What do you think of LEGO’s efforts over the years? Are they heading in the right direction, or do you think they could do better? Let me know what you think in the comments! This part is used for bracelets. It has a single female connector in the middle underneath and might make a nice greebly part for a pink spaceship. Light Green (Light Green) . Introduced in 1992 with LEGO® Paradisa and Duplo, this colour was rare outside of girls' themes, such as Belville and LEGO® Scala. It was last used in 2005. LEGO Friends is LEGO’s most popular female-oriented theme: it doubled sales expectations in 2012 and tripled sales to girls, and the theme is still going strong to this day – regularly taking a spot in the 5 most popular LEGO themes, alongside City, Star Wars and Ninjago. 8. Disney Princess (2014-Ongoing) Flamingo Pink was only used in 2006 in three Clikits sets. Suitably, it was used for the flamingo element you can spot in the first image in this article.

Transparent Light Royal Blue. Only used in 2005 in Clikits and almost identical to 143 Transparent Fluorescent Blue. DOTS is a particularly interesting theme, and I think is the culmination of years and years of consumer research, representing LEGO’s (and the world’s) shift from explicitly gendered toys, to more inclusive play experiences, breaking down some barriers like boys can’t play with bright colours and bracelets. Despite its relatively modest lineup (only 18 sets were released in total), Paradisa is an iconic LEGO theme, and has earned a soft spot in many LEGO fans’ hearts. 4. Belville (1994 – 2008) LEGO® Clikits was an innovative series designed to reach a new audience - girls. It was a great success and became very popular around the world. Although the series was eventually discontinued, it remains a popular and beloved series among LEGO® fans of all ages.

Clikits sets included pencil cases, bags, purses, bracelets, notebooks, and more, significantly expanding on the LEGO jewellery and stationery lineup. 7. Friends (2012-Ongoing) Here’s a list and brief history of LEGO’s efforts to creating themes that could be geared towards girls, and how their efforts have evolved over the years. 1. Homemaker (1971-1982) Since inception, LEGO has had to shake its perception as a “boy’s construction toy”, even though both boys and girls enjoy expressing their creativity through LEGO.

In 1997, LEGO Scala returned… except that it bore no resemblance to its 1979 predecessor. Instead, the sets included dolls, along with unique molded furniture to, again, create a dollhouse-like play experience. Light Bluish Green (Aqua). This colour was introduced in 1998 in Scala and was also used frequently in Belville and Clikits, but not much else. Retired in 2006.

What else can you do with LEGO® Clikits?

The bracelet strings have male connectors on them so can fit into anti-studs, but will be under stress. It’s important to note that I have quite a few LEGO Friends and Princess sets on display (personal preference), and I didn’t intentionally steer her towards that direction – I have many more minifigure sets, but she was just drawn towards them. The LEGO Friends TV shows are also a huge part of this, and she loves watching them on Netflix, and building bonds with those characters on-screen, and the Minidolls that represent them. Sets included dragons, castles, and more, allowing LEGO fans to construct a whole new mythical world. To the dismay of many fans, the theme concluded in 2018. This theme introduced mini-dolls and presented a slightly more dollhouse-inspired twist on LEGO City-style buildings and cars. That’s it for a non-exhaustive look at LEGO’s history when it comes to themes and products marketed at girls, and how their approach has evolved over the years.

This ring with two female connections can be used to join pieces stud-to-stud. I cannot think of another LEGO piece that enables this to be done in such a small space. The theme introduced numerous new pieces, many of which would look completely out of place in a modern LEGO collection, but nonetheless this new LEGO Scala represented an interesting theme in LEGO’s history. 6. Clikits (2003-2006) The most obvious use of the icons, then, is as decorations. They work well with the 2x2 tile with one centre stud. Superhero fans were treated to the LEGO DC Super Hero Girls wave in 2017. It was yet another minidoll-based theme, but its vibrant color scheme and unique buildings combined with several new characters made it a worthy theme nonetheless. What I love about LEGO, is the rich history the brand has. Even though I've been an admin here for 6 years now, and LEGO is a daily part of my life, I still run into things that are new to me. I'm sure others will have the same experience. And with this long history, there are bound to be themes and products that have you wondering: Is this LEGO?Fire Yellow is very similar to Bright Yellow but slightly brighter and used around 2004, exclusively in Clikits. For some reason Clikits sets are much derided but many of their parts have the potential to be used with System parts to provide decoration, greebling and even facilitate connections that are otherwise impossible. LEGO-fans often neglect Clikits as not LEGO-ish enough. However these little jewel-like pieces are fully compatible with regular LEGO elements. The colors (with a few exceptions) are the same as regular LEGO parts. And they can add great detail to your LEGO creations. LEGO Friends was LEGO’s answer to the City theme, but what about a fantasy castle theme? Enter LEGO Elves.

Some of the things we heard were really surprising and challenging in ways that weren’t really comfortable for us as a brand.” LEGO® Clikits was very popular with girls around the world. It was a great success and new sets were released every year. In 2006 the range was expanded to include a variety of other merchandise such as bags, pens and watches. But in 2009, despite all the successes that had been had, LEGO® Clikits was discontinued. While not technically a standalone theme (it was technically a subtheme of LEGO Town), LEGO Paradisa has been considered by many to be a more girl-oriented subtheme among the regular Town sets of 1992-1997, with pastel and pink colors scattered throughout the usual LEGO color template. I’ve got two articles planned for today, and this is the first – charting the evolution of LEGO themes and sets marketed towards girls, and another that will drop later tonight, so be sure to stay tuned!

While it may seem “girly”, LEGO Dots is actually positioned as gender-neutral, and caters to both boys and girls’ desire to express their creativity through mosaics and tiles.

Some think the range was not profitable enough, while others think the series was not popular enough with older girls and teens.
