This was one of my favorite Forestmen sets; it was the set that introduced me to the Forestmen line. Now that said, there are some problems with this set, where are the archery targets? And how camouflaged is a hideout in a tree with a red flag on top? Those were some of the things I originally didn't like about the set.
We have to remember that the 6054 came out that same year and it had the green vine and the archery target. The Outpost may have come first, but it was in need of those little "extras" that made 6054 great. 6054 Needed more figs...
Aside from that, I loved it; with a ton of figs it was very easy to increase your Forestmen to an army very quickly. The little hideout area was very well designed and the giant tree was a nice addition. This is the only castle "set" that I still have intact. One little thing though, the 6066 came with six figs, not five... Overall I'd give the set an 8/10 but because I have some nostalgia about this set, I am giving it a 9/10.

After a long absence, I have returned. I can't wait to start building again.
