Zomg Mega Bloks Copies Lego!


Spoony Bard

Which is exactly what this entry is not about.

 

But is about "copying".

 

Last year, Brickforge (makes custom Lego), designed and molded a cow for System sets. These were heavily showcased at Brickworld, so some Lego staff is aware. This is their cow.

 

So aware that they even made one themselves.

 

So the next time you complain about how Mega Bloks rips off Lego, I want you to think of this entry and eat your words. With a side of bacon.

Keep in mind too, the Brickforge cow looks like it was beaten with an uglystick.

 

No, sorry... TWENTY uglysticks.

 

Really, they looked at the Lego horse and tried to assume what a cow would be like... making it look minimalistically awful... on purpose.

>__<

 

If you want to beat on Lego for ripping off other companies, you need go no further than Z'Nap.

I think its because

1) LEGO came before Mega Blocks.

2) We're on a LEGO fansite.

3) LEGO sets the standard for quality whereas Megabloks lacks it terribly.

 

Lets be honest here. The LEGO cow and the Brickforge cow look quite different. So by producing beards and swords brickforge is copying LEGO if we're thinking along the same mindset. Brickforge probably wouldn't exist if LEGO didn't.

 

I really don't see how the point stands.

Brickforge makes things that Lego doesn't make. This way they avoid any illegalities.

 

Their hair is different than Lego. Their beards are different, and even in different color. Weapons are different. I don't see Lego making Sage staffs and Dragon swords.

 

And you guys say it is different just by seeing the head. Did you look at the body? It is the same.

 

And uh I laugh at your point where you said that Lego sets the standard for quality.

Hmm... but they look very different.

Yeah and so do Mega Bloks and Lego.

 

But yet you guys still rip on that situation.

I don't. >_>

Uh.... even if they're meant to be cows, LEGO's ones actually resemble bulls. :P

Horns were made for brown cows to be made into Bulls.

 

And Lego does have a black and white cow coming up.

The bodies are very similar.

 

Know what else?

 

They're both very similar to the bodies of the LEGO horses.

 

So. Who copied who?

 

AAaaaannnnnyway, you realize that you just sparked a huge debate over MEGA-BLOKS vs. LEGO.

 

Because everyone just wants an excuse to eat bacon.

 

Have you guys taken a good look at the MEGA-BLOKS minifigs?! (Mmm, bacon.)

Hey, if we're talking about cows here, why can't it be a bacon cheeseburger?

Because bacon is so awesome, it shouldn't be an addition to somehting else.
