@Space and Alyska: You aren't exactly a representative sample of girls. The fact that you are on a forum devoted to Bionicle means that you were probably fans of the "boy" lines of Lego.As for Lego's move, I'm not so sure if it's the girls that want the pink stuff so much as the parents that tell them to want it. I think at a point the girls themselves really want it, however, that's because they've been innundated in pink "girly" things. They come home from the hospital in a pink blanket. They go to sleep in a pink crib. Their room is painted pink. They're given pink toys to play with. Gee, I wonder what their favorite color is?

Yeah, yeah, I know... Space and I are freaks of nature.And, yes, I did like stuff like Bionicle, but I was always wishing that it was more... girl-friendly. I wished that more of my friends could like it instead of Bratz. And since I've been told so many times that it's too hard to make something appeal to both genders equally without jeopardising sales, I would like to see something on par with Bionicle, story and set-wise, that could reach a female audience. I think people like Space and I are proof that it could work, if it was done well.Sure, maybe one or two of the characters could have pink on them, but I'd actually like to see a range of colours and styles. After all, contrary to popular belief, girls can be just as diverse personality-wise as boys.

I've got some... ah... strong oppinions on stuff like this.I don't really like the fact that toys a re gender based.For one, if a girl in the Target age group liked hf, would she be made fun of? Maybe, but not as much as a 5-10 year old boy would for liking this. But why? Personally, I think its because that's what society encourages, fit in a stupid little mold, and if you don't, you become an outcast... somebody everyone picks on.And I know what that feels like. (Not that I like "girl" toys, but I certainly don't fit in that stupid mold.)

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.
