I really like the Robin Hood sets. They had some really cool things going on, like trap doors, back in the 90s. They need to bring back pirates, castles, and space.
got to be honest here, i actually love the details on those indian sets also i got some of those to, and back in the day what struck me was the detail on the shields...i loved that.
I purchased the entire collection for my kids when they originally came out in the 90s and we played like heck with them for years. Sadly, they were sold during our dark age. Since I've been back in the game in the past few years, I've been slowly re-acquiring them but it's costing about 10 times more than it did back in the day. LOL Nonetheless, they are THE best Lego Sets- Ever. Thanks so much for showing these off!!!
25:57 Yup, Wild West was prominently shown in the LEGO Chess game but was also featured in Soccer Mania / Football Mania as a team. The sets were in the background and a few cutscenes. Both Cowboys, Bandits and Native Americans were used in Soccer Mania as players. And the Western music in that game was sooo good! Also Western was featured in LEGOLand the park simulator game. Some CGI cutscenes akin to Chess were made and attractions were loosely based on the sets, like Spinning Barrels looked similar to Fort Legoredo.
The black wagon from Gold City Junction is based off a very famous western called The War Wagon. It had both John Wayne and Kirk Douglas in it. My Dad had the gumption to recognise it and somehow found the VHS, which I would watch on repeat in the background while playing with the western sets. If I remember correctly the wagon also had the 'dynamite blows out safe' feature from the film, and it famously has a tripwire scene which i made good use of the one from Bandits Hideout to replicate :D
I was born in 02’ and got into Lego with the Sandcrawler in 05’ followed by imperial star destroyer, walking atat, etc. my older brothers were gifted Lego when they were young (early 90’s). However they did not like Lego the way I did and I was given all there pieces to play with when I was quite young. They had Lego western, adventure, sports, and res-q… I remember the pieces from those sets as some of my earliest memories; the chrome horn, blue hats from western figs, achu minifig, the building plates… so nostalgic, but above all else that 1x2 dynamite piece is my favourite and your reaction in the video was spot on lol. I recently started sorting all my Lego by color, and came across some of my favourite pieces and mini figs from so long ago, brought up some great memories. Good job on the video! I too agree that this theme was very great.
As amazing as these sets are. They are the second best theme to me. The FIRST best theme in my eyes is the LEGO Johnny thunder adventure sets. They’re incredible.
I really wish Lego would re-release these with updated flair and added elements. This was my brothers set back in the day and is still together. When I visit my parents, every so often I will go down into the basement and pull it out of the box. Really cool set.
I've been a diehard Western fan ever since I was a kid and I remember when these sets were new but sadly didn't have any of them. A few years ago, I tried to get Fort Legoredo on Ebay and ended up getting bid sniped. This line and Johnny Thunder were always my favorite.
17:49 I have that set, my parents kept it new in the box and forgot about it for years, then they found it and gave it to me. I kinda regret opening it up though
So many great memories! I love these sets and I nearly collected them all. Just Gold City Junction and the Gold Mine are missing in my collection. Btw I also imagined the Cowboy with the white hat to be the deputy. Sheriff Silver and Deputy Danny were my names for them 💥👍
This video hit me right in the childhood. I used to own the bandits secret mine hideout and the sherrifs office. And a buddy in school had most of the other sets. When we hung out together we'd sometimes take our sets with us and make a big wild west town. Then we just played with it all day. Good times.
I have the Fort set with the box. My mom bought it at a garage sale back around the year 2000. I also had the Native American set with the 1 teepee. Brings back nostalgia from my childhood. Glad I kept them and in the box. A lot of my other Lego sets I did not save the boxes for and got mixed up with all my other Lego pieces.
Lego should give these sets a remake. I mean like, they did it with the star wars line recently, and if the star wars line can get a nostalgic remake, i see no reason why the western sets can't. Unfortunately I'm not old enough to have had these as some of my sets, but i can certainly see why the fort "leg-er-a-do" (because that is totally how you say it. Lol) would be your favorite set. I never had it and even i can see it's an excellent set.
I have the Fort set, also the bank and general store, the sheriff’s lockup and the robbers hide out. I have them all set up and also took the 9V train set 4559 and converted the engine to a western steam engine and have the Wild West train going around the city. Also have two of the Native American sets with one teepee.
13:21 Kevin.....Gold City Junction also has a dynamite explosion feature, on the side of the bank with the bench like you mentioned. As a kid I only owned one Western set, the Legends re-release of Sheriff's Lock-Up, and it was endless fun making the jail explode. So glad I have most of it rebuilt, I have to go back and complete the other sets I got roughly incomplete.
35:11 While that is true for many modern themes, classic LEGO themes had factions that could act as their own thing or combine for conflict. In Classic Space, M-Tron, Blacktron and Space Police was sold as separate sets with little overlaps like Space Police and Blacktron, to show who are the good guys and who are the bad guys. M-Tron in the catalogs was a militaristic group I believe? I'm sure there's a magazine out there from the time of the Native Americans to show their connection with Cowboys and Bandits. LEGO Chess did a good integration of them, the bandits escaped from Gold City Junction, through the Native American village, into Fort Legoredo.
I miss those Lego sets wish I still had mineI only got one set of that whole collection there was one of the sets with the t p in it I mean Leary released some of the Star wars ones the death Star the millennium falcon never got any of those sets but I'm happy with what I have now maybe they'll release them again who knows
I was in my dark age when these came out, but they looked so great so I ended up buying all the native American sets a couple of year ago. There is actually one set missing from the line-up; 6748: Boulder Cliff Canyon! The soldiers and cowboy sets are also great looking, but I have always been a bigger fan of native Americans and I think it was wise of Lego to not include soldiers or cowboys in the second wave. Lego also made a buffalo mould, but unfortunately they never made it to the sets :(
every single one of those sets could just be copied to the detail and be rereleased, they still would look modern enough and they sure as hell would sell. Heck, i am for sure buying the fortress and probably the wagon set.
I really liked thouse sets! I had the bank robberie and the huge nativie american set. I think it was fun to play with becous you could do so menny storylines. Cowboys vs Indians, Indian vs Indians, Cowboy vs Cowboy and aliences between them both. It was all fun, I didt see the native americans per see as enemies,It was all in the context, but the bankrobbers was allways the bad guys.
I suspect the reason there is no conflict between Native Americans and other was to be rather safe and apolitical, espetially regarding US market. And i think it can be seen as a good thing. As said in the video "those are not enemies".
We'll never get sets like these again. Lego won't bother making lines anymore if they can't shoe horn in a giant motorcycle, a helicopter, and or a mech suit. Very tired of current year Lego antics.
I want them to bring it back in a way. They could call it like just "The Wild West" or like "Lego the Wild Wild West"! It would be so awesome!!!
all we get is minions :(
Or read dead redemption 😏
Im really hoping Lego brings back the Western and native American themes, so awesome😎
Just the original themes in general. Nowadays it's lego city and licensed stuff...
Somebody from Lego has to be reading these comments.
You're missing one big set - 6748, Boulder Cliff Canyon!
LEGO please bring this theme back. Thank you and goodnight.
I really like the Robin Hood sets. They had some really cool things going on, like trap doors, back in the 90s. They need to bring back pirates, castles, and space.
Couldn't agree more...
"who wants to just fight snakes" Ninjago wants to know your location.
90's sets are just gorgous
This isn’t Power Miners... *nervous laugh*
But seriously, they really do need to bring back more like this.
God power miners was amazing
Loved Wild West. I was very fortunate to have every set from the theme. Really wish they did a Saloon Shootout and a Train Robbery set
I’m lucky enough to have every one of these sets from the original run. My dad collected them in the 90s.
got to be honest here, i actually love the details on those indian sets
also i got some of those to, and back in the day what struck me was the detail on the shields...i loved that.
Great vid chaps - really good to see some historic LEGO and your favourite sets! Nice one Kevin and Joshua
As a AFOL who lives in the middle of the Old West...I would cherish these sets so much. Western should be brought back ASAP!!!
I purchased the entire collection for my kids when they originally came out in the 90s and we played like heck with them for years. Sadly, they were sold during our dark age.

I love how the edges of the weapons wagon became even more fancy and fashionable as they aged :D Like there would be a gypsy fortune teller inside :D
Thanx for the travel back to childhood !! That was 41 mins of me totally nerding out like I was a kid again ... so so cool
35:40 _"Snakes, why did it have to be snakes?"_
Lol
As amazing as these sets are. They are the second best theme to me. The FIRST best theme in my eyes is the LEGO Johnny thunder adventure sets. They’re incredible.
I had Fort Legoredo and I am glad that as a kid Lego came up with their own themes versus now going with all the licensed themes of today.
I know! I really wish Lego would bring back out the Johnny thunder stuff. The Indiana Jones stuff is cool but the early set just had more charm.
A lot of passion in this video. :)
I really wish Lego would re-release these with updated flair and added elements. This was my brothers set back in the day and is still together. When I visit my parents, every so often I will go down into the basement and pull it out of the box. Really cool set.
I remember getting fort legoredo for Christmas. One of the most fun lego sets ever.

Really miss some the of the old classic themes.... my favourite was always classic castle, fingers crossed they will bring it back one day!! :)

Its also my favorite lego set, i also love those union soldiers aswell
that was my favorite lego set interview 😂
I had the bank, the Sherriff lock up and the hideout.
i wanted that fort sooo badd

So many memories with these sets. But I never had the fort, the bank and the Indian village. When I saw them in store they made me dream.
That reminds me of this LEGO Stop Motion by Doug Vandegrift, America: Outlawed.
I miss a lot of Lego themes today that they had in the past. Would love for Lego to make more themes
I love the passion you guys have for these awesome sets!
Wow that’s cool! This makes me can’t wait for Bricks Cascade!
I‘m not from that time where those sets were sold but I actually had a lot of them and I loved them to bits!
Wild West , Jungle adventure , Castle , bring them back Lego !
I would absolutely purchase a Little Bighorn Lego playset. I would alternate between narratives, the Lego play way.
Awesome
I had this set when I was 10. Such good memories playing with this Lego set
Poor Josh robbed of the exploding jail play feature
Oh dear god those are some the best sets ever made
Wild west, pirates, and castle are the top 3 themes
I have the Fort set, also the bank and general store, the sheriff’s lockup and the robbers hide out.
I have them all set up and also took the 9V train set 4559 and converted the engine to a western steam engine and have the Wild West train going around the city. Also have two of the Native American sets with one teepee.
I also have the weapons wagon with the cloth top and the teepee is cloth
People always gloss over the fact that Flatfoot Thomsen also had a nose.

My favourite is fort legore... legora... legor-... legoredo

Also love your content. Keep up the good work!
Pressed fast af hoping to be another great vid
Awesome!
Also, best sets EVER!!!
5:50 horn guy. fix his left hand orientation. (lol)
Great video and great sets!
The Greatest Review for a Great LEGO Theme of All Time!
I am so mad that they are still not bringing this teme back :(
Great video mr hinkle and joshua hope you have a great day. Love the interview.
I completely agree with the video title
Wouldnt mind some western revival. I personally missed out on the lone ranger sets. That probably has been the closest thing
Half the time you guys legit sound like you're being sarcastic, but these sets really were iconic.
This is like pirates and islander's
I miss those Lego sets wish I still had mineI only got one set of that whole collection there was one of the sets with the t p in it I mean Leary released some of the Star wars ones the death Star the millennium falcon never got any of those sets but I'm happy with what I have now maybe they'll release them again who knows
I totally love the Wild West!

I have gold city junction and another small set
great video
*sees display*
"Are we touching the face of God?"
I got a number of those through the shop of a local fuel station
I had some of these sets lol
Bring back Lego Adventurers
I love the Wild West sets
im so sad that i wasnt born to be available to buy all of those :C
I love western
every single one of those sets could just be copied to the detail and be rereleased, they still would look modern enough and they sure as hell would sell. Heck, i am for sure buying the fortress and probably the wagon set.
Western and early Pirates are the best themes.
Lego has to make more wild west stuff
I really liked thouse sets! I had the bank robberie and the huge nativie american set. I think it was fun to play with becous you could do so menny storylines. Cowboys vs Indians, Indian vs Indians, Cowboy vs Cowboy and aliences between them both. It was all fun, I didt see the native americans per see as enemies,It was all in the context, but the bankrobbers was allways the bad guys.
My childhood
Pirate theme is better then space is better yet
guys what are the diffrences between „wild west“ and „western“ series?
thx
The Good the Bad and the Ugly vibes
Where’s boulder cliff canyon?
No video with the pirates back there? :'(
How can we get another wave of vintage castle or pirates or western ?
Like when the pirate theme released the islanders subtheme. Why?
I wanted to buy the Saloon set from Brinklink, but I heard the set has issues...
Just gonna say it. I know King leo, Rudo Villano and Johnny Thunder are somewhere in this video
S T A R. W A R S
I love my Wild West sets, but Adventurers is tied with Wild West.
39:38 look at this duuuuude
Poor Joshua, didn’t get to use the worlds best LEGO play feature 😢
Imagine this being liked by Beyond the Brick
I see wut u're tryin' to do there my friend!
I suspect the reason there is no conflict between Native Americans and other was to be rather safe and apolitical, espetially regarding US market. And i think it can be seen as a good thing. As said in the video "those are not enemies".
Wierd, it's a video about the greatest LEGO theme yet I don't see Bionicle anywhere.
Think you meant 'bank robbery in progress'? Not in 'process'...
We'll never get sets like these again. Lego won't bother making lines anymore if they can't shoe horn in a giant motorcycle, a helicopter, and or a mech suit. Very tired of current year Lego antics.
I can hear the Lego Chess track just by looking at this set ;u;
