Today’s Daily Create encouraged others to share stories or pictures of their favorite toys/playthings when they were small children. As a kid in the 80’s, we had really lame Legos. There were few, if any, Lego figures included with the sets. In 1986, I received the most amazing Lego castle, (called Knight’s Castle) with a drawbridge that opened and closed, a prison cell, and towers. I had a few knights and soldiers included. I spent so many hours playing with it. Since there weren’t a lot of Lego figures I would use other small figurines to add to the stories I would imagine. The next year my sister received the above Lego set: 6066 Camouflaged Outpost. We were in awe of this set that featured Robin Hood and his Merry Men-there was a boulder that hid a secret entrance…can you say more? The lookout tree and treasure chests were amazing to us. The sad thing is, I don’t know where it went. This set was so beloved and somehow got lost in the shuffle…wish I could find it again. Ok, so it is on Bricklink for $56+. Maybe I’ll get it for my sister’s birthday…but in reality, it’s just the memories that have the value.
I was searching for a video on YouTube for this set and I wasn’t disappointed. I decided to make a small GIF to give my audience a great view of the set. I added the title, Deluxe Lego Set from the 80’s so perhaps people would understand that at the time, this set was awesome. I suppose it is hard to compare to my daughter’s 2017 Lego Millennium Falcon though…
