Introduction

The western range is really two ranges in one. You have the older range which consists of the western town and accessories and basically featured good and bad cowboys; then you have the newer range which has soldiers and Indians battling it out. The older range was definitely very popular and is relatively easy to find whereas the newer range is much, much harder to come across, most of the Indian sets are extremely rare. I have learnt that this is because the Indian sets were not released in America as they were deemed to be not very politically correct. Fort Dakota was repackaged with two bandits instead of the Indians for the American Market and the other Indian sets simply weren't released there. All the western sets are really good fun but I must admit that I like the Indian ones best, but perhaps that's just because they are so rare. Below you will find a list of all the western sets that I have found - If you know of anything not listed please let me know (address is at the bottom of the page).
