I absoloutley love the Forestmen theme. I think it was a great addition to the Lego© Castle line. My firsy forestmen's set was 6071 - Forestmen's Crossing it was a great set. I fell head over heels for the Forestmen after that. I still love them to this day. Including the Dark Forest line.

Great, great theme! The original Lego© Castle rebel faction. Robinhood himself would be proud.

Perhaps with this new castle line will come a forestmen sub-theme

Cmon, LEGO! Make more Forestmen!

When I saw the forestmen for the first time I was blown away! This faction can be used is so many ways; peasants, elves, rebels, etc.

When I first saw the Forestmen sets I loved them. Although I couldn't buy any because I never saw the in stores. I'd love to see LEGO recreate the Forestmen theme.

A fantastic line. There's really not much to be said on how good this line is - one of the Big Four of Classic Castle. If only they were around today...of course, as Rayhawk noted the flashy lights and gimmicks of MegaBloks would push them off the shelves.

I love the minifigures, but their sets are kinda boring...

Hmm, I never really gained much of their sets till much later, but the forestmen I had a a child definately got a TON of use. They were (and still are to some degree) a favorite faction.

One of the more creative lines IMO. The sets were great, combining old castle sections with trees and the like...wow LEGO where are sets like these now?
