken apart again in moments. Parents are welcome to join in on the play mat, too, since the pieces are easy for adult hands as well.

Bright but not busy

Blue, yellow, green and red lead the parts list. These are the classic Duplo colours that also suit other sets. That makes this one easy to mix with bricks you already own, for example to give an existing farm a western makeover. The clear colour scheme also helps younger children sort pieces or hunt for a particular one. This page lists each colour on its own, so you can judge quantities and distribution quickly and see how the set is divided.

Few kinds, many options

With 69 pieces and only 16 different kinds, the set relies on recurring basic shapes. For children, that means many bricks are interchangeable and experiments do not fail because a special part is missing. There are no minifigures. With the “What can I build?” feature you can check whether your Duplo stock is enough to rebuild this model or related ones. That tells you how much you already own before you decide to buy, swap or sort out another set.

Parts for your collection

Anyone who has collected Duplo knows the problem: after a few years, bricks from many sets sit in one box. The parts list helps restore order and shows which bricks belonged to this sheriff. From a collector's point of view, the 1998 set is a small piece of western toy history that can be completed without much effort. You can spot missing bricks on the list quickly, and often a handful of common basic bricks in the right colours is all it takes.
