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" Lego Castle.  The others ARE old and great, but seem
better grouped with sets like the Forestmen, and definetly with the
"Crusaders" as specified in Cary's FAQ:

It seems that these newer style (compared to the Yellow Castle) sets (anyone
with pre-fab castle walls and horses), would be more logically grouped into
"Black Falcons" and "Crusaders" (or even "King's Men").

I know that this hardly even qualifies as a minor issue, but it has been
something that didn't make much sense to me, ever since I found LUGNET and
the online lego community (about 2 1/2 years ago).  I look forward to
hearing your opinions.

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 Crusaders and Black Falcons, though.
