(...) Perhaps TLG has a case of Barbie-envy. One K-Mart toy manager even told me that they used to keep the Belville sets on the Barbie aisle. Also, don't forget that TLG used to make a 1688 'Lego System, specially for her' set. It came in a pink (...) (25 years ago, 3-Nov-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

You obviously don't visit FL much ;-) Pink is very popular there, boys or girls (Remember Miami Vice? No, they didn't paint the buildings those colors just for the shows ;-) ) I think what they need is MORE of the pastels, so proper FL architecture (...) (25 years ago, 4-Nov-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Heh. With the help of the PNLTC, I'm getting over my bias. If so many MEN are willing to use pink in their constructions, I guess I don't mind it nearly as much. But when it first came out I thought it was the end of LEGO. But don't get me (...) (25 years ago, 4-Nov-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Ray speaks thusly: I grew up in Florida also, I still live here :) Send on the pink, the pastels, the lavenders. Give me something that resembles 'novelty' (wooden) siding and I will create a 1920s Florida seaside town. Heck, if I had enough (...) (25 years ago, 4-Nov-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)

Moving the topic over to general.... The other day I was in a store and came across a small number of 6595 Surf Shack. My first impression was: Is this paradisa without the pink ? It sure looks that way. Based on copyright dates (6595 = 1993), it (...) (25 years ago, 5-Nov-99, to lugnet.general)
