To anyone that might know, Why are sets like BFF and Kings Castle grouped with the Yellow Castle, Knights Procession, and Tournament, and called "Classic"? While I agree that they are all great sets, IMO only the latter three qualify as "Classic" (...) (23 years ago, 10-May-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I suspect they're classified that way because they aren't released under a specific subtheme, like some of the later sets, they are just under the general "Legoland Castle" group. I agree that some of them would thematically fit under (...) (23 years ago, 10-May-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Lugnet categorizes based on the official subthemes. Since the Yellow Castle, King's Castle, Knight's Castle, and other early sets have no official subtheme, they fall under "classic." (...) See above. (...) Again, when the database was (...) (23 years ago, 10-May-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) If you look deeper into it you actually find a LUGNET category named Black Falcons including just one set, the 6018 Battle Dragon released in 1990. I looked through the BrickShelf scan library from 1990 and this 6018 was the only model with a (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-02, to lugnet.castle)

(...) You raise a very interesting point.

I don't think the Black Falcons and crusaders really fit in "classic" castle, despite how they may have been classified by lego. But there may be complications when it comes to classifying sets which have two factions represented quite equally, such (...) (23 years ago, 13-May-02, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.admin.database)

(...) It's clear that Lego no longer organizes Castle system sets the way it used to. Since the early 90's, rather than having various castle sets under the broad category of 'Legoland Castle,' Lego began to emphasize the different types of factions (...)

I do not believe that Lego ever had an organized database of sets. Otherwise, why would we ever see multiple different sets released with the same number?
