If you could bring back any Castle Subtheme...

Post by Forestboy »

If you could bring back any Lego Castle Subtheme (Forestmen, Black Falcons, etc.) and modernize it...what would it be? (For better or for worse :D )

This has been discussed ad nauseum around here but I'm not sure if it's had it's own thread for a long time and since it's one of my favorite topics, I'll bite: Today, I'll say Forsetmen. They may be the closest thing we could get to some peasantry with it's own set of sets.

Why do I have to add the word "minifig" to my spell checker every time I use it?!

Is that Formendacil's theme? :eyebrows:

Because three sets do not a faction make, I'll say Wolfpack.

But, then again... isn't Ninja is a Castle subtheme?

Nah, that's the Corsetmen.

But, on topic... anyone else have a favorite subtheme?

Either the forestmen or wolfpack would be great additions to the castle lineup. Thieving bandits are needed to add excitement to the theme.

Hard choice. Perhaps...Fright Knights? I thought they made rather good villians. But the Wolfback or the Forestmen would be nice, as well, as Architect mentioned.

Yes, bringing back Forestmen would be would I would want to see, because of the peasants too (and the pitchforks!). It's also my favorite theme and I wasn't alive when it came out, although I do have a minifig from a friend.

black falcons but if not, forestmen
first reasoning for BFs
really cool heraldry(at least compared with the crownies)
no good/evil connotation
really cool castles
then for the FM
all earlier stated reasons
I need lego pieces for tree making
who doesn't like robin wood(no typo that is according to T.H. White)esque robbers and bandits
it would cause a boom in carts(I.E. wagons full of treasure being defended against forestmen)
-T.R.

I was going to say Forestmen, but I'd prefer Wolfpack.

Black Knights, with their awesome castles!!

Or maybe Forestmen, to have some "bandit"/rogue faction.

Wow, your avatar looks very... intimidating? I think I'm beginning to understand why some people like the BF so much...

That's your opinion. But I like it, too.
