About Forestmen

A Robin Hood feel

Where most Castle sets revolve around kings and stone walls, this sub-theme is about people who live outside them. The models are hideouts, crossings and river forts built around trees, and the figures in green and brown clearly borrow from the Robin Hood legend. That gave the range a different mood from the knights it shared the shelf with, and it still has a loyal following among fans of the classic era.

Every set, largest first

Forestmen's River Fortress (6077-2) from 1989 is the biggest with 359 pieces. Camouflaged Outpost (6066-1), the 1987 debut, has 228, followed by Forestmen's Crossing (6071-1, 212 pieces) from 1990 and Forestmen's Hideout (6054-1, 202 pieces) from 1988. Three small carts complete the list: Hay Cart with Smugglers (1680-1, 67), Crusader's Cart (1877-1, 60) and Smuggler's Hayride (1974-3, 50). With only seven entries, a complete collection is realistic, and the parts lists here help you check second-hand sets for missing trees or accessories.
