Nicker Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 The return of the Black Falcons! This set looks so AWESOME! It has a really nice variety of unique minifigures and looks like a very nice elegant design. I can't wait to order this set!!! Quote
Si-MOCs Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Perhaps its a precursor to the next Kingdom faction? A return of new improved Black Falcons would certainly rate highly with me! Oh I definitely hope so! they look great! and I'm sure all the CC fans will go crazy for them. I just hope that they keep coming out with Dragon Knights (we needs our dark green!) - if I had to choose I'd keep the Dragon Knights over the Lions Thanks for sharing ISC! Quote
Tyrant Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 This is a very nice looking set and a very worthy successor to the MMV. I will be trying to get at least 2 of them, and no not because of the not-so-subtle suggestion that I do so in the blurb. It's great to see the Black Falcons get some love. With any luck, this is a sign of factions to come. If not, at least we have some updated shields and a barding piece for them now. I will say that I am surprised how the set turned out. I was not at all expecting the small castle that comes with it. I was expecting some stands and maybe a nice looking booth or two, so this is a real surprise. The princess looks great too. With the green color scheme maybe she can double as a member of the Dragon royalty, unless we get something more official. Quote
Nicker Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) Perhaps its a precursor to the next Kingdom faction? A return of new improved Black Falcons would certainly rate highly with me! Yes, in my opinion this definitely suggests the returning Black Falcons faction emerging in Kingdoms for next year that may or may not replace the Dragon Knights completely. This reminds me of when Lego would slowly introduce a new faction while phasing the previous ones out in the 80s and 90s. I really hope we see more sets with the Black Falcons and who knows maybe we will even see a remake of the much beloved Black Falcons Fortress in future sets. Edited October 1, 2011 by Nicker Quote
UsernameMDM Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 I'd love a return on the Black Falcons, but I do believe this is the Kingdoms' final set. I would love to be proven wrong though. Quote
conchology Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Great set The 6 room caste has very nice little details incorporated. Quote
legobodgers Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 This set is beautiful! I am not a castle collector but this one is definatly on my list. Well done TLG! Quote
hanzocloud Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 WOW a another quality set from LEGO.!! .. i am loving the eagle shield!!!! hopefully this means that they are introducing the eagle faction for 2012 !!!! hahawhaw.. Quote
UsernameMDM Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Add a few minifigs from the Town/City themes for an instant Renaissance festival! Quote
weltall1028 Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 This set looks amazing, will definitely be getting this after I purchase MMV. Quote
fred67 Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Definitely looks fantastic, and definitely looks like a double set in the first picture, which is somewhat depressing. Can't say it's misleading, as this isn't an official ad. Two things I noticed: I love the green dress. The red one is the same-old, same-old, but I don't recall that green one and it's quite nice. Second, did they make the ax wrong, or have I been doing it wrong all these years? Quote
lightningtiger Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Has anyone noticed something.....it's all brick-built NO panels....even the castle walls are all brick ! The furniture pieces use flowers plates and frogs in brown - very clever ! Quote
Rogue Angel Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 This set is beautiful! I am very happy to see a slight remodel of the falcon shield, and the black knight is superb. This set looks to be on par with the Medieval Marketplace, even though MM had such great new animals. A Must Buy for me! Quote
hanzocloud Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 I'd love a return on the Black Falcons, but I do believe this is the Kingdoms' final set. I would love to be proven wrong though. final set of the kingdom red soldiers whom are a red version of the crownies and loosely based on the original crusader lion knights.. BUT.... a new set for the new Falcon Kingdom.. and this set would be a great set to end the red kingdom knights and introduce the black falcon... although the green feather makes you think it still has ties with dragon knights,, but hopefully they swap it out for a black or white feather instead.. and hopefully the enemy faction to the Eagles would be a new type of forestmen.

Ceroknight Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 *This reply has been made by a non-castle/kingdom fan* Honestly, I am disappointed. When I first heard the rumour, I was pretty excited and was imagining some pretty epic stuff that would be in this set. I see this as a book that turned into a movie: it was ok, but not as good as you imagined. Price doesn't help to. Quote
vexorian Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 This is the first 120 USD set in a while that definitely seems worth every cent. And I am not even a kingdoms fan. Quote
Fives Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 This is the BEST Kingdoms set yet! The castle is just beautiful, as is everything else! The new Black Knight is fantastic, and it is nice to see a new faction. One question though: Is this out now? If it is, I would buy it right now! Quote
MCNwakeboard Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 I think the set looks great. I almost wish they had used the original black falcon logo as it looks like it has been "updated" but still a fantastic set. Quote
ZCerberus Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Overall, I am pleased with this set. However, it isn't as great a buy as MMV. I bought 3 or 4 MMVs since it was such a great set with great parts and I will likely only be picking up one of the joust. Quote
Kliq Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 Oh man, it is posts like this that make me want to break down and cry. It is just so wonderful when the Castle line gets a wonderfully huge set of great detail like this. I want to get four of these so I can make a complete circle (i.e. two of the first picture). I hope when the next Castle line concludes, it does so in a fashion like the MMV and this Joust, but maybe we're ready for a castle. ;] Quote
The Real Indiana Jones Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 I'm pretty sure that the first picture is actually what you can do if you combine two of the sets. If you look closely, the castle in the first picture is twice as thick as the castle in the rest of the pictures. It probably only comes with one of the blue stalls too... Compare the rest of the pics to the first one and you'll see what I mean. Yes, TheRitter is definitely correct. Good eye. The first picture shows what you can make if you combine two sets. That explains why we see four guards, and so much repetition in the side buildings... BUT STILL, $120 is a great price for 1575 pieces! Totally glad I just got the MMV now! =) Kudos to Lego Quote
The Penguin Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 The set is indeed outstanding, taking into account the price and bricks quantity. I also find it most plausible that they managed to find a good balance between civillian and militry minifigs. Jousting never really impressed me that much, but it would look good near the Castle, or even as a part of it. The fact they included those blue chambers is also most welcome, since it allows fans tio combine this set with MMV and have no problems with color schemes. Well done, TLC! Good day, ladies and gentlemen! ) Quote
giggitygoo Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 THIS SET IS TREMENDOUSLY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
tchuk-norst Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 That first picture is extremely misleading. But, now I might just buy two of these sets for that effect! I love this set already and plan on putting it with my MMV when it comes out! Quote
