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 bucket that TLG (apparently) borrowed from
Duplo Family Home (2552). The studs on top of the bucket lib say 'Duplo'.
