sign that the future holds reissues of other desirable old castle equipment,
like black swords and Yellow Castle visors?

What's a pike?

A pike is nothing more than a really long spear, that needs both hands to
use.  About 15-20 feet long, sometimes longer.  Lego doesn't make a pike,
per se - we had a lengthy discussion about making one a while back here (see
the sawed-off halbard I used on my triceratops-howdah a few messages
previous to yours, for example).

I don't have a King Leo's Castle (and won't unless I see it in the sub $40
range) but I imagine he's refering to the old style non-fancy halbard (or
two handed battle-axe, medieval weapon names not being the most precise of
things).  I love to have different color weapons and armor to help units
have a different look and have been buying a few of these at auction/sales.
