dang, that's super-random. never a "western" fan here, tho
dang, that is super nostalgic. Hours of fun became great memories with this set along with other Indian sets. Those snakes blew our minds, tho!
Dang, I really loved the decorated horses in this theme. Dang.
Dang, Lego really didn't know what they were doing with face prints anymore at this point and for a good number of years after. I still think Alpha Team takes the cake for worst face prints (https://brickset.com/sets/4742-1/Chill-Speeder) but this is a dang close second.
Dang, this set strikes me as a dang re-skin of 6024 Bandit Ambush.
Dang, this was during my dark ages, but I like it. And dang, I've never seen that tree stump piece before.
Also, dang, what is that grey parrot doing in this set?
Dang I love those dangnabbit tree stumps! Rom-a-long-a-ding-dong
Dang, I liked Western for giving us some cool dang new pieces and animals, like the snakes and the dang tree stump piece.
Dang, I wish I knew why people are writing dang so much in these dang comments.
Ding Dong.
dang, those faces are like something out of the Clone Wars subtheme. eyes should not be longer than mouths like that
Dang, now I'll have to explain to my wife why I nearly spit my breakfast all over my phone...
What going on with the DANG?
In 1997 I was right in the middle of my dark ages. I regret not getting any of these marvelous sets. Luckily I found couple of used ones later on. Oh, and by the way, dang!
C-C-Combobreaker!
Dang! I remember being a 10 year old looking at the new catalogue, seeing the western theme and thinking to myself FINALLY!
Dang, Lego, please make us some tree stumps and some painted horses for our carousels.
Dang I miss western... let’s get another rerelease of fort legorado and a new pile of cowboys and native Americans!
Dang, I wish I had one of those hollow tree stumps. I would probably never use it for anything, but I just want one for the dang novelty of it all! Sure, I could BrickLink it, and it wouldn't be quite as good in reddish brown, but dang LEGO, can we get that back just so we know you didn't destroy the dang mold?
Dang, Western is so underrated.
Dang, @Nick, singling out alpha team with the Basketball generic players and 2002-2003 racer drivers looking just as nutty? Dang!
Dang! I wasn't into the Western theme at the time, but I've started collecting since I left my Dark Ages. I really wish it would make a comeback.
Things I did not notice before now; that horse has the same unconventional eye style as its rider. I guess that was done so that it matched the Natives that it shared sets with, but... it still strikes me as odd.
Dang (*jinx)
I love those horses.
D id not get this set.
A nd definitely wanted it at the time.
N everthless I have to agree.
G ot to admire those horses.
