LEGO Clikits 7559: Sports

Product Information

So, to summarise, Clikits parts with female connections can be used effectively, and legally, with System parts. Those with male ones can be connected into anti-studs, but only at risk of damaging the part if it remains affixed for long periods. LEGO® Clikits was an innovative series designed to reach a new audience - girls. It was a great success and became very popular around the world. Although the series was eventually discontinued, it remains a popular and beloved series among LEGO® fans of all ages. For some reason Clikits sets are much derided but many of their parts have the potential to be used with System parts to provide decoration, greebling and even facilitate connections that are otherwise impossible. Superhero fans were treated to the LEGO DC Super Hero Girls wave in 2017. It was yet another minidoll-based theme, but its vibrant color scheme and unique buildings combined with several new characters made it a worthy theme nonetheless.

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. 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. Introduced in 2015, LEGO Elves featured the reappearance of minidolls, but had a fantasy/medieval focus. While not technically a standalone theme (it was technically a subtheme of LEGO Town), LEGO Paradisa has been considered by many to be a more girl-oriented subtheme among the regular Town sets of 1992-1997, with pastel and pink colors scattered throughout the usual LEGO color template. This part is used for bracelets. It has a single female connector in the middle underneath and might make a nice greebly part for a pink spaceship.

Here’s a list and brief history of LEGO’s efforts to creating themes that could be geared towards girls, and how their efforts have evolved over the years. 1. Homemaker (1971-1982) 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. 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) Transparent Light Royal Blue. Only used in 2005 in Clikits and almost identical to 143 Transparent Fluorescent Blue.

This ring is used to affix icons with male connectors to thin plastic sheets or cloth components. It fits firmly on a stud. Here I've used a 318 bar/wand to keep them, and 1x1 'polo' plates, together. I can see this being a useful greebling technique. While it may seem “girly”, LEGO Dots is actually positioned as gender-neutral, and caters to both boys and girls’ desire to express their creativity through mosaics and tiles. 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? 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. It’s important to note that I have quite a few LEGO Friends and Princess sets on display (personal preference), and I didn’t intentionally steer her towards that direction – I have many more minifigure sets, but she was just drawn towards them. The LEGO Friends TV shows are also a huge part of this, and she loves watching them on Netflix, and building bonds with those characters on-screen, and the Minidolls that represent them.

On the secondary market, LEGO Elves sets are currently worth a fortune, especially ones with Dragons in them. 10. DC Super Hero Girls (2017) Finally, LEGO Dots. This theme featured the return of LEGO jewellery/stationery, and in my opinion is the most successful version yet. In 1997, LEGO Scala returned… except that it bore no resemblance to its 1979 predecessor. Instead, the sets included dolls, along with unique molded furniture to, again, create a dollhouse-like play experience.
