What took LEGO so long to come out with LEGO Toys for girls? They may have tried here and there in the past, but this time I think they may have done it. Of course us girls still played with LEGOs regardless, but I think by having some girly LEGO toys will bring a nice addition to the LEGO World.
The new LEGO Friends Collection has also come with much debate. It seems there are many who are not happy with this new line of toys because they are gender based. Really? So what !! It seems some are not happy by the fact that the new Lego Figurines are much curvier than the original square ones. Again - So what !!
Why are there so many people upset because Lego came out with a line for the Girls and created it around the Role Playing they like to play. It baffles me truly. If these were out when my daughter was young I would have bought them for her with no second thought. I would also still have the original LEGOs as well, which some could think are boyish.
People have to realize companies need to grow and change to keep up with the demands of the market. If they wanted to create a line for girls what is the big deal. I love them and I give big Kudos to Lego for making Lego Friends for the girls because I know they are going to love them.
There are plenty of other toys out there that should not be and do not get this kind of reaction. LEGOs are a fun building toy that lets our children use their imagination while they play - so what if they are Pink and Purple and the figurines resemble girls.
