About this deal

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. 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. Light Yellow (Light Yellow). This colour was introduced in 1994 with Belville and LEGO® DUPLO®. It was largely replaced by 226 Cool Yellow around 2004, but it was still used occasionally until around 2005. She doesn’t enjoy playing with Ninjago vehicles, or cars, but loves constructing different “worlds”, featuring Friends minidolls, minifigures, animals and houses. She explicitly prefers Minidolls over Minifigures as she better relates to them. 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)

Today's subject is another 'girl'-theme. In the first episode of Is This LEGO I've taken a look at Scala, which is a mix of LEGO and Barbie, and listed all efforts by LEGO to appeal to the female demographic. There have been 3 themes dedicated to creating jewelry. The first, Scala (but not the one I previously mentioned) ran in 1979 and 1980 with 9 sets. In 2020, LEGO introduced DOTS, which has taken off in a big way and is pumping out sets in big numbers. From what I've seen on social media there is a big dedicated fanbase for this theme. We embarked on four years of global research with 4,500 girls and their moms. Some of the things we heard were really surprising and challenging in ways that weren’t really comfortable for us as a brand.”Transparent Bright Yellowish Green (Trans-Light Bright Green). Introduced in Belville and Clikits in 2003. Last used in 2006, this colour was never used outside those two themes and Duplo. 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. So, to summarise, Clikits parts with female connections can be used effectively, and legally, with System parts. Those with male ones can be connected into anti-studs, but only at risk of damaging the part if it remains affixed for long periods. Several sizes of picture frame were produced in a myriad of transparent colours. This is the smallest. The holes accept icons with male connectors which means you can also insert studs. The holes are spaced two studs apart.

Unlike other construction sets released in that year, the Homemaker theme was designed to provide a dollhouse-like play experience, with molded and printed pieces depicting furniture. LEGO Friends was LEGO’s answer to the City theme, but what about a fantasy castle theme? Enter LEGO Elves.LEGO found that girls and boys played with Legos differently from one another. They consistently had distinct ideas about how to interact with the same toys they encountered—expectations that seemed to be drawn along gender lines in focus group after focus group. Lego had stumbled into a dynamic that’s as familiar as it is controversial; the idea that boys and girls, from a very young age, construct starkly divergent worlds for play. The theme is still going strong (we in the Ong households are contributing heavily to sales!) and is testament to the cultural cachet of Disney Princess and LEGO minidolls – a combination that has been paid off dividends for both LEGO and Disney. 9. Elves (2015-2018) Fire Yellow is very similar to Bright Yellow but slightly brighter and used around 2004, exclusively in Clikits. Transparent Light Royal Blue. Only used in 2005 in Clikits and almost identical to 143 Transparent Fluorescent Blue.

So, with the added build-functions of the 7532-1, does this change my mind? Well, no, not really. Yes, the set offers a form of build, but it still doesn't offer the feel and looks of a LEGO build. Without a link to SYSTEM parts other than some of the holes being anti-stud size, the connection to LEGO is minimal at best. Finally, LEGO Dots. This theme featured the return of LEGO jewellery/stationery, and in my opinion is the most successful version yet. As a dad to a bright 4-year old daughter, I’ve had the privilege of watching this play out over the last few years, as she’s (naturally) began to appreciate the ridiculous amounts of LEGO lying about my house. 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. 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?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) 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) 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.

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. 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.Under the Dots theme, LEGO has done storage boxes, bracelets, bag tags and more, and no doubt the theme will have even more variety in future. 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. 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. It's a bit like Galidor: in itself, Clikits is a nice toy that does well what it's designed to do: decorate various objects. The range of types and colors of Icons is massive, and surprisingly not really uber-pink, so if you're into decorating, this theme has you covered. My 6-yo enjoyed the large frame a lot. So I can't fault the design team, they did a good job on Clikits... if it was produced by any other toy company. I can link it to ZNAP: in itself a great product, but for me it needs more connection to SYSTEM to be seen as LEGO. In that regard, DOTS is doing a much better job.
