I found this nearly complete Robin Hood playset by Marx at a flea market. A few of the accesories were missing, as well as the instructions and the paper bags. I had this when I was a kid and remember throwing it in the garbage when I was about 13. The box has cool graphics as well.

This is so cool stepback !
I got one for Christmas when I was seven. My favorite toy for years. Gave it to my younger cousin when I was a teen. He trashed it.
