Lucasarts Store shuns the girls

According to this topic:
Yeah ok. Stormtrooper armor with curves. Fine. But that's it?As per usual Home shortchanges on women. Don't worry ladies, Threads has new shoes.
Nothing else? The guys get Indiana Jones ensemble, Stormtrooper armor AND Imperial Officer Uniform? C'mon, I thought we were over this.
No Leia Slave Girl? No Imperial Officer Uni for ladies? How about an x-wing pilot for ladies? Endor Rebel soldier? Hot communications officer? No, guess not.
Okay then, maybe Marion Ravenwood in that slinky number from Raiders of the Lost Ark? Anyone? Beuller??
Guess I'll have to settle for some Mon Mothma pajamas or "Admiral Akbar (F)" or something like that. Yay. Can't wait to not buy that.
Look, overall I like the direction the mall is going. However, you guys need to make these things a hit with both men and women. Sure, bring up the argument that "most users in Home are men" or "most star wars fans are males". But I thought those that be would have learned, by now, what the impact of shunning females in Home is. And by the sheer volume of awesome clothes the ladies have been getting lately, I had thought Sony/Home/Devs/Management had finally gotten the clue.
Too bad Lucas Arts didn't. For now, I will not be spending money in that store.

Wow, More Failures than Usual!
Every time Home gives us the slightest glimpse of Hope... They crush it like a bug. But not any bug, one of those gross bugs that explodes and makes a crunching sound.
First there's this post about content refusing to be bought:
Every time i got to checkout at the lucusarts store I'm getting an error "this content cannot be selected at this time" Thanks. Glad I got up early
FAIL. I checked into it and got the same error. Please comment to let us know if you got it too. Next up, buying stuff and not receiving it, a Home Classic:
Do not buy the locoroco stuff because it does not appear after you have bought it.Ok, that was to the point, but did other people notice?
Are you asking a question? I wish people would right coherently on simple sentences.
Yes, the stuff do NOT show up after you buy them. What a jip. I just spent more than $12 for no reason. The information says that I get an instant download of the virtual stuff but I don't have it. Sony broke the contract with me. I did not agree to a "pay now receive maybe later" for the virtual stuff.
I'll take that as a yes, FAIL #2. Next, we have the lightsaber. Everyone wanted these so badly. Home provided. Think they did so without screwing it up?:
The Lightsaber is $5...
Thats outrageous
That's from Fail777! King and ruler of Failtopia. But is that the only issue? seems not:
I saw a girl with a lightsaber, it didnt even glow
Awesome, overpriced, non-glowing lightsaber. Even the Glow rods glow, why don't these? FAIL #3. Anything else? How about Sodium:
just as subject says i lost 4.99 in new store at mall. i was tryin 2 buy da animated emoticon love bundle and lost 4.99. I got an error, but dnt write it dwn srry. who do i contact to get refund. plz helpFAIL 4. And the day has barely started. This is going to be a fun update.
