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 and sets with definite theme-names: Dragon Masters, Black
Knights, Dark Forest, Royal Knights, Fright Knights, Knight's Kingdom.
Forcing the earlier configurations into the current (and cheesy) mold of
having a theme name is not possible, nor desirable. We should organize
LUGNET database sets EXACTLY as Lego did--call everything before the early
90's 'Legoland Castle,' regardless of which factions are represented.
Though some of the later incarnations which have theme-names resemble some
of the earlier factions from 'Legoland Castle,' such as Crusaders or Dark
Forest, it is too confusing and also inaccurate to try and lump them all
together. There never has been a Lego sub-theme called Black Falcons.
Although if Lego wants to bring them back, with new styles of helmets and
weapons, I won't complain.
