Description

Four figures for a scene in the undergrowth

Four minifigures from only 90 pieces: play clearly comes first here. The title describes the scene, an ambush in the woods with two sides facing each other. The elements mostly provide scenery and small pieces of equipment so the figures have something to defend or hide behind. The set fits into the medieval and fantasy world of the Castle theme and can be combined with other castle sets for a bigger scene.

Forest colours with a gold accent

Reddish brown, pearl gold, green and blue set the colour scheme. The brown and green stand for trunks and foliage, the pearl gold adds shiny accents on armour or accessories, and the blue most likely belongs to one of the two parties. Of the 90 pieces, 45 are different variants, exactly half. That points to many small special parts, which are useful for figures and accessories whenever you want to stage your own scenes.

An addition to bigger castles

Small sets like this are easy to fold into a larger landscape. A copse, a path and a few figures quickly turn a castle into a whole play world. This page shows all parts with quantity and colour, which helps when replacing pieces. With the What can I build? tool you can also check which further sets you could put together from your stock if you mix parts from several Castle boxes.

Who might want it

The set suits children who enjoy knight and fantasy play, and collectors of minifigures. The four figures also make it interesting for adults who build armies or scenes. Since it came out in 2013, it is mostly sold second-hand now. Compare the parts list before you buy, so you can tell whether the accessories and special parts are truly complete and whether every figure still has its equipment with it.
