LEGO Clikits 7559: Sports

Product Information

LEGO-fans often neglect Clikits as not LEGO-ish enough. However these little jewel-like pieces are fully compatible with regular LEGO elements. The colors (with a few exceptions) are the same as regular LEGO parts. And they can add great detail to your LEGO creations. 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? LEGO Friends is LEGO’s most popular female-oriented theme: it doubled sales expectations in 2012 and tripled sales to girls, and the theme is still going strong to this day – regularly taking a spot in the 5 most popular LEGO themes, alongside City, Star Wars and Ninjago. 8. Disney Princess (2014-Ongoing) LEGO found that girls and boys played with Legos differently from one another. They consistently had distinct ideas about how to interact with the same toys they encountered—expectations that seemed to be drawn along gender lines in focus group after focus group. Lego had stumbled into a dynamic that’s as familiar as it is controversial; the idea that boys and girls, from a very young age, construct starkly divergent worlds for play.

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® ClikitsTransparent Light Royal Blue. Only used in 2005 in Clikits and almost identical to 143 Transparent Fluorescent Blue.

LEGO® Clikits was very popular with girls around the world. It was a great success and new sets were released every year. In 2006 the range was expanded to include a variety of other merchandise such as bags, pens and watches. But in 2009, despite all the successes that had been had, LEGO® Clikits was discontinued. 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. Despite its relatively modest lineup (only 18 sets were released in total), Paradisa is an iconic LEGO theme, and has earned a soft spot in many LEGO fans’ hearts. 4. Belville (1994 – 2008) 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.Introduced in 2015, LEGO Elves featured the reappearance of minidolls, but had a fantasy/medieval focus. 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. 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. The most obvious use of the icons, then, is as decorations. They work well with the 2x2 tile with one centre stud.

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.Clikits sets included pencil cases, bags, purses, bracelets, notebooks, and more, significantly expanding on the LEGO jewellery and stationery lineup. 7. Friends (2012-Ongoing) Light Yellow (Light Yellow). This colour was introduced in 1994 with Belville and LEGO® DUPLO®. It was largely replaced by 226 Cool Yellow around 2004, but it was still used occasionally until around 2005. 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. 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 On the secondary market, LEGO Elves sets are currently worth a fortune, especially ones with Dragons in them. 10. DC Super Hero Girls (2017)

A few years later, LEGO released the first wave of Scala sets. This was the first of several jewellery-related LEGO themes, and consisted of multiple printed 2×2 tiles that could be assembled into a wearable bracelet, pendant, or rings. The Scala theme would return later, but in a different form… 3. Paradisa (1992-1997) In our newsletter you will receive weekly information about LEGO®. We search for the coolest and most surprising LEGO® MOCs to build, tell you the most interesting LEGO® facts and show you the most beautiful LEGO® creations of other LEGO® fans. So sign up for our newsletter. We embarked on four years of global research with 4,500 girls and their moms. Some of the things we heard were really surprising and challenging in ways that weren’t really comfortable for us as a brand.” 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. Finally, here's a Clikits ring with 1x1 polo plate in its female connector, and a flower with 318 bar connector in its hole.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. As a dad to a bright 4-year old daughter, I’ve had the privilege of watching this play out over the last few years, as she’s (naturally) began to appreciate the ridiculous amounts of LEGO lying about my house.
