I can see this from both sides. I always loved legos as a child, but then again I was a tomboy and never owned a barbie doll or anything similar. However, I would gladly buy old school legos for a girl if I had/have one. I don't find this line 'offensive' at all. Just because people are assuming that only girls are going to buy these, which is 'offensive' in and of itself, doesn't mean that they are only for girls. Half the time my son enjoys "girl" toys as much or more than traditional "boy" toys. Meaning he loves to play with dolls, dress up, etc, just as much as he likes his cars and guns.

Also, no matter how much anyone would like to deny it, there are girls out there that really just love pink, purple, Barbies, and princesses, etc. I know several girly-girls under the age of five, whose parents did not 'push' them into it. Several were actually frustrated by the obsession with the color pink, make up, and princesses. So for them, this set will be a great addition to regular legos. It seems like most people are simply assuming that parents are only going to buy these sets of legos and not any other kinds, and also that they are only going to be bought for girls. Assumptions go either way and in this case, I think it's a little ridiculous.
