While they only had a couple of sets, I have a real soft spot for the Wolfpack. I wish they'd extended that line.

I agree Bruce, that would great.

I dun't know what my favorite theme is. I would have to say Forestmen or Wolfpack. They are the sort of factions/groups that I like, kind of a resistance-type people.

Of course, I have a very big soft spot for the classics, too. Who doesn't?

Wolfpack is my favorite faction, Black Falcons second. I like the peasant minifigs the best though. With a Farmer's Cowl and a Pitchfork. (Wish I had one.)

I am a truely insane fan for Royal knights! Even though I have only 5 now. I also think the Black Knights and Dragon Masters would be a close second.

That is a very hard question for me Fanatic.

I've always liked the Wolfpack since I was a kid (you'll have to wait till you see my wolfpack tower redux, to really see what I mean). Wow, I didn't realize folks around here liked them so much...

I also really like the Crusaders/Lion Knights too! When I was young I only had one, but he was my favorite figure!

Both lines had great sets and they hold a special place in my collection.

I'd have to say the Lion Knights and Black Knights, less for the figs than for the excellent sets.

The wolfpack. Sure they're essentially just degenerate Forestmen, but they always seemed a lot more sneaky and just conniving. I think they were more of a threat that the forest people.

I think my favourite more conventional Castle faction though is the Black Falcons.

Forestmen, closely followed by Black Knights and KK One. I've always loved Robin Hood stories, which the Forestmen fit perfectly; the BKs are just really cool; and KK One was my first faction (along with Bulls).

forestmen and black knights. I really like the clean look of the black knights scale mail torsos and the sets

Forestmen are my favourite though, they are more useful in a non violent setting

I don't exactly have a favorite, though I do have some prefereneces.

For me, the Lions, Black Falcons and Black Knights (NOT Dragon Masters) are all fantastic factions. The Forestmen and the Wolfpack aren't bad either though. Nothing afterwards really measures up (allthough the new Crown Knights are looking pretty nice).

Does KK2 count?

I would say the Royal Knights. I grew up with them as my heroes, the brave knights who'd defeat the nasty Dragon Masters and save the princess/treasure. They had so much potential and the sets they had were very good, but like most themes of the ninties they were discarded before their time. I wish they'd gotten the same level of attention and care as the Lion Knights or Forestmen got.

KK2 of course!!!

Really, Forestmen. I love the idea, the sets, and the figs. Second would be Black Knights, and third Wolfpack.

I have the same soft spot. Now I just need some of the figures from that line...
