Lego cows your opinion

Post by legokilt »

Folks,

What are peoples' feelings regarding the Lego cows. I think it is great that they have them, but I think they look too juvenile, or cartoony, the heads are too round. I really like the BrickForge cows and think they blend in perfectly with the Lego horses and dogs. What do you think?

Kinda feel the same way, but I dig the cows. Would love to have a whole herd! I am glad Lego is branching out and making more molded animals.

I like the cows. I do wish they were a bit more like the horses (like the brickforge animals are), but I'm just glad to have cows. I also wish they'd come in more and/or cheaper sets.

I'm hoping to pick up some pigs in the future too...

I think this has been discussed before, but I'm pretty sure most people seem to like them a lot. They are long over due. They don't have the classic feel (like the Brick Forge animals do)in line with the horses, but they are still very appealing. I don't think it's a case of "something is better than nothing". So in my opinion is this.....Lego cows are great. I'm happy they made them, it didn't take long for this "old schooler" to warm up to them, but the delay in releasing an animal that should have come out 20 years ago is ridiculously stupid.

I saw the "official" Lego cows before I ever saw the brickforge ones... I like Lego's version better.

Cows have round heads in real life would you believe? It's crazy, I know! :D

I am moving this topic to the General LEGO forum as it is more appropriate there. The LEGO Castle Sets forum is only for discussion of castle sets. Thanks.

I guess I'll just post about how my TLG cows like living near my castle MoC just as much as my BrickForge cows do.


I guess I'm just a fan of brick bovines, no matter who cast them.

love the cows.. hate the fact that the only way to get them is in a crazy expensive set...

I'd love a farm pack, or a wagon pulled by oxen or something for a cheap freak like me...

Cows from Brickforge are simply better than lego cows in my opinion.
But it`s very good that Lego made his own cows. Lego purists will have a choice now.
To cow or not to cow :lol:
