Ah this is so satisfying, I love your tavern talks I’m so glad it’s making a comeback. You always make the best lore dives and tiktoks with Castle. I’m glad I get to experience this 🍺

[@BrickingUpBrad]

I appreciate it!!

[@RandoMan07]

I never had experience with classic space or castle until the Galaxy Explorer and Lion Knighte Castle. I'm so glad those came out because I've fallen in love with everything classic space and while I didn't get the castle (way too expensive) I have a strong appreciation for classic castle now.

[@mattx5499]

Oh man. Forestmen from the 80's and 90's were my favourite. Their sets and figurines were amazing. I also liked Wolfpack. Basically the Knights sets from the era were beautiful.

[@BrickingUpBrad]

That era was epic! Absolutely loved it!

[@danielboyd1186]

Me too. I remember making a custom forest hideout and sending pictures into Lego. Lol

[@Ccorleone1609]

"Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin..."

[@RedDragonM1]

"Sir Robin ran away!" "NO!" "He bravely ran away, away!" "I didn't!!"

[@rumpelpumpel7687]

i only had two forestmen during my childhood. they came from a castle "battle pack". Some years ago though, i went full goblin mode and now my forestmen army could take over any castle or village xD

[@aspiewithattitude3213]

I had been getting into the old school "Forest men" sets from the late 80's lately, since I never had any, it feels good to now own two which is the camoflauge outpost and the tree outpost. As a kid, I only ended up owning the 1989 pirates while my playmate at the time owned the Forest Men sets since he was a massive fan of Robin Hood at the time.

[@asteralium]

This series is really fun. I discovered it just a couple days ago while looking up stuff for the new castle. I hope you cover fantasy era stuff at some point. That’s my favorite castle series

[@BrickingUpBrad]

My goal is to do every faction Lego has ever made! I will be doing videos about other stuff to that is castle related! Next tavern talk will be about black knights or lion knights

[@BonkProd]

Great video man! The forestmen are absolutely one of my favorite factions. You can find such a variety of figs into their ranks and they seem normal. I use some of the acorn elves from the series 22 and even some centaurs to display with them.

[@brickmonkeyapp]

forestmen make me nostalgic! great video

[@kriegerproductionsofficial]

Ahhhh, I always enjoy a bit of tavern talk over a pint of my favorite tea!

[@rawool9197]

Its finally out!

[@brickstarsofficial]

We need a revival of this theme!!

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Agreed! Even though we already started to get one!

[@Mxbuzz]

Thank you very much for your Brick Monarch Shop code “bricking10! 🙂 I really like your Tavern Talk! please keep on the good work!

[@BrickingUpBrad]

No problem hope you got some cool stuff!! Glad you enjoy the series

[@Mxbuzz]

@@BrickingUpBrad bought a Wolfpack T-Shirt 😀

[@thatScoutdog]

A most perfect video of them little green guys and I'm not talking about UFOs

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Ayy thanks!

[@joshinaround2897]

These vids are great to binge while building! Excellent info and production value!

[@BrickHQ]

Great video Pretty cool faction

[@Foxception]

I really hope you'll be covering some other factions! I'm just starting to get into castle as a theme (love the wolfpack with the forest men being a close second) and looking into it myself I get confused by all the names of the different factions so I find it hard to figure out who's who and what names are just the same factions with another name so I love your videos! Its really easy to understand and id love to see you do one of every faction one day!

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Look for the playlist tavern talk at the end of the video! I’ve done black falcons and Wolfpack! Planning on hitting every faction!

[@Foxception]

@@BrickingUpBrad I've seen your other two! I got into your series thanks to your video on the wolfpack! I'm so glad to hear that you'll be doing one on every faction!

[@Codoloco1]

Wicked, I just bought some shirts and the code still works! Awesome videos, Im so into lego castle right now

[@brickheadz2865]

Holy crap dude you went from 1000-2000 subscribers in less than a week

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Yeah it’s been an insane week😅

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

The Forestmen were originally named Robin Hood in Denmark. This, I believe, was due to the popularity of Disney's Robin Hood which was released on VHS in 1984. The name was probably changed to prevent any possible legal action. Unfortunately I don't have any of my Lego boxes and the Danish instructions doesn't have names on them, but I can't recall it ever being named anything else than Robin Hood, and I was in Legoland every year from 1986 to 1990.

[@ren_builds]

Another great episode. Now I need a Robin Hood to accompany my Forestmen.

[@MikeyJProductions]

Good video 👍👍

[@brickopotamus.]

Love how deep you go in these!! In those vintage minifig collections you mentioned, do the figures have any noticeable differences from the original versions?

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Nope they took the originals and brought them back they where just vintage packs bringing older figures back

[@timewarpdrive77]

They will have a different torso-leg attachment in the inside of the torso

[@axolo3657]

@@timewarpdrive77 and the space man has a different helmet than the original.

[@brickmachinesbelgium]

Nice vid !

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Thanks!

[@kidz4p509]

What bothers me the most is that the Lion Knights and the Forest Men are both heroic, yet they’re pitted against each other.

[@hakanstorsater5090]

It gets more interesting with a third rogue faction in the mix, arguably. The Forestmen seem to have the best relationship with ordinary civilians, though.

[@christophergiachetti1133]

i gotta know about the black falcons motives !!!

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Did a video on them but honestly have to re do it after the new castle! But it’s still pretty good deep dive into them!

[@Bonehead_Gaming2007]

Interesting

Will you do the nobel royal knights, the mystical dragon knights and the scary fright knights?

[@BrickingUpBrad]

My goal is every faction and theme. Just takes me a bit longer then I would like to do each one

[@RoninCatholic]

Forestmen are one of my favorites, and they came out the year I was born. Yet I didn't get a single Forestman or Dark Forestman without serious damage until 2017, through BrickOwl. I reject retroactively removing "man/men" as a suffix from factions and creatures that have it. Screw that, these are the Forestmen, and animal-people in high fantasy are Beastmen. The "man/men" part indicates that they are people, not that they are exclusively male; the full name for a male human is werman (like a werewolf, but the second half being human instead of wolf) and the female is wifman and thus woman. Politically correct language revision can go pound a kite and fly sand.

[@fuzzbuns84]

the thumbnail looks like it is implying the forestwoman transitioned into a forestman lmao

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Ok that is hilarious 😂 I didn’t even notice that! I just thought that she was a unique figure. And I just wanted to show older versus newer forest gaurdians😂

[@saoldanify]

Im still salty about the castle in the forest

[@TEAMSOMERSMGD]

Mmmmmmmm

[@jogarthehutt]

But unlike some other robin hood can be speak with an English acsent?

[@timewarpdrive77]

ugh... "forest guardians"? Lame. Anyone with at least 2 brain-cells to rub together should have figured the braindead reason lego made that change

Your channel has become my favorite. I love Lego Castle. Keep up the great work. Are you on instagram?
