[quote name='BingoBrown']Definitely believe it. Duplo seems pretty equally aimed at both boys and girls, but outside of Belville, there's not one focused Lego theme for girls. Of course, I'm sure Lego has mostly given up on the 5+ year old girls, and that's why there are few girl-focused themes. I'm guessing Barbie must dominate that age group.
I'm hoping my baby girl will be interested in Lego when she's older. I've been building a better Lego City collection for her, but my Castle, Star Wars, and Indiana Jones collections will be fair game for her as well, if she wants to play with them.[/QUOTE]
good points.
I'd say even though Lego is creative, it sparks more of the boyish traits, science and math.
Those aren't strong on the girl side, and with the themes, they aren't really trying for them either.
My wife is a girl
and she's liking the Creator houses... I would think that playing house tends to hit a note... plus all the City stuff, though not the other city stuff. Street corner and Town plan is nice, but stuff like Fire and Police, and even Construction and town facilites doesn't fit.
If they had more like beauty shops, cafe's, grocery stores, clothing stores (not $150), pet hospitals or hospitals in general... they might have more of an impact.
Maybe call it City Personalize theme. Something to round out all those boyish themes.
