Wish I could afford all 6 sets…

Hmmm classic dodgy figure proportions…

That, and the buildings don't have all their walls.

…and there had to be a cannon too. Cause, you know they were so common back then.

Still bet my boy will love it!

Also, not the best. They're not reprinting Fort Legorado:

Looks like shoulder-fired weapons were also common. :-) Lego makes GW look inexpensive.

Though it does look familiar:

And I'm going to be evil. The older sets can still be found on BrickLink: link

My guess is that the cannon and shoulder fired weapons are from the movie. That makes them cinematically, if not historically accurate. *grin/

I bet you could have plenty of fun playing simple games with these sets and some youngsters even with shoulder fired weapons and artillery. Seems like Lego Pirate games were a hit at conventions a few years back….why not Westerns?

My guess is that the cannon and shoulder fired weapons are from the movie.

The "shoulder fired weapons" are LEGO versions of long arms. So: Winchesters.

Given the popularity of Lego sets and the subsequent video games etc. I wonder who pays licensing fees to whom.

Maybe I should be using these figures for my town of Calamity!

Shouldn't the artillerist have *red* piping?

I love the spirited pose of the horses!

LEGO horses have come a looooong way.

I can see the research on the Potawatomi was top shelf.
