LEGO Clikits 7559: Sports

Product Information

While many associate Belville as being an older, “retro” theme, it may surprise you to learn that LEGO actually made Belville sets as recently as 2008. 5. Scala (1997-2001)

Flamingo Pink was only used in 2006 in three Clikits sets. Suitably, it was used for the flamingo element you can spot in the first image in this article.That’s it for a non-exhaustive look at LEGO’s history when it comes to themes and products marketed at girls, and how their approach has evolved over the years. Introduced in 2015, LEGO Elves featured the reappearance of minidolls, but had a fantasy/medieval focus. Transparent Light Royal Blue. Only used in 2005 in Clikits and almost identical to 143 Transparent Fluorescent Blue. DOTS is a particularly interesting theme, and I think is the culmination of years and years of consumer research, representing LEGO’s (and the world’s) shift from explicitly gendered toys, to more inclusive play experiences, breaking down some barriers like boys can’t play with bright colours and bracelets.

The male Clikits connector does just fit into an anti-stud, as I said above, but they are under stress so LEGO would consider this an illegal connection. Light Green (Light Green) . Introduced in 1992 with LEGO® Paradisa and Duplo, this colour was rare outside of girls' themes, such as Belville and LEGO® Scala. It was last used in 2005. I’ve got two articles planned for today, and this is the first – charting the evolution of LEGO themes and sets marketed towards girls, and another that will drop later tonight, so be sure to stay tuned! LEGO® Clikits is a colorful and fun series of LEGO® parts and accessories introduced in 2003. Designed specifically for girls ages 6 to 12, it offers a creative way to make jewelry, accessories and decorations. But how did the LEGO® Clikits series come about and what is the history of LEGO® Clikits? The start of LEGO® Clikits She doesn’t enjoy playing with Ninjago vehicles, or cars, but loves constructing different “worlds”, featuring Friends minidolls, minifigures, animals and houses. She explicitly prefers Minidolls over Minifigures as she better relates to them.

Up next is yet another iconic LEGO theme, Belville. These sets had large molded pieces, and doll-like figures; once again prioritising the dollhouse-like play experience. There are several theories as to why LEGO® Clikits was eventually discontinued. Some think the range was not profitable enough, while others think the series was not popular enough with older girls and teens. Still popular Light Bluish Green (Aqua). This colour was introduced in 1998 in Scala and was also used frequently in Belville and Clikits, but not much else. Retired in 2006. What I love about LEGO, is the rich history the brand has. Even though I've been an admin here for 6 years now, and LEGO is a daily part of my life, I still run into things that are new to me. I'm sure others will have the same experience. And with this long history, there are bound to be themes and products that have you wondering: Is this LEGO? This ring with two female connections can be used to join pieces stud-to-stud. I cannot think of another LEGO piece that enables this to be done in such a small space.

The male connector is very slightly larger than a stud, due to the lip round the top that holds it securely in the female connector. It will just fit into an anti-stud if you give it a push but it will be under stress.Unlike other construction sets released in that year, the Homemaker theme was designed to provide a dollhouse-like play experience, with molded and printed pieces depicting furniture. It’s been really interesting to see the shift in their approach, and personally, I really like how LEGO Friends has expanded beyond typically “girly” town-settings like Bakeries to include more adventurous themes like Jungle/Animal Rescue and Underwater Exploration. Today's subject is another 'girl'-theme. In the first episode of Is This LEGO I've taken a look at Scala, which is a mix of LEGO and Barbie, and listed all efforts by LEGO to appeal to the female demographic. There have been 3 themes dedicated to creating jewelry. The first, Scala (but not the one I previously mentioned) ran in 1979 and 1980 with 9 sets. In 2020, LEGO introduced DOTS, which has taken off in a big way and is pumping out sets in big numbers. From what I've seen on social media there is a big dedicated fanbase for this theme. The theme is still going strong (we in the Ong households are contributing heavily to sales!) and is testament to the cultural cachet of Disney Princess and LEGO minidolls – a combination that has been paid off dividends for both LEGO and Disney. 9. Elves (2015-2018)

To capitalise on the new Minidoll form-factor, LEGO deepened its partnership with Disney with the Disney Princess line, which transformed iconic Disney Princesses into minidolls.

Finally, LEGO Dots. This theme featured the return of LEGO jewellery/stationery, and in my opinion is the most successful version yet. Finally, here's a Clikits ring with 1x1 polo plate in its female connector, and a flower with 318 bar connector in its hole. On the secondary market, LEGO Elves sets are currently worth a fortune, especially ones with Dragons in them. 10. DC Super Hero Girls (2017)
