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 BF(except a minifig pack and 6059 Knights Stronghold). I
think the listing is confusing, I don't think Lego releases 6018 as a
subtheme. So the listing in LUGNET must be wrong, lets remake it and split
crusaders, classic castle and BF apart.
