What is your favorite classic faction?

Post by Lord »

My favorite classic castle faction is the black falcon because it was the first ever lego castle set I got (Black Falcon's Fortress). I also like the color scheme of blue and black. I would love it if lego made more legend sets out of black falcon sets. :)

My favorite classic castle faction is the guys from 1979, the original joust. I don't really know why I like them more than the other factions except that their torso are universal and can be assimilated into other factions.

The legends are not being continued, just in case you didn't know.

I happen to like the black falcons and the wolfpack. The black falcons because their colors are clean. The wolfpack because my only complete old castle set is the wolfpack tower.

I used to prefer the forestmen, but these days it's more the black falcons.

I really am fond of the "Crusader" sets and minifigures. They seemed to have the broadest type of set design, opponents, locations, baseplates, and characters. I just love them. :oops: :wink:

Wolfpack, Forestmen, Crusaders, Black Falcons... I can't choose! Maybe Crusaders, though. They're the most heroic looking faction.
...and that's how Equestria was made!

Definitely the Crusaders, but the Black Monarchs make a close second.

I personnally love all of the old classic factions. I would have to say that the Forestmen and Crusaders are my favourite factions for figs, but I really like the sets of the Black Knights.

For me it is a tie between black falcon and the forestmen. I've always been a fan of the robin hood sets but theres just something about the black falcons that are awesome.

I agree the black falcons are just plain awesome. Which is why I like them so much. :D

Black Knights and Forestmen. The second are mainly because of Robin Hood stories; the first are just awesome. Although I do love Crusaders and Black Falcons too, my choices are the best IMO.

Is there anything you unique about the BFs that you like so much? Bluesecrets mentioned it was them being clean. I am trying figure out why so many people like them seeing how they always go for a lot on ebay compared to the other factions.

I mostly like the colors and the emblem of the falcon is pretty cool. Plus sicne my first set was their fortress they kind of grew on me.
