Forestman GWP set

[Elephant Knight]

So who is excited for this extra castle bonus for Lego's 90th? I am, but may be hard to find something to reach the minimum buy.

Might do my first Lego purchace (for myself) in over a decade around those days...

[jtooker]

I'm excited. I've got a few big purchases I've put off, seems it is time to make one of them.

[FalconWolf]

Looks like a really nice update. Haven't gotten the 3in1 yet, so need to get some other set to get to the GWP min!

[Elephant Knight]

So did anyone else buy enough Lego to get the Forestmen set? I did, and I eagerly await it's arrival.

Yeah, I've got one coming. As FalconWolf alluded to, I grabbed a 3-in-1 castle, and the HP chess set* to make up the difference.

*Which has a surprisingly strong parts assortment, including a white greathelm.

Yep, ordered a Ninjago set and some standard pick a brick. Overshot the $150 but I didn't see any $70 sets I wanted ($83 in pick a brick).

[INTENSS]

I had parts sitting in my cart for over a week waiting for this GWP to become available. Added a small set to get it here quicker…any day now!

[Armored Archer]

I purchased a third 3-in-1 castle and five build-a-minifigure three-packs for the hideout. They added some very good new Castle-oriented parts to the minifigure towers to coincide with this GWP.

I wish I could get to the store more often to check out the BAM assortment... And convince my wife that I need an unlimited budget for BAM...

[Purple Wolf]

The timing of this was perfect as I needed to get Optimus Prime and this conveniently showed up right after he was released. Honestly this is a really generous GWP. Unexpected and really charming.

[AK_Brickster]

I bought the Starry Night set, which I was already planning on getting. Worked out perfectly

[DaleDVM]

I purchased the last 3 modulars which are the only sets I collect outside of castle. That and a huge BAM/Pick a brick order and I got 4 of the GWP hideouts.

I have heard that they will be available again in August so you can get them with the castle as well. So I will be getting several more if that is true.

Heard such rumor (pretty sure it was just a rumor) in some video in the middle/later days of the promotion. Now that it looked like they were still available during the last moments, I guess it's more likely to actually happen they give another chance. To get rid off what remains. Anyways, I don't know how past promotions have been handled!

And yeah indeed decided to start getting back to Lego again during the promotion - ordered the Boutique Hotel not too long after the promotion started. Seemed it has/had nice price per brick and especially such that I would find useful. It's a bit shame that I'll have tight budget and busy times for next ~year or so, and barely any bricks at home.

Received my set in, and built it last night. I must say, it is an incredible little set! I can't compare it to original, as I don't own it, but I feel it really lives up to the spirit. The build itself was quite enjoyable, and some interesting parts usage. Lots of useful parts, too! Especially since I am a fan of black parts.

And those shields. Just wonderful. Only nitpick I have is that the female minifig should have had a hat as well.
