Ok so we have bought our girls some lego for xmas, and we are having no end of trouble - I really want to get them some neat little people to go with it so have been buying little sets of cars etc that come with people. However, THERE ARE NO FEMALES!! in all the sets i have seen you can sometimes get 1 girl in a huge expensive set (ie speed racer track set comes with heaps of people and one skanky looking female).

How rude.    All i want is some lego girls.   I don't want to buy that silly bellville stuff as the figurines are so much bigger.     What the heck happened?!

Anyone know where i can find any... i even searched trade-me last night.

yeah i've just had another look and some lovely person has listed heaps of mini-figs (people) this morning, lots of ones you can't really get etc like sponge bobs too - very cute but pricey!.    There is one listing where you can get female figures but they want $19 for 3 of them!!!!

Maybe something we get a little of every month or so, eventually we'll build up a good collection by the time they are too old for it! lol

We had the wigs growing up too so they could be boys or girls.

That is pretty bad you should definitely complain.

I don't think you should worry about it. If you only gave your girls a tool set for Christmas, being girls they would turn it into "mothers and fathers" somehow

I had a lego set with a couple of wigs too but I vaguely remember seeing a female figure that had red bow lips and 'prettier' eyes in a friends set
