WELCOME TO THE SECRET FORESTMEN HIDEAWAY!
Hidden deep in the heart of the Lego woodland is a vast network of caves, passages, hollow trees, and bridges where the Forestmen make their home. Here the Forestmen can hide from pursuing knights, store captured goods, eat hearty meals, plan future attacks, and enjoy some rest and relaxation.
This hideout is located behind a waterfall at the base of an abandoned outpost. It's packed with as many fun play features as I could think of.
- Zipline over the pool from one tree to another!
- Open a hidden door to the right of the waterfall, and slide down into the cave!
- Turn a knob to open the passage to the left of the archery range!
- Press a rock in the pool to activate a light-up brick in the blacksmith forge!
- Turn a torch on the wall to unlock the secret room where the Forestmen store their loot!
- Imprison enemies in the cell inside the cave.
- Open the back of the big tree to access the sleeping quarters!
The model also includes an abundance of woodland creatures. There are: birds, squirrels, frogs, rabbits, fish, sheep, bees, ladybugs, butterflies, spiders, mice, and the king of the forest -- the majestic stag, which adorns the Forestmen shield.
There are 10 minigures in total. They include:
- 6 Forestmen (and women), including a cook, a lute player, and a swimming Forestman.
- 1 Lion Knight
- 1 Wolf Pack scoundrel
- 2 Townsfolk, including, a lady, and a little girl.
The dimensions for the model are:
19.5 in. wide x 13 in. long x 14 in. tall (49.5 cm x 33.5 cm x 35 cm).
WHY I BUILT THIS MODEL:
The Forestmen sub-theme is super cool, and I always hoped it would return in a big way. There were a few different Forestmen hideouts back in the day, but we never got a hideout hidden behind a waterfall. I think that would be amazing, and that's why I built this model.
WHY I BELIEVE IT WOULD MAKE A GREAT SET:
This model combines so much of what made the old castle sets such fun -- hidden secrets, dungeons, old timey minifigures, treasure, play features -- and it does it at a scale that really brings the world to life. It's full of great details that deepen the sense of immersion. My personal favorites are the arrows lodged in the rock behind the archery targets; the candle with the melting wax in the cave; the spilled drink beneath the tap; and the ring at the bottom of the pool, which for two and a half thousand years has passed out of all knowledge.
This would be an eye-popping addition to any builder's collection. I hope you support it!
