History YMMV / LEGOFriends

* NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity: ''Toys/LegoFriends'' initially received a lot of flack from adult [[{{UsefulNotes/Feminism}} Feminists]], including getting a [[MedalOfDishonour a TOADY]] ([[FunWithAcronyms Toys Oppressive And Destructive to Young Children]]) from the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood (now known as Fairplay) and a two part video from WebVideo/FeministFrequency. Despite this, the line was a massive success when it launched in May 2012, with the line doubling sales expectations, with sales to girls tripling in the same year.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The "Girls on a Mission" reboot is considered an EvenBetterSequel, but not everyone liked the way the girls were redesigned.

* PeripheryDemographic: The specialized pieces/'accessories' have attracted an audience that LEGO was not shooting for.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Olivia in "Midwinter Night's Dream". Having spent all year working on her entry for the Robotics Challenge convention, she starts off as reasonably upset with Emma after she loses to the latter by freak accident. However, her refusal to hear out her friends (her BFFs, no less) and to understand Emma's regret veers her into DesignatedHero territory. It doesn't help that she hitherto was the [[TeenGenius smartest]] and the most level-headed of her friends.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: At the end of episodes such as "Emma's Dilemma" and "Roomies", Stephanie and [[AlphaBitch Tanya]] put aside their rivalry. You'd think both girls make an effort to be more amicable in future episodes, [[StatusQuoIsGod but this never happens.]]

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Olivia in "Midwinter Night's Dream". We're expected to feel sorry for her after she lost the Invention Contest to Emma, after the latter accidentally placed the wings of the former's robot on her art. But her self-righteousness, her inability to listen to reason, and tendency to blame others for things that either aren't their fault or have little control of, make it hard for people to feel sorry for her. She lashes out at Emma for stealing her victory and future (even though it was an accident), and her other friends for defending them and even wished she had never met any of them. Even after her robot showed her the good times she had with her friends, she still seems to care more about her future than about her friends.

She lashes out a Emma for stealing her victory and future (even though it was an accident), and her other friends for defending them and even wished she had never met any of them, and even after her robot showed her the good times she had with her friends, she seemingly cared and was interested way more about her future than about her friends and remains adamant at them.

* HilariousInHindsight: The surprise party episode has Mia figuring out how to pull a toy rabbit from her hat, only for a passing bird to snatch it, just like in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxFfxTZA6ao this]] viral video.

* UnfortunateImplications: The more detailed figures may suggest a more "idealized" feminine form.

* UnfortunateImplications: Aside from the obvious idealized female image thing they have going on, the sets are also the [[ViewersAreMorons extremely easy]] to build despite being mainline sets comparable to Castle, Atlantis or Ninjago.
