What is or isn't gender-neutral is quite subjective. Pink lego sets about princesses and ponies may seem quite gendered, but what about a fire truck set? Lego City, Castle and Space each started out in the late 70s. Where those gendered? Perhaps not as overtly gendered as pink princess stuff, but nevertheless I bet they sold more of those sets to boys than girls.
To Lego's credit, they did seem to make a point of putting both girls and boys on their advertisements.
- smoldesu 4y agoI didn't really mind it because when you mixed them up in a tupperware bin there was no "girl set" or "boy set", just a mess of Legos. Plus, like you said, there was a glut of gender-independent sets that were frankly pretty awesome. It doesn't matter if you're a boy, girl, or otherwise - you want to build that $399 Death Star kit if it's the last thing you do.
