Without a doubt, Forestmen.


We're men, we're men in tights.
We roam around the forest looking for fights.
We're men, we're men in tights.
We rob from the rich and give to the poor, that's right!
We may look like sissies, but watch what you say or else we'll put out your lights!
We're men, we're men in tights,
Always on guard defending the people's rights.

We're men, MANLY men, we're men in tights. Yeah!
We roam around the forest looking for fights.
We're men, we're men in tights.
We rob from the rich and give to the poor, that's right!
We may look like pansies, but don't get us wrong or else we'll put out your lights.
We're men, we're men in tights (TIGHT tights),
Always on guard defending the people's rights.
When you're in a fix just call for the men in tights!
We're butch.

I would have to say the wolfpack, I like them better than forestmen because I see them more as a bandit that steals from the rich and keep themselves. But I do like the Robin Hood men in tights movie :roflol:

I agree with the wolfpack crowd... that was a theme with a lot of potential that really should be picked up again - I'd love to see it~

Forestmen.

Of course, if the line were to return I would love to see LEGO go all out and actually make the line an actual Robin Hood theme with minifigs representing the various characters (Robin, John, Marrion, Will etc.). I want my Will Scarlet and dark-red forestman's hat :lol: ! If LEGO can go about paying for modern licences, why not grab onto something on which the copyright has long since expired.

Forestmen. Though I do love the current Fantasy and don't want to see them go for Kingdoms.

We are getting one new Forestmen minifig this year. That's all though.

Wolfpack was a group that I think needed more sets. Maybe some sets where they were actually raiding something. Even if you purchased all of the Wolfpack sets you never really got enough figures to launch a major raid or do any real robbing. My vote is for the Wolfpack.

Ah, one of my favorite topics. How much would I love to see LEGO do a couple of years of medieval legends. By that I mean the stuff that has long been public domain such as Robin Hood, King Arthur and maybe even some of the Grimm's fairy tales. Although perhaps with the new minifig collections we're getting they could take the opportunity to give us figs/characters that wouldn't ever appear in sets like friar Tuck, maid Marion, Arthur Pendragon and Lancelot.

Why do I have to add the word "minifig" to my spell checker every time I use it?!

*edited to remove leak information* please review the TOS.

And the Fantasy theme has had a few peasants, but who wants to drop one hundred buck for a set that is the only place to get peasants. That aside, I look forward to see what Castle has to offer us ahead, and to get back on subject, I would like to see the Forestmen return back to their seats at the top of the Castle Theme!!! :D

Talking about sets that haven't been confirmed yet is against CC's terms of use. If you're not sure, you can always go here. It's #9 on the list.

As for the Market Village; it's hardly a hundred bucks for a few peasants. The set happens to be one of the best assortment of castle bricks and accessories on the market. If you ever have the opportunity, I would pick a copy up while it's still available. A few years from now and you may wish you did.

I'll chime in for a revamped Foresters - a mix of Good Guys (Men in Tights :P ) and Bad Guys (revamped Wolfpack).

And who said the Wolf People are bad? :raiseone: Oh well... I guess they are thieves. Then again, weren't the "Robin Hood" guys ones as well?

I personally would like either of them. LEGO Castle has not seen a rogue/barbarian faction in a long, long time...

Forestmen are thieves who steal for the poor (a somewhat honorable thing in a time of extreme corruption).

Wolfpack steal for themselves and will kill you if you get in their way!


That's how I view them anyways.
