Yeah you're right a bull castle would be well worth a look, especially as all the official lego castles are basically the same (grey walls, grey towers, grey gate) and a castle in the style of the troll's mountain fortress (mostly brown bricks) would really make a change.Elbadar wrote:But if the bulls came back it would most likely be with crownie style buildings and bull style figs, weapons, and a large siege weapon count. I think that almost everyone loved KK1 style figures, and I for one would love KK1battlepacks. I also like siege weapons and would like to see some more. Most of all I would like to see an actual Bull castle. My reasoning would mean they would have some sort of wooden castle for $100 and a smaller possibly forest-ish set for $40, with the rest being either seige weapons or civillian sets. The original KK1 was crap with nice Figs, but now that TLC is on a good streak a second try could be awsome. Just tryin' to explain my opinion a bit better, and FYI foresters or wolfpack would be my 2nd choice

Re: If you could bring back any Castle Subtheme...
I'd like to see the return of Forestmen..[ Robinhood] and with the single figure packs coming out next year I can see that there's one figure that's going to be expensive on bricklink. So Forestmen kinda have been brought back..
and I've always been a fan of the Black Dragons [Black Knights] and with the possible resurrection of a Dragons theme next year.. and Lions being over done as a theme. I think that counts them out. ...
So..
I'd like to see the Eagle Crest [Black falcons] being reinvented. Its been a while since we have seen a bird symbol on a shield. They had a certain style to them.. Black helmets .. blue bodies.. and a symbol that stood out. I'd like to see a reinvention of 6074.. with a yellow Tudor style house surrounded by a wall and gatehouse.

I would love it if Vikings was revived with the classic shortsword, chrome greatsword, bow, quiver, with new sculpted animals! Maybe we could get some houses and they wouldn't have stupid curved bones jutting out of them and there wouldn't be any strange gigantic siege engines!

Re: If you could bring back any Castle Subtheme...
While I like the Forestmen, I would have to say the Fantasy theme. I love the dragons from it. They are considerably easier to pose then the older ones. They don't look like cartoons, and they are really great looking. Also from the fantasy line, I would love to see more orcs and dwarves, races seriously under represented. Of course Elves would be nice, but if they were released I wouldn't have a reason to make custom ones.
Lego helps make history fun!
Re: If you could bring back any Castle Subtheme...
Personally, I'd like to see more of the Fantasy theme. I know, it's been around for 3 years and has ended now, with tons of sets, but I do really like the whole concept, and I think some other elements of fantasy could be added.
That being said, I'm glad Kingdoms is on it's way.

Completely agreed, although at the risk of being redundant, I miss Forrestmen as well.

Re: If you could bring back any Castle Subtheme...
I'd love to see a modern version of the Wolfpack. They could have a similiar role with the two new factions as they did with the old, some sort of bandits or mercenaries. They wouldn't need a large hideout, just some camping areas to keep their sets minimal compared to the larger factions with a few of their minifigs spread out through the larger sets.

Re: If you could bring back any Castle Subtheme...
I think it would especially nice to see Forestmen redux. They could actually make a set with BROWN tree trunks now!
Re: If you could bring back any Castle Subtheme...
the answer is obvious - KKII of course

Re: If you could bring back any Castle Subtheme...
I'd really like to see another Forestmen faction. The old sets look really cool but being a late 80's kid, I never got any of them.
Re: If you could bring back any Castle Subtheme...
I don't think any theme should be brought back, Lego should just re-continue the Legends series and release one or two legend sets every year. That would satisfy me totally. I'd like to see 6075 Wolfpack Tower and 6054 Forestmen's Hideout re-released.
For a new bandit theme, I would like to see something based off of The Assassins from the middle east. With the Prince of Persia line, we already have middle eastern style helmets and parts, so it wouldn't be too difficult to develop the theme.

Re: If you could bring back any Castle Subtheme...
Actually, I like that idea best. I would really like the opportunity to buy some of the old sets new and at a decent price. Besides, even if they do bring back themes such as forestmen, and even if it ends up being really cool, it would never be the same as the classic forestmen... but I guess that not the point...Jacob C. wrote:I don't think any theme should be brought back, Lego should just re-continue the Legends series and release one or two legend sets every year.

Re: If you could bring back any Castle Subtheme...
If LEGO continues the revamping of the first factions, ie, Crown, Lion, and Dragon we would expect to see more like the Black Falcon and Forestmen in the future. If we wait long enough, more of the original factions will come back. I would really be surprised if LEGO did not bring back the Falcons and Forestmen.
To answer the main question of the thread, LEGO already has brought back my favorite faction, the Lions. Well done, LEGO!
