I looked under the Lugnet database for Black Falcons, but I only
came up to one result, that being the black falcon's fortress. Can anyone
tell me what's up with this? Don't sets like King's Castle and Catapult
also fit under this theme, if they indeed, contain black falcon figures, and
their signature designs?
Hmm...this has just been another question that always
seems to go unanswered. Who exactly got the idea to include
crusader, Black Falcon sets, etc, in classic? A bit confusing...
All the same, I think a more "to the point" organization is
needed for these themes, regardless of what the original
packing was. (no, I'm not saying to include a wolfpack set in
with dark forest, if it includes a robber, but what I'm saying
here is to get a more punctual organization. I don't exactly
mean to be a bother to this, but this seems like a good idea...)
Anyway, IMO, I would like to hear what anyone else has to
say on this issue.
Just my two brickz...
