I believe they still call those Duplos.

I'd say you're right though, kb. I can remember in the mid 80s that most of the Lego stuff you saw was sets. They were neat mind you, but I didn't see the big general bucket o' parts very often.

Not to mention, those damned sets could be confusing as hell to build. The diagrams weren't always the best, and I'd be 3/4ths into a set, and discover it wasn't built right. Curse you Lego!
