6077 Forestmen's River Fortress, Year: 1989, Elements: 348, Figs: 6, list Price: $37.50 (USD), Lugnet score (out of 100): 85, Review #: 1 Celebrating life in general, I'm beginning a castle set review series. To begin with, they'll be sets I own and will be chosen based on an extensive vetting process involving my mood... The dea is to spark off castle based conversation, so please comment, review, adapt into a MOC etc. My goal is to eventually makke this template sickeningly familiar so without a long winded rambling introduction (do not look above) here you are: The Thoughts of the inspiring Norro: ...in under a word per brick... One of the true greats. This ranks as one of Lego's finest achievements. The detail, playability, part content, and look are all brilliant. Forget the complications of a band of fugitives having a large tower in the middle of a lake with only a few leaves to disguise it... This set is fun to build and great to play with. The raft is a really nice inclusion and the entrance is so well built you can almost overlook the absence of an interior. With something inside this probably could have challenged for the position of my all time faviourite... Guest Minifig Comments: Even on Lugnet they mock me, the brave intrepid crusader who single handedly (and rather heroically I might add) discovered the lair of the fiendish woodsmen and throwing caution to the wind charged in. They were slightly more sporting thaan people give them credit for, they set aside their bows and just overpowered me... Now I'm sitting in that weird space beside the drawbridge that some set designer said would make a decent dungeon. If you see any crusader's around tell them I'm here...
