Today's present comes from Christmas 1988. We'll probably revisit that year several times thanks to the magic of home video and the non-magic of my memory. This Lego set is known as the Forestman Hideout.
The earliest lego toys I had were mostly castles and some more modern stuff. Around this time, Lego added some new sets. It's a contest whether the Robin Hood stuff was as cool as the pirate stuff, but I think the pirates were cooler if only because they had a shark AND a pirate with a peg-leg, hook, and patch on it's eye.
Still, the Forestmen series had some cool stuff. This came with a couple archers and who presumably take their stolen gold here. They obviously practice on that target. I know it doesn't seem like much, but I thought that target was pretty neat. The small site has branches that disguises the place and vines that still look silly to me after all these years.
I later got a Forestmen set that had a secret entrance. That was awesome and if I could remember getting it on a Christmas I would have showed that one off instead of this one, but this is still cool. It's definitely a good start to this month's reminiscing.
