Plus, the timing is perfect for them to have introduced a new "FABULOUS!" unisex line that's all rainbows and glitter.

Look at the Brony phenomenon

HAHA YES!

LADY SCIENTIST AND YETI

I love the lady scientist!  That alone kills two birds with one sto--er..minifig.

Another opportunity LEGO has is in the minifig series...you know, the surprise packs containing collectible lego minifigs.

they manage to celebrate girls engaging with engineering based play without denigrating being girly, they are totally celebrating princesses, faeries and ballerinas, also they gave them tool belts.

It's really too bad that Mega Bloks, like pretty much every Lego clone, have terrible quality. The plastic is too soft, the alignment is bad, the colors look cheap, etc.

Also worth mentioning, this is from Mega Bloks' site:
http://www.megabloks.com/shop/construction-toys/barbie/build-n-style-fashion-stand-80211/

Which is even less creativity-driven than the Lego thing from the OP. The mini figure isn't just the wrong scale from normal figures, it's a Barbie doll that happens to be able to stand on a Mega Bloks platform.

Actually I think megabloks and goldieblox are separate entities.

but the goldieblox line looks awesome.

Yes, Goldieblox is a separate start-up. It's also really cool because it appears to be a completely different concept than Lego or Tinkertoy or really anything else, and it's narrative-driven which helps attract girls. I'm hoping that the line will grow to include toys for older kids, as well.

That said, I still have issues with gender-segregated toys, and Goldieblox is STILL a gender-segregated toy.

me too, but fuck, it's a stepping stone in the right direction for girls whose parents still see these things as rigid.

Yeah, it's better than it NOT existing, and I hope it's very successful and popular.
