Nice fabulastic moc, and filled with nice actions scenes too. I enjoy the building design, as the color combination complements each other.

I believe most Singaporean LEGO collectors, have grabbed this incredible modular set over the weekend, including myself. I am very happy too, to own this exclusive set, to be added along the streets of Cafe Corner, Green Grocer and Market Street.

As a LEGO Classic collector like yourself, you should get this set for sure. When was the last time you saw it? I want it, and I still want to have it, to add into my collection. After all, this set doesn't really belongs to me. I don't understand why you have that evil thought of giving it up. Actually, I intended to get the new Volume 4, but judging from my recent purchase of Volume 2, and compared both red ninja produced in 1999 and 2009, the quality differences is too vast, and it disappoints me greatly... Then again, I might only get one set just to compare them. I miss these LEGO Classic sets.

Sigh.. It doesn't make a big difference right now, since the scums are still at large, and getting rid of the hatchet killer doesn't even out the score. In fact, it allow better plotting coordination among the scums knowing that the random night killer is gone and safe from harm... and continue to harm us in both days and nights...

Thanks guys! Your feedback and views towards this incredible castle set means alot to me. I am really excited to review this set, and it's easily one of the best 1980s castle set released. It can modified and change into any settings with its very average piece count but amazing minifigs' count that swept your mind away. However, I do apologised if some of my images appear to be irregular dark, as I took them on different sessions as half of my previous batch of photos in daytime over the weekend were actually deleted by mistake and I need to re-visit it again. Perhaps, I will try and improve on it, on my next photo session and hope to bring some of my pictures to justice. Norro, I wished I could splurged on this set easily. You bought a lot of it back then? Indeed! This is a good reminder for you to start your restoration project. I am still waiting for that *ahem* Forestmen Lady set, which I am looking for as well. You sure complain a lot, don't you? Anything above is good, except for that flick-fire missiles. Just can't stand it. I like the idea of a black sword. I shared your sentiments. At least, I did try and influence someone to get this set via BrickLink.

Hello everyone and others that shared the love of Forestmen, This is a great opportunity for me, finally having a chance to review one of the highly acclaimed classic castle set of all times, in the Forestmen era. Indeed it is, I shall bring all of you back in time, in 1987 where castle is at its golden age, where the warring factions are mere humans. As a child, I always dream of having Classic Castle sets with a balance of Classic Town sets in my collection, and now as an AFOL, I am attempting to re-visit history once more, to re-discover those sets which I have missed. This Forestmen set is part of my brother’s eBay purchase that is precious to him among his collection. I am indeed impressed with the “used condition” of this classical set of more than 20 years which brings back lots of fond childhood memories... Name: Camouflaged Outpost Theme: LEGO System / Castle / Forestmen Year: 1987 Pieces: 211 Minifigs: 6 Price: USD$23.00 Resources: Brickset, Peeron, BrickLink An image of a 6066, Camouflaged Outpost Who are these mysterious forest rangers? Lurking behind the thick bushes, these armed solders holding bow and arrows, wearing in their green vest and distinct cap. None ever knew their true allegiance as they lived out in this mysterious plot of land where lush greenery and forest are located. Legends proclaim them as the heroic brave Forestmen. 6066 Camouflaged Outpost alternate designs I really missed these alternate designs provided by TLG. Take a look at the possibilities that can be done onto this Camouflaged Outpost, where there are variants such as windmill, drawbridge and treetop fortress. Such alternate designs simply remind me of the current Creator series which offer 2 additional alternate designs. The only difference is past alternate set designs do not provide instructions, while the current Creator series offer 3 instruction manuals for all different designs. Instruction Manual This is a section of the instruction manual where it illustrates the swivel of the outpost’s base. Green baseplates In this set, there are 2 green baseplates acting as the layout of the outpost, using both 16 x 16 and 8 x 16 baseplate respectively. These baseplates are extremely useful for building mocs or starting up a forest or garden layout. Primary building elements The primary building elements assortment are very useful for any classic castle mocs, consisting mainly black and old gray bricks. It’s no longer possible in present day to obtain the old gray bricks such as 1 x 1 and 1 x 2. These bricks are highly in demand and expensive in BrickLink for building castle MOCs. Printed parts These are the pair of old gray panel, with dark gray scattered stones pattern printed on it. These are so much better than pasting stickers to illustrate those patterns. Green foilages In the Camouflaged Outpost, you get a whole wide array of green foliages that is great for building forest related stuff. There are a total of 11 green foliages and 2 small green pine trees acting as its backdrop. Treasure chest, at the side of the steed This is just a simple highlight of the treasure chest and the quite uncommon brown horse. Back in those days, there is not much gems and stuff like that. It is either treasure minted coins or yellow goblet. Forestmen, fall in Attention, the Forestmen of the Camouflaged Outpost in the Northern territories, have fall in to begin inspection. No longer are such large amounts of minifigs available at an affordable price in recent castle sets. These are generic minifigs solders, and yet so beautiful with their different torsos colors representing their levels of participation within the group. The torsos include black, blue, maroon collar pattern and a typical purse pattern printed onto those Forestmen. These minifigs are indeed true beauty. A closer look at the Forestmen plumes The different variations of plumes are from blue, yellow, black and red. Among them, the black version is considered quite hard to obtain. Within each plume circle structure, there are other plumes of different colors with different sizes as well, commonly known as medium or triple plums’ design. Overview of the Camouflaged Outpost Who could ever guess that this tree surrounded with rocks is actually a hidden outpost on its own? If you didn’t notice the red flag at the top, travelers might actually walk pass without noticing anything peculiar. This is not your typical scenery that you can imagine. Closer look at the forest tower Take a look at the forest tower, and observe the different portrayed angles. The tree is constructed by using mainly black bricks. I am not sure if it was supposed to represent as a building, but it’s still an excellent idea with a good combination of black and gray together. There are some window panels at the bottom, serving to watch out for incoming dangers at low areas, and a small tower at the top scouting for threats. Perhaps, it’s supposed to be an abandoned building instead of a tree, I supposed. Opening up the sides The Camouflaged Outpost can be opened and extended on a horizontal perspective, making it appear to be a much larger play set. You could easily expand the ground by adding more green baseplates, plants and trees to further conceal its presence. Hidden side entrance When you lift up the giant black boulder, it reveals an unexpected side entrance of the Forestmen lair. This is a great way to enter and exit freely without much obvious movements. Another hidden entrance, but this one is much grand The grand hidden entrance is actually a giant plate of rocks closely integrated together. Upon activation, it reveals the interior of this outpost where storage of weapons, treasure and horse are kept inside in this large area. With proper adjustment, you can keep a few Forestmen plus a horse inside without others knowing it. Look at the Forestmen coming in and out of their outpost with ease See how these Forestmen escort their treasure findings back into their Camouflaged Outpost. It’s just incredible with so much fun and excitement in it, to ensure it is able to reach safely with these well trained archers. The front entrance was lifted to show the interior actions, and it can be closed without much obstruction. The beautiful interior outpost filled with Forestmen Incredible playing set of all times I am very impressed with one of this legendary classic castle set, during the Forestmen era. It’s easily one of the best sets to get, if you are into such themes, where warring factions of the medieval times, it’s these fine heroes that will save the days of the poor villagers from brutal rulers in the highlands. Indeed, the Forestmen theme portrays much like Robin Hood and his men. To me, there is nothing significant which has failed badly, and in fact, this is the kind of castle sets which just make me feel happy like a child once more for someone whom have grown up with LEGO in the 1980s. That is the special feeling attachment for me. Summary review Playability: 9.5/10 (The opening up of the post, lifting the entrances are all of its fun playing factors.) Design: 9/10 (Highly detailed and simple design illustration of a wonderful camouflaged outpost.) Price: 9/10 (Back in those days, USD$23 is very affordable, now getting this set as MISB is extremely expensive.) Overall: 9.2/10 (Highly valued fun playing set with lots of nice minifigs to add along. One of the most enjoyable set ever.) I gave it a "5" based on my Review Score Card. What about yours? Hope everyone of you enjoyed reading this simple review of mine. Comments and Critics are strongly welcomed. Pictures can be found in My Brickshelf (When moderated)

Is Bulldog gone for good??? He was a nice chap and now he is gone. Is there no chance that we can save him? We need to find a safe place and sit down. By the way, where is Steve? Yes, I will come along. -

If you are intending to join Reviewers Academy, can you please type your posts in proper capital letters at the start of the sentences and make good use of commas and full stop. In the academy, writing is equally important as taking images. I will consider your request until you are able to demostrate better command of posting well. -
It seemed someone did notice. Just want to let you people know that, discussion is allowed, but refrain from posting images (deeplink) that is preliminary with a huge confidential stamp waving in front of you. Thanks!

Is this a title?? 'The____' I am curious.

Christian, could you kindly translate these set names in English please?

Quinn, I did consider for a moment, but I am not certain to what extend could it be proven paranoid. For Atrie's investigation, he had investigated me on Night 1 and found me loyal, and investigated Shawn on Night 2 and found him as a scum, which comes to this conclusion, before he could investigate any further, he was killed in Night 3... Wow, you actually managed to sway my thoughts for you, Shawn. Indeed, you are a potential threat, but the serial killer is even a greater threat. Voting you off, doesn't cause any death in night, but getting the serial killer out of the picture will lower the death rates for both sides, including the scums... Rose's interpretation towards Sai is interesting, and I will like to hear what she can add about him.

Review: 7754 Home One™ Mon Calamari Starcruiser™
WhiteFang replied to valentin's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Valentin, thanks for doing this incredible review, and looking at this especially the ending section is tempting me to get this set, and build up the strategy discussion scenes with the leaders and pilots. You have captured of the mood of this scene very well, and it will be even best, which I know you are capable of lining up the aircrafts in the hanger ready to take off and attack the Death Star. Excellent piece of work, and I am sure, our dear KimT and new Staff, Stash2sixx will come and index this for you. Meanwhile, I will add a little poll for this review. -
