Forest Ambush Reviews
The Brick Fan
“Overall, the first return set for the Castle theme is an fairly decent one. The builds of the set are pretty sub-par but that's about what you would expect considering the amount of pieces you get. The cart is passable and the forest looks more like a bush. The set is pretty... More much an army building set with a good number of knights at a modest price.”
Eurobricks
“The cart has two clips behind each wheel (one with flag, one free for holding a weapon) and two in front (one with a shield and one free for a weapon). The chest holds six 1x1 round "coin" tiles, one goblet, and three jewels that could be useful for creating a medieval... More stoplight (not that improved civil infrastructure would save our travellers from highwaymen such as these thugs).”
Brickipedia
“It features a tip-over tree and a small rock with a flick-fire missile, a cart carrying a treasure chest filled with gold and jewels, a dog, and four minifigures: two King's Knights, one with a sword and shield, while the other is towing the cart filled with gold and three... More diamonds, and a detachable spear; the Axeman, and a Dragon Soldier, and one wielding a flail while the other is wielding an axe and a shield.”
