I love this set. I always used to pretend (and still do) that the Raven Knights... er excuse my ignorance Black Falcons and the Black Knights or Dragon Guys or whatever were allies, and all the Lion type dudes and Royal Knights were allies, and then the Fright Knights and Bulls and whoever else I thought looked evil were a team, and the Forestmen were whatever I wanted, and the Wolfpack were sometimes with the Forestmen and sometimes with the... well that's beside the point. *ehem* anyway. Yeah I love this set, still got all the parts. After about a year though I just about always lose the instructions, or did. Now there aren't any sets left keeping the way they are unless I buy some of the Castle stuff from the Magazine.

Hoppla!
I missed this.
This ship is well done, it has this special erm... ship-feeling. OK, it's only a very verry verrry small cog, but at least it is a cog. In a way.
And it has Black Falcons. This set lasted in the catalogue until 1994, thus the Black Falcons outlasted the Lion Knights (aka Crusaders). Harhar. OK, I don't like the grey legs of the Black Falcons but, hey, that's better than nothing...

A very nice set. Many figures, a nice little boat and maaany shields for your soldiers who don't have one yet. It also has the helmet accesoires at the front, which I like alot.
*And the bulls arrive in kk2*
Cedric the bull: "Hahaha Leo we're here to- wtf?"
*and the bulls see some happy knights bouncing at each other with carts*
Cedric (shocked): "I guess we got the wrong KK''
Bull soldier (frightened): "Lets go back"

I was very young when this set first came out. But either way, I was astounded by it. Unfortunately, all the calls my mom made to LEGO couldn't land us this set. But thanks to a little website called "Bricklink", I now have myself one of these! And it's just as awesome as I thought it would be. It comes with some awesome minifigures, plenty of shields and weapons, and tons of play value. It also established what I saw as a rivalry between the Falcons and the Black Knights. It currently serves as a ship in my Royal navy.
My rating: 10/10, and I'm not being overly generous, either.

Want it, want it, want it... *sigh* But don't have it...
I love this set, I've always wanted it, but then I get distracted by something else.(not to mention that I had the misfortune to be born *after* it came out)
Very cool, with five soldiers, a cool boat, and a neat sail, I'd say 10/10.

I bought this set from a friend about a year ago. He said he had a couple of pirate ships, but I was overjoyed that he had brought this little gem as well. I had to contain my composure so he didn't ask for more money
Usually when I get a set I do at least a little bit of moccing to it. But This is one of few official designs that I deem perfect as is. I even like the colors. 10 of 10 and my favorite set of all the castle themes.

This is one of the best castle sets ever, IMO. it has great pieces and 5 mini figs. It was worth buying.

I remember this set with a great fondness. It was the first set that I purchased with the scale armor/Black Knight soldiers.
I have to agree with Knight David that for five figures a one of the better ship designs at the time that this is a stellar set.
I give it an overall 9 of 10. The reason it does not get a 10 of 10 is because I thought the ship itself could be a bit larger. But any Lego crazy builder worth his or her salt could remedy that problem with some spare pieces.
Like I've said before they sure don't make 'um like they used to!

For under $20 bucks back in the day this was a stellar set. They were even easy enough to find at TRU stores in the USA, and had plenty of charm, minifigure knights armor & arms and could be modified to be a decent addition to the merchant fleet of the Pirates vs Soldiers line.
9 out of 10, mostly because I can't think of many realistic or good uses for thos blue half-turret pieces.

This is the only set I have that came with Black Falcons. The rest of the figs are great aswell. I love the all the little details this set has. I especially like the sail. Overall I say this set is great. Great figs, acessories, parts, everything.
