A couple clarifications for you: the Treehouse set was in the initial grouping of sets, along with Cafe, Beauty Shop, Inventor’s Workshop, Vet clinic, House, etc. Also, the second wave of sets, such as Flying Club (which you feature) was already designed and in production before the petition — so your attribution is mis-placed! It was even debuted at the February 2012 (yes, twenty-twelve) New York Toy Fair; those images were already online before the petition with false information received its help by the mailing.
That you mention your “scope” of this theme was narrowed by “your” Internet ‘world’ is typical of people who could not see its benefits of getting more girls interested in building with bricks. You were being blinded by the hyped rage. Organization which continually “only” showed images of certain sets they felt were stereotyping failed to be objective and include the whole range. Now that you see them, even you are realizing the benefits.

Thanks for the link. I found the site interesting to read. I actually think they make some good points about what is right with Lego friends, but I don’t like the way they make the points.

And as a little edition to my article – they now have a karate set and a magician. They definitely are improving!

Thanks!!!
