One of the biggest problems with lego's is that they are too good. You only needed one decent sized set to ever make anything really neat. In order for a product like that to be sustainable, you have to introduce new sets, or collectable stuff, and when that becomes your primary source of income, it gets all of your marketing focus, and the brand loses its original identity and appeal. I don't think that they are doing this to market to girls as much as they are to people who think lego's are ugly, much in the same way that the collectable sets are to people who want something impressive and complex to build but do not have the time or energy to come up with designs themselves. I hate that it came to this. =[
