I personally would prefer for LEGO to extend what they've done for
Belville, to the Castle line -- just not so pink.  Girls like castles
and fairy tale stuff.  Make pegasii, unicorns, witches, princesses,
queens, princes, kings, etc.  Just make the sets gender neutral - you
don't need transparent pink castles.  Fairy tale things are the sort
of sets that would appeal to both boys and girls.

I tried a version of this last year with my advent calendar for my
niece.  She got the big castle set (in 24 sections) with a princess
added in one of the two towers.  It was quite popular, but I can't say
for sure that it wouldn't have been popular, even without the princess.

Play well,

Jacob

(...) LEGO has two obligations - one, to themselves, to make money, and the second (I'd like to imagine) to make toys that help children grow. You can't make people buy toys that they don't want. LEGO may have accurately defined the girl's toy (...) (25 years ago, 13-Dec-99, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.scala, lugnet.general)
