One thing you have to remember is that most of TLC's customers are boys age 5-
12. Therefore they try to make the sets out to please them. When you are a kid
you make believe that this minifig is "me" and pretend that you are doing
cerain things in the LEGO town, space, castle etc. (at least thats what I
did) :) If the vast majority of people who buy LEGO are male it makes no
sense for TLC to make a 50:50 ratio of male/female. I personally would love to
see more female figs, but we have to keep in mind that TLC caters more to
children than to us.
