OTOH, my daughter (now 15) looks with scorn on the "girls" Lego sets.
She likes space themes - realistic ones, not sci-fi. In fact she also
scorns the Lego female faces, calling them "lipstick babes". (She also
scorns Barbie and other "girls stuff" and always has, although I
wouldn't call her a tomboy). Interestingly, though, when she builds her
own spaceships, she's far more interested in building the interiors than
the exteriors, and they are exploration ships, not fighting ships.
