Excluding the battle packs there is a disparity between the two factions. I am hopeful that the 2011 sets at least somewhat address this issue. Even a set like Outpost Attack or Prison Carriage Rescue with the ratio reversed would go a long way because it's easier to buy cheaper sets in great numbers. Having said that, I really want to see a large castle for them that continues the feel of their midsized fortress. We also need some mounted Dragon guys (and barding to go with them) and maybe a King and other members of the Royal Court. I guess I would basically want to see sets like the ones we have but with the factions reversed. If they do that, they need to keep the look of each faction and have at least a little innovation in their designs. In other words, don't just throw out a black Outpost or big black castle. I like the torso variety we have with these two factions and my only hope there is that we see the scaled armor dragon guy in cheaper sets.

Yes, I agree that the balance is always in favour of the good guys, I've noticed that, it's quite obvious, actually! I prefer the Dragon knights and they are always outnumbered! They never outnumber the good guys, even in the set that is supposed to be their base, their fortress - 7947 - there are 2 Dragon knights and 2 of the good guys (they even have a horse!).

Another example - set 7949 - you have 1 Dragon Knight and 2 of the good guys! Why not add a Dragon Knight horseman?

I don't know if LEGO will try to balance this, as we don't know whether there will be more Castle sets in 2011, there are no such news for now, sadly.

Yeah my biggest complaint is the utter lack of Dragon Knight cavalry, of course you can get spare horses off bricklink, but I'd love to see a dark green saddle piece, along with some Dragon Knights themed horse barding.

I completely agree, I have quite a few heavily armed dragon knights riding horses equipped with the metal headpiece, with plain saddles which make the cavalry (at the moment) look rather out of proportion and funny (certainly not intimidating)

It certainly is strange that out of all of the new themes we didn't get even a hint of a new kingdoms release for 2011.
