LEGO QUATRO was a theme that used specialized QUATRO blocks which were larger than DUPLO bricks. The theme was released in 2004 and was designed for pre-school children and babies ages 1 to 3 and was discontinued in 2006. The name QUATRO comes from the fact that the bricks were quadruple the dimensions of the traditional LEGO System bricks. The logo of QUATRO is an elephant which is the same as the old logo of Primo.
2004 LEGO Sets
2004 was a shakeup year at LEGO, coming off of 2003 with record losses. Some significant events include the release of the QUATRO System for very young children, and most notably the replacement of many long-standing LEGO colors including gray, dark gray, brown and violet and the introduction of some new colors like light nougat which ultimately became the skin tone for many minifigures. In 2004, The LEGO Group created a partnership with Ferrari and a number of LEGO Ferrari sets were released that year based on Ferrari’s Formula 1 racing cars. New themes released in 2004 included Maersk, Knight's Kingdom II and Ferrari under the Racers theme. LEGO discontinued the Adventurers Orient Expedition, the original Spider-Man theme, LEGO World City and Gravity Games.
