I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm ready for the bull faction to go

faction.  At the very least, I hope we see a nice, coherent, 'classic' • fortress
design soon, and perhaps some 'unmilitarized' medieval designs, too.

Anyone else?

If you read closely, the home of the Bulls is "the Dark Forest".  So perhaps
they have set up an eventual return of Forestmen.  The Robin Hood theme seems
too much the natural to abandon completely.  If not 2001, then it would seem
likely in 2002.

I expect a third faction to be introduced, with some continuation of the
previous two, along with a minifig pack that may represent all three (but note
that the Red Ninjas didn't make it into the minifig pack for the Ninja line).
I'd love to see an expansion into non-military, but I doubt it.

Bruce

My first take on the Bulls was that they were wandering barbarians, but all of
that siege equipment leads one to believe that they have a homebase
*somewhere.*  That the Dark Forest is mentioned as that somewhere is very
promising, and very interesting too in that the tunics are stylistically
similar to the Dark Forestmens', especially the one with the studded leather
and green collar, which I've thrown in with my Dark Forestmen.  Don't know why
forestmen would have a bull as their symbol, though.

(...) How about because they are villainously razing the dark forest to make room for cattle ranching? O wait, that's the Amazon rain forest -- I get mixed up...! -- Richard (24 years ago, 13-Jun-00, to lugnet.castle)
