Fort Legoredo - 6769 - Rebuild

[TWO2SEVEN]

EDIT: Instead of starting multiple topics I will continue to post the rest of my Western builds in this thread. More coming soon! :)

I sorted and started to rebuild Fort Legoredo last night. I only got as far as the main gate, but it has been really cool to relive this one again. I will keep this thread updated as the build progresses.

I wish I have this set. It is just so good! Only western set I got is a small gun cart. Yeey. Need more of them, don't you think? Happy for you that you have a lot of them.

One of the best ever!

One of the best ever!

I agree. I forgot about some of the play features like trap doors and bars to lock the front gates :)

I will probably finish it up tonight and then build the rest of my Western stuff to go with it before I repack them to store for my son. :)

I have always wanted this set, definitely one of the best like Ecbirx said!

I finished up the fort tonight. I will get some pictures posted tomorrow.

My plan for the weekend is to build and arrange all of my Western sets together before breaking them down to store. I may also attempt a YouTube video :)

I never owned Fort Legoredo as a child, but it was the inspiration behind many fort creations of my own over the years. I finally bought it as an adult and enjoyed putting it together. However, one of these days I am going to use the Fort and my own creations and combine them into one.

I just got this out from storage recently and wow so difficult to rebuilt when previously didn't fully dissemble.  But such a nice set, although I misplaced the Sheriff somewhere.  
Here are some of my renewed thoughts:

THE GOOD:

• A great set with everything to offer in the western theme.
• It's a pretty massive set considering the area the wall covered and lots of area to place different build inside.
• 3 very detailed side considering the complexities of build offered in 1996.
• The stickers back then surprisingly still not peeling.

THE NOT SO GOOD:

• Still baffle on the decision in the old days having stickers on multiple pieces.
• While there is space of a full base plate in the centre but can feel a bit empty if you have nothing to put inside.
• the shape changes a big with the designed technique to connect all 4 wall.
