I’ve started selling Lego sets I’ve finished building to get funds and space for new sets. One woman bought a police station set and mentioned that her boys didn’t want any of the “girly” sets.
Are there girly sets? Oh, yes. If you have boys who don’t want to build with pink, purple and turquoise pieces do not buy any of the Heartlake Friends sets.
The friends are five girls who live quite active lives and their sets have lots of interesting pieces. You saw one of them previously in my RV series. Did you even notice the colors of the Class C? Or that the people in that set are built differently? Look again: https://sandcastle.sandsys.org/2018/04/lego-rvs/
But I enjoy the details of these sets just as much as the ones that are not “girly” colors. The one I just built is a hospital:
(Remember you can click on photos to enlarge them.)
While it’s true that most boys would not be interested in the nursery ward, by not building sets like these they miss out on the fun stuff, too. Like staging an accident where a boy’s wheel comes off his bicycle then he is transported by ambulance or in a sling under a helicopter to the hospital where he gets x-rays, is shown on a skeleton where his broken bone is, then gets a cast put on his wrist. He might also get bandages wrapped around his head. Tell me, what boy wouldn’t like acting out that scenario?
Girly sets indeed.

that Mother who is bringing her lads up to not like all “genders” is going to get a big shock if one decides he would like to be a nurse or a similar mainly female gender arena… I know there are many male nurses but not as many as there are females IMHO…
that’s strange. I always thought that legos were beyond that sort of thing!
and wow. that hospital has some really intricate design! you’re getting better and better.
and… you’ve found a neat way to keep it fresh without breaking the bank!
