6066 comes with a Black Forester's torso, actually. It's where I got mine.
It had Black, Red and Blue as I recall.

I wish I had more of 'em. :)

I don't know if they did or not, really. I just think it's silly.

Ick... that would suck. For a river, I use the Indian village sets from Wild
West, as well as the river bp's from the Islander's theme of Pirates. I have
a curvey (Or is that meandering??) stream since I have about 5 curved BP's
with water on them... :)

I'd always looked at 6077 but I never got it. Of the Forester's sets I have
6054, 6066 and 6071. While 6066 is my absolute favorite of these three, I
really like 6054 - it was the first set (that I know of) to have the
Forester's shields and it was the "treehouse" I never really had as a kid. :)
I've added an interior to 6054 and 6066 before and placed them on the
cobblestone baseplate from 6374 (They fit perfectly). Generally I preferred
to keep these two sets built and joined up in this fashion rather than
building seperate creations from them. :)
