“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”

“Dark Forest Fortress was released in 1996 for the Forestmen. The fortress has a defensive catapult, living area, a jail with a skeleton, and a collapsing tree. A Dragon Master wagon complete with a driver, soldier, and treasure must pass by the fortress and its four... More forestmen. This set had a limited release in Europe and was not pictured in many catalogs.”
