This line was LONG overdue... She will go nuts for this...

Gee thanks Lego, get me to spend even MORE money with you!!!
I recently blogged on this very topic if you're interested :
http://gimmelego.blogspot.com/2011/11/girls-stuff.html
What's fascinating to me is the strength of feeling that I've encountered about the new figures, both pro and con; you can see a few comments below the blog posting which maybe illustrate this point.
As a kid, I did have some Paradisa but also pirates and space. It never bothered me whether a set was intended for boys or girls, I just liked building the sets and making up stories for the characters (not much has changed in the last 20 years, it seems :)
Also, I think it will be great for parents who want to buy lego for friend's daughter's but suspect if they're not already into it, they'll think there's a mistake in buying normal lego. Sounds sad to us, but I've heard the 'boys toy' a few times.
And I really can't wait for the new animals. Hedgehogs on my roads = comedy shots
I'm sure the friends line will sell well, and I'm going to buy them all for my nieces, but I'm in the boat of those who keep wondering what marketing person at Lego doesn't recognize that female lego fans keep asking for more female minifigures. Btw, my way around this has been to order female heads from Lego [email protected] They may have the same face, but the girls are just happy the police force is all female :)
I will probably buy one or two Friends sets for parts, but that's it.
My little sister had a bunch of those Paradisa sets from during the time I wasn't into Legos. I might have to go down in the parent's basement and root around in her stuff and see if she still has them.

Bit of MOC and it could come up quite nice :)

@legofantexas, we also have a 3 year that will turn 4 next August... Her birthday is on the 11th...
But I'll still buy a few of these for her. Love the old mid-2000s Belville stuff -aka the Royal Wedding Coach. Geez, those are pricey and rare.
@legofantexas that is crazy... Does your girl play with Legos? I had to buy mine some so she would let me build mine... We also have a 14 month old and another one coming in about 4 weeks so I been buying her duplo since I'm afraid the little ones would choke on them...
I'm quite sure my little girl will end up with the entire Friends line at some point, but she is young enough that I don't need to do it right away, I'll wait for sales.
Lots of August babies... We are done with them though... We wanted a third one, but not this soon.... I figured we would wait a couple of years but oh well... We'll manage :)
Whenever I buy a big collection on eBay or Craigslist - my daughter and I fight over the parts like vultures - it's pretty funny.
