Another issue they addressed was the test groups didn't like having to wait until the build was complete before they could play with the toys, so they made this line playable throughout the building process. I don't think this was done to be insulting, my sister and I loved Legos growing up, but not every child is into them. They are attempting to reach new markets just like they did with their Hero Factory and Bionics models. Both of which have figures that are taller and slimmer than the originals and have updated color palettes that tested better with their test groups. I agree that it is wrong to gender-base children and their toys, but until stores prevent little girls from buying the other models, what is wrong with choices?

That is just insulting. I had no issue with the “girly” line of Legos until I found out that they, unlike their gender-neutral counterpart, comes pre-assembled. That is just insulting.
