Gotta call you on this one, man. (: I *love* Paradisa. I wish I hadn't
been in my Dark Ages while it was available. I wish I could get ahold of
it -- I need the pieces-parts to build my town, Southern-California
style, but there's no way I can afford them now.
And dang it, it had huge piles of female minifigs! ARGH! I want more
chick minifigs! (:
As for girls preferring midi- or maxi-size figs, I don't know if that's
a truth or not. I can say for certain that I played more with my smaller
dolls when I was a child because it was easier to cart more of them
around with me. (: But I'm weird.
