    stores around here, it's in the boy section, and kids stick to their own places. girls sections are always coated in pink and purple and pastels, and not a single normal looking lego set to be found.

    I want a shipping container full of generic 2x4 and 2x2 bricks.

    The things I could do with that much Lego.

    This got bottom of the page.

    But I think... if someone started a kickstarter to donate billions of bricks to underprivileged kids?

    I'd be in.

    at my toy store the legos have their own section

    it's not by the boy or girl stuff, it's across from them

    and what I've seen of lego in retail stores it seems to be the divider between the two sections

    besides who cares what aisle its in

    why can't girls want wrestling action figures

    there's already creepy dudes buying ponies, why not little girls buying greedo and bumblebee

    I'll give toys'r'us some credit here. They have a neutral lego/knex/etc section and they stock the 'girl' sets among all the others.

    Every other store I've been to has the lego aisle sandwiched somewhere in the boys section and the girl sets stuffed somewhere in the pink lanes.

    maybe girls would be more interested in legos not specifically catered to them if standard legos weren't exclusively in the boys section of toy aisles
    Huh, building toys have their own section of my local Fred Meyer. It's in the same aisle as the puzzles and model kits.

    Funny factoid for those that don't know: Pink and blue used to be the other way around in terms of baby colours. Pink was seen as more of a light, hazy red which suited boys more and blue was seen as a calming, cool shade that fitted girls best. Then somewhere down the track they got switched.

    hey just a head's up everyone: the lord of the rings stuff is fucking cool

    they got the rad orc swords that are kind of hooked, the buildings are all designed to have weird cracks and outcroppings, the horses fucking REAR BACK, the armor has all the neat lord of the rings style detailing on it (especially for dudes like theoden), and also there's a lego ballista

    the problem with lego theoden is that he comes in the expensive helm's deep set but the nice thing about theoden is that the helms deep set looks baller as fuck

    As much as I want a Riders of Rohan pack, I know we'll never see it. Imagine, a dozen riders, individual costume/weapon/accessory combinations. Will never happen. Best we get is a mini-village of Theoden's (forgot name), or maybe a mini pack of armored Theoden and a pair of riders.

    I dunno. If they keep making sets, there's a good chance they'll put out battle packs like they do for Star Wars, where it's like a squad of dudes and a vehicle. And since there aren't so many vehicles, it's possible they'd just put like "four riders of rohan!" alongside a set of like, "four uruk-hai!"

    My daughter, being an eight year old girl, gets excited whenever she notices the girl lego sets in a store(usually Target, where they are mixed in with the dolls/ponies/girlystuff). She's all like "Oh! Look, pink and purple legos!", until she looks closer and goes all "Oh...right, I forgot. These sets are all small and not cool.". She really wants to like the pretty pink houses, but the sets they aim at girls all seem simplistic and just not cool.

    Her favorite legos are pirates and castle, especially the old school forestmen. She also digs the monster hunter stuff she's seen and the dinosaur hunters(or whatever that line is called). The dino ones she likes just because she enjoys new lego animals.

    In summation, girls can like cool legos too.

    Also, I know people like to get all high and mighty with the fact the plural of lego is lego but fuck you, it's legos.

    Right now, there's only one set that's really got me drooling.
    It's gonna hurt dropping 200+ on the UCS B-wing, but I don't think I really have a choice here. It's gonna look sweet next to my UCS Interceptor.
