I love this set. I worked at an LBR during the holidays of 2011. I enjoyed working there so much and helped so many people find the right sets for their loved ones and for themselves. LEGO is a great employer and thanks their employees with unique building sets for those who survive the Christmas Spirit.

Box/Instructions

This box is just like the architect series and the booklet is the same quality. It tells the story of how LEGO began as a furniture company who began making toys during the great depression. People stopped buying furniture but everyone wanted to buy a toy for their kid. And this Wooden Duck was produced and sold out almost immediately. Read up on it if you have never heard the tale.

Parts

The parts are pretty basic, but they capture the look of the original wooden duck very well.

The build

The build is quick but still has some clever techniques.

The completed model

It is a great, odd display model that immediately starts up the conversation about where it came from.

Overall opinion

I have a great fondness for this set and will always remember it as the best corporate Christmas gift of all time.
