Web Not Happy About New Line of Lego for Girls

Why leave the girls out? Include them in as well and let them have their pink leggos too!

I loved Legos as a kid, but what is wrong with creating pink and purple legos to appeal to little girls? There is nothing wrong with a girl who likes girl things.

Meanwhile, the color blind are chuckling at all this

OMG...I guess I'd better take these Star Wars Legos away from my eleven year old stepson. They are in dark colors and are geared toward boys... Don't want him to become confused and think he's a boy.

Nobody is making anyone buy pink legos, are you all crazy?? Why don't you put efforts intothe real important issues this country is facing?? Drunk Mayors, Senators writing laws that make America a battleground situation, doing away with due process, the world is in a #$%$ and you all are worried about pink legos, Really?

This isn't new for Lego. They made girl lines in the past, most specifically Belville and Clikits.

Pink legos for girls how horrible? What #$%$ wrote this?

Ok so whats the problem? Pink is a very popular color amongst most young girls. It is called marketing to a select market. Maybe these are for the girls who want to be able to tell their toys from the brothers... Or maybe for the billion Barbie fans? My girls play with cars and trucks when they want to and my sons have been known to play "daddy" with baby dolls. Maybe the problem is that people just need something to complain about? This is a simple solution you don't want your little girl playing with pink things don't get her any... or is that asking parents to be responsible?

I think it's great. Girls ARE stereotypically feminine, at least I would hope so. if parents don't want their girls to have pink legos, DON'T BUY THEM!! I get so amused at what people will "protest" about. Seriously folks, there are so many more injustices in the world to put your energy into.

I work at a LEGO store and i cant tell you how many moms have called me/the store sexist because we dont have 'these' kinds of pink LEGO.

O get a life. Should we start selling androgenous he/she legos? Is it incorrect now to distinguish between the sexes? What the hell is wrong with people? How many men have you seen wearing pink clothes with a flowers on them? Grow up.

People need to relax....if you don't like it don't buy it!

The main problem with the new line of Lego for girls is that hardly any construction ability is needed. In a way they are suggesting that only boys enjoy the challenge of building. It's quite patronising to girls living in this modern world, where gender equality is of paramount importance, and where increasing numbers of females occupy traditional male roles in the workplace. (Including the construction industry) It's strange because LEGO is Danish, and Scandinavians have always had a reputation for being progressive and modern in their outlook. As for the whole 'pink' thing, yes, it's true that many girls prefer pink over some other colors, but that could be because they have been conditioned to think this way. And boys have been conditioned NOT to like pink!

While I do believe that this is a blatant attempt at trying to target the taste of young girls, I see nothing wrong with it. Many people think that society dictates children's thoughts including color preference etc. - I think this is true to an extent; however, I can attest to the fact that young girls love shades of pinks, reds and purples - it's in their nature. It is not a coincidence that barbie, Bratz and many other girl toys are marketed in pink boxes. Also in girls' clothing, pink is very popular - that's a color that little girls like!

Lol you gotta be kidding me. If you're against the pink and "stereotypes", then just by regular Legos. My #$%$ word, people. Get over your feminist selves.

I think it's ridiculous that everybody's upset that a few of the blocks in this set happen to be pink. Did no one notice what the girl's holding, her 'pet', the blackboard, or all the rest of the tools in the background? This girl's a ROCKING SCIENTIST! We should be CELEBRATING this new Lego set! Way to go, Lego!

If LEGOS originally only came in pink, you wouldn't want your little boy playing with them. So why can't they make pink or "girl friendly" designs w/out being critiqued? And for the person who made the comment about not every girl liking pink, not every boy likes the colors they already come in. This whole thing is just silly to be getting so much attn.

That's really awesome......Pink is fine and good people who have problems don't have to buy it! It's time for the girls to have things like that off their own instead of playing with unisex colors! I for one will be buying it for my daughter.......

"Web not happy"

Didn't know the web had feelings.

Is there anything left in this world that people won't Btch and complain about ???
