Lego Wild West (or Western) is a Lego theme based on the Old West period of the United States.

Various minifigures were introduced, including wranglers, sheriffs, US Cavalry, bandits and Indians. The Wild West sets were also the first to include revolvers and rifles, which were later used in the Adventurers sets. These sets also marked the first instance where the perpetual smile on the minifig heads was replaced with various other facial expressions. The Wild West sets were introduced in the late summer of 1996. It was released August 1996 in Europe and September 1996 in North America. The Indians sets came out in 1997. After that, the Wild West sets were discontinued. In late 2001, three Wild West sets (Sheriff's Lock-up, Fort Legoredo, and Rapid River Village) were rereleased. A year later in 2002, the sets discontinued.

gollark: Of course not. They will give you 32G messy thunders.

gollark: I should probably just put up more eggs or something. Hopefully that will get me trades I actually want.

gollark: It's not as if two mimic pygmy eggs even look like a silver.

gollark: I assume they think "well, they don't *ask* for this, and it's not *worth* what they have, but maybe they don't know that despite clearly being trade-savvy or good at hunting enough to get slightly rare things".

gollark: But ask for anything remotely rare - or *have* something rareish - and boom, unrelated offers.
