Dark Forest Fortress Reviews

Steve's LEGO Blog
“This set is really good because of one thing, theme, it focuses on telling a story and improving the LEGO world... The story it is telling is of an ambush in the forests, we get two nice tall trees, a wonderfully designed baseplate (first seen in blue for the pirates... More Enchanted Island set) and a very well designed carriage, these elements alone make the set interesting.”

Wonderful addition to forestmen/dark forest theme — “I really enjoy this set. It comes with a pretty nice selection of different forestmen, and a couple other minifigs. One interesting feature of this set is a collapsing tree -- I could see it being quite effective in blocking that wagon's path! This set also has a neat... More catapult (the thing in the center of the set) and you really can launch those 1X2 bricks pretty far”

About Castle Dark Forest

The Dark Forest subtheme released in 1996 consisted of only 3 sets and were primarily only available in North America. Dark Forest is a somewhat continuation of the Forestmen subtheme which was discontinued in 1990 as it reused the same crest and used other environment structures such as forest hideouts.
