I dont remember seing these in the UK at all, and in 1996 I was fanatical about lego castle, and I loved the Robin Hood sets from the late 80s.Richardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822001410800884123.post-43748399847715969562017-03-07T11:18:22.187-08:002017-03-07T11:18:22.187-08:00This might sound stupid but, it looks so simple an...This might sound stupid but, it looks so simple and blocky ;)<br /><br />I know that lego has changed over the years and they gradually incorporated Technic pieces into lego and have added new pieces every few years, but it's weird seeing it like this.

I just missed the original Forestmen, so I loved these. I was a huge Robin Hood fan, so getting Lego figs that I could use as Mr. Hood himself was great. I just wish they had made more of them. Although these sets are quite expensive today I am tempted to go back and pick up not only these, but the original Forestman as well. My son's just starting to get into Lego's, and he would love these.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822001410800884123.post-90266293355875263632014-08-10T10:38:22.223-07:002014-08-10T10:38:22.223-07:00Hello,

The jail on the top of other tree, good scene for the prisoner. <br /><br />6079 is my favorite top ten for the castle theme. :D<br /><br />Wait your next report. :DMatthew Lunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17475461472398787068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822001410800884123.post-44361421098708357652012-02-21T07:52:20.778-08:002012-02-21T07:52:20.778-08:00Hi Steve,

That was a reason why I chose not to purchase that set from the Dark Forest Series maybe 12 years back ? haha. Anyway, it was great reading your post again, it always make me my day!
