About Dark Forest Fortress

Dark Forest Fortress (6079-1) is a LEGO Castle set released in 1996, currently averaging $543.90 used on BrickLink. It comes with 7 minifigures worth a combined $192.82. The set has retired from retail, so secondary market is the only option. The full parts inventory runs 160 pieces.

Part-out value

The minifigures account for about 35% of the set's value ($192.82 out of $543.90). The remaining value is in the parts and the set as a complete package. Selling complete will likely net more than parting out unless you have specific demand for the individual figures.

Seller notes

Sealed copies sell for $1003.75 vs $543.90 used — a 85% premium. If you have this set new in sealed box (NISB), price it accordingly.
Dark Forest - Forestman 2 ($78.52) is the most valuable minifig in this set. If you're buying this set secondhand, check that this figure is included — it's often the first one pulled by sellers who part out.
This is a vintage set (1996). Condition of the box and instructions significantly affects value. A complete set with original box and instructions can sell for well above the average.
7 minifigures at $192.82 combined value. That's a solid minifig haul — consider listing the figures individually on BrickLink where per-figure prices tend to be highest.
