Just another word on the subject,you can also of course see it as the TLC
repeating way. I mean take for example LEGO City, how many Airports,
Hospitals, Fire Departments, Police... they made during the last 20 years.
But of course a kid who played in 1984 with his Airport, when LEGO produced
the 1994 Airport he was no longer a kid and there were other kids to enjoy
it the same way he did (LEGO basiclly is made for kids and not collectors
after all). As for castle just count the number of Catapults or Chariots you
have.
In the same way of looking at it, LEGO Castle have three major themes that's
keep on recycling itself (I wouldn't say evolve because you'll see examples
of exactly the opposite):
Castles/Knights/Kings...(can be refered also as Good Guys?):
1984 - Crusders
1984 - Black Falcons
1988 - Black Knights
1995 - Royal Knights
2000 - Knight Kingdom
The basic of their structure is more or less the same. Prehaps it's hard to
look at the Black Knights as good because their Dark Black Castle #6085 but
basiclly it's structure is almost the same as #6080 a part from the color of
course. I guess the Yellow Castle can also fit in this catagory.
Trees and Caves/Peasants/Thieves...(can be refered also as Neutral Guys?):
1984 - Few minifigs like #6010
1988 - Robin Hood and the forestmens
1992 - Wolfpack
1996 - Forest people
I don't think I need to explain that part
Dragons/Magics...(can be refered also as Bad Guys):
1993 - Dragon Masters
1997 - Fright Knights
2000 - Bull Knights
OK, to start comparing between Dragon Masters & Fright Knights it's pretty
easy. Everyone can see the connection between them. Using Dragons & Bats,
Witches and Wizards, unique wired looking structures, basiclly the same.
I'll have to add the Bull Knights into that catagory because there is a sure
connection with the previous, but they never had even a single structure
(something I always wondered), only war machines...
