Description

LEGO Castle Dark Forest Fortress (6079) Set AFA 80+ ** Only Graded Example ** (LEGO, 1996). Released in 1996 as the flagship set of LEGO's Dark Forest subtheme, the Dark Forest Fortress stands as the largest and most fully realized expression of the faction, a woodland stronghold built around a concealed hideout concept that reflects the outlaw, Robin Hood-inspired identity of the line. Comprising 440 pieces and seven minifigures, the set features a fortified tree-based structure integrated into a hill, with hidden compartments, defensive elements, and a layered build that emphasizes ambush and concealment. As the largest of the three Dark Forest sets, it anchors the subtheme's brief but distinctive run within the broader Castle line of the mid-1990s. Graded AFA 80+ NM, this example stands as the only graded example recorded on the population report. A top-tier entry from one of LEGO Castle's more unconventional factions, the Dark Forest Fortress offers a complete and singular opportunity to secure the defining set of the subtheme in graded form.
