I do agree somewhat. It would be nice if more toys were percieved as gender neutral, but, in the world we currently live in, boys' and girls' toys are heavily segregated, and Lego's gotta do what they gotta do in order to make money. I remember that last year I suggested here that Lego could make Bionicle more gender-neutral by adding more female characters, and the response was overwhelmingly negative- and that was just the older fanbase talking! One thing that may help solve the problem of boys being ridiculed for liking something "girly", is an improvement in the quality of products aimed at girls, so that "feminine" is no longer synonomous with "lame". Maybe then, after a few years, it will be possible to make toys that appeal to both genders, when boys are no longer deterred by girls liking it, and vice versa.If you look at the friends sets, many of the girls are shown doing stereotypical things, such as cooking or horse riding, but there is one character who apparently likes to build robots in her spare time. I think the message that toys for girls need to start conveying is that there are many different ways to be a girl, all of them equally valid, and that you don't need to fit into the "shopping and makeup" mold.Incidentally, I'm now trying to pitch an idea for a Bionicle-equivalent for girls on Lego Cuusoo. I'd be interested to know what you guys thought of it.I get the marketing standpoint, If you want your bussiness to thrive you need to appeal to as many groups as possible (by bringing the age range down... yeah....) but its what has to be done to accomplish that.i think you have a good idea, making more female charecters would make it appeal to a bigger crowed without making it girly.For the record back in 01 gali was my favorite
