But then this brings up the pink bricks issue, not all girls are fans of
pink. I would be happy with some non-violent sets that have a theme girls
can relate to. I have to admit that there are very few sets I am unable to
find on clearance, so I don't know how much of an indicator this is. Now
when sets are on clearance, for 75% off and they still set on the shelf, I
do believe this is an indication.
