We've been down this pink Lego, Don Cesar thread before. I grew up a few
miles from "The Don" and all the other pastel colored architecture in
Florida.
My only point, which I have stated before, is that attracting girls to Lego
does not require pink Lego. Not all girls like pink and some if not most
might find it a turn off (of the target age). Especially building a soccer
bus with pink windows. Girls that play soccer really start around 9, usually
past the age of the pink fetish.
The new soccer line has attracted some girls to Lego, and I think adding a
girls soccer bus is a great idea. I just can't think of any soccer loving
gals that would entertain a pink bus, most of them are closer to the tomboy
side than the pink side of girlhood.
