Sometimes, when looking at things like the Elves line, I wonder if LEGO will ever truly understand what my daughter wants out of its toys.

When we let politics trump science, people are needlessly put in harm's way. http://arstechnica.com/science/2017/01/self-censoring-fears...
yeah, sums it up perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI SO wanted that Research Institute set but I was unable to get it and NOW they have "retired" it!!

WTF?
why retire something so wonderful?
Scientists who happen to be women is EXACTLY what WE (people like me) want!
we WANT to be adventurers, scientists, astronauts, etc
Does that woman even know what gundams are!?!?!?!!?!
ReplyDeleteSo spot on. Now that is great design. Simplicity...
ReplyDeleteAnd one more block too. How appropriate for a post on Lego.
My daughter got mildly harassed at school when she told her classmates that she went to Legoland.
ReplyDeleteLegos are a toy, not a "boys" toy or a "girls" toy. WTF kids?
One of my mantras in the Formula 1 Community is MORE WOMEN IN RACING!
ReplyDeleteBelieve me, I suffered a similar fate due to wearing glasses. I've told my daughter that the best way to take that negativity is to do what I do; turn "you can't" into "I just did".

ReplyDeleteIndeed!!!! I also HIGHLY recommend adding Sauber F1 Team. THE BEST F1 team on Google+, hands down!

ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Brad McClaren. And Ray of Sunshine - Brad is a great sport! You'll enjoy the conversation(s).
ReplyDeleteOr else...

Well, there is one thing wrong with the comic. LEGO is never a waste of money. :)
ReplyDeleteShawn H Corey I think she was implying that LEGO wasted its development funds coming up with something few people want.
ReplyDeleteThat said, while I certainly believe LEGO has a long way to go before it really groks girl customers, the Friends line has been quite a hit. So it's not all bad...just not all good.
