Exactly!
I will freely admit that girls play different from boys -- some of my
first sets were the kitchen and bathroom Homemaker sets (I wish I had
more of those now...) Though my VERY first was an airplane set. (At
least, that I remember) And I absolutely loved them. My sister and I
played with doll houses that our father made all the time -- along
with minifigs as the "children" in the family. OTOH, I think that
city, at least, is also just as appropriate for "girls" (Your family
has to GO places after all!) And I was always a sci-fi fan loving the
Space sets (I had ONE old-time space LEgo set and I remember being
annoyed at all the thin plates you had to put together/take apart to
make it so it did not get made as much. OVer Christmas, I'm going to
find out which one it is and see if I like it more as an adult. I
think we still ave most of our childhood LEgo parts that we had as
kids -- except for perhaps a few instruction books)

| As a supporting addition, one of my favorite theme is lovely paradisa, though I'm a male. (although most beloved are model team and technic) By the way, I don't like space or castle either, as many males/boys love them much. Selçuk (27 years ago, 20-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)
