This is a large set with quite a low pieces count. The prices appears to be a bit high compared to the piece count, though everything you need of the indian theme is in this set. Everything.

Parts

That's a big pro for this set, there were very few indian sets, which means indian accessories are rare and this set has a lot of them. it comes with 3 baseplates, including a large printed one, it has teepees and hollow trees which are very rare, a canoe, tons of mountain panel (not sure any other set has more), a few large slopes, very rare horses, many bushes...

Minifigures

Another big pro, it comes with quite a decent number of minifigs, and they were very good for 1997. They have printed legs, and the chief with his printed headpiece could still compare to what lego makes today. The faces are also more detailled than what you were used to see in those days.

The build

This is not a hard one, there is lots of bigs pieces. It has many traps so it's quite fun.

The completed model

This isn't the most impressive model, but it's ok. it's rather large. If you compare it to modern sets, it is big for a 350 pieces model. modern sets of 300 pieces appear to be 2 to 3 times smaller. You really get the whole indian experience with this set, it feels really complete without having to buy any other indian set, which, on the other end, may feel more like expansions to this set.

This set is my second favourite set of the LEGO Western theme. We get 7 minifigs. One of them is the indian chief, one medicine man, two red indians, two tan indians and an indian female. I really enjoyed to build that model and I enjoy to play with it. It comes with two tepees which are made out of some kind of cloth material which is really cool. It has two campfires and I love the baseplate which has a river on it. It's a basic LEGO curve plate which we've seen in the old LEGO Town theme a lot. I also like the printed horses and the canoe and the log pieces where you can hide some weapons or some minifigs.

We also get an outpost and the bigger 'mountain' has some very cool play features. We get a ladder, a secret entrance to the cave, two trap doors and a feature where you can move the leaf to drop the logs to your enemies. It also comes with a cool looking totem. I really can't complain about this set and you won't have to complain about stickers as well.

All in all this set is a great set and I would HIGHLY recommend you to get this. You can find this set on eBay, BrickLink and Amazon for sure. Here is the link where you can check out the full gallery I made for this set on my website: http://www.klokriecher.de

Review

this is one of the coolest sets ever

pros
cool weapons
canoe
mini figures
teepees
enough pieces to build your own(basically you can build what you want)
horses

cons none

even if your not a fan of this theme you should still get it, and it doesnt need any other sets to make it work

This is such an aaawwsooomeee set. It has 2 tepees, a lookout tower, and of course the cliff/waterfall. If you have the Fort Legoredo set you can have a big battle. There are some very cool functions in this set.

Cons:7 minifigs
2 horses with the warpaint on them and special color saddles
Tons of accesories(bow/arrows, spears, axes, quivers, shields)
A canoe.
2 tepees.
Logs roll down when you pull away the green plant piece on the cliff.
Secret door that leads to the back of the village
Snakes... why does it have to be snakes?(pun alert!)

Cons: The 2 types of indian braves both have the same heads for each of them.

Other than that minor flaw, this set is awsome. Get it if you really like the western sets or have the Fort Legoredo for a huge battle.

This set and theme is fantastic. Words can't describe how cool this theme is.

Good:
Canoe trap
tiny waterfall
Totem Pole
Nice use of canvas to make the tents
Canoe
All of the Indian minifigs

Bad:
Nothing

Overall:
5/5
OR
10/10
