Lego 10223 Kingdoms Joust Exclusive

I'm totally lost as to the point of this debate about the Falcon knight.

1. Is there a falcon knight in this set? Yes.

2. Is it supposed to be a reboot of the Black Falcons? I don't know. The shield looks like it to me.

3. Does the torso make this a dragon knight rather than a falcon? No. The torso has no heraldry and is obviously being used for whatever Lego wants to use it for.

What exactly is the issue here and why are we still debating whatever it is we are debating?

lol. I was thinking along this exact line of thought when I saw that this post was still active. I mean, I understand the excitement/intrigue, but I'm much more of a "let's just wait and see what happens" kind of person than one to spend hours in endless speculation. It's for this same reason that I don't follow high-profile court cases or worry about the latest gossip. But then, to each his own I suppose.

Ok I am relativly new here. What is a "Black Falcon" ?

Black Falcons are the faction featured in this set and others.

I really like the Falcons. I only had a few back in the 80's but I've bought a few more since I now have the money to do it.

The Falcons are great, and I do hope they come back, however, I have to agree with many of the posters here. We won't know what LEGO is really going to do with the Falcon's until they decide to release it.

Here's to hoping for the Falcon's reboot!

Glad I checked in on the site and saw this...wallet won't be so glad, though..

Oh dear oh dear... so far I have avoided needing to have (and buy) most of the Kingdoms line... I did buy one each of the really small sets for the figs (which are the best part)... but the rest of the line hasn't really perked my interest. But this set looks really enticing. Problem is, once I saw the picture of two sets put together, just one looks very underwhelming. Now I'm really in trouble... I'm feeling I'm going to have to either get two or decide to skip it entirely... thankfully it's not out yet so there is time to save up I guess...

Nice job, David. Now look what you've started! (PS guys, he's being sarcastic )

Everyone keeps talking about the "two sets combined" pics, but I have no idea what that means?? I've only seen the same pic over and over. Could someone clarify the difference? Thanks!

Yes, this is the only pic I've seen for the set, other than differing angles. Where is the comparison set?

One Set
Two Sets
If you look close, you can see that the main structure is double wide with two sets combined.

Ooooohh, okay. Now I see it.... WOW, there is a huge difference and I definitely prefer the mega-version. Arg.

I was looking more closely at the details of this great set and the first thing in my head was that some people from CC was involucred in the design of this set (or it's a tribute for them ).

By example:

1. The King has a library, the Admin Bruce likes books.
2. The floor decoration on the towers. I saw here in CC many MOCs with similar floor patterns (but I can't remember who is the creator).
3. The Falcon Knight, a tribute to the Black Falcons faction so beloved for many members here.
4. Details within the tower building.

Update: 5. Also, there are many minifigs that I suppose represents every admin or mods from CC,

or is just my imagination?

Well, I guess I might as well give my two cents.

My theory is that the Black Falcons faction will make a reapearance, probably along with another faction (i.e. Forestmen, especially due to the Forestman Collectible Minifigure). This is due to the way the Castle line worked, with Dwarves and Trolls showing up midway along the line.

Someone said earlier that they thought that these Black Falcons would only show up in sets but not have a castle of their own. May I draw your attention to the Dwarve's Mining Fortress? Or even the Troll Mountain Fortress? I can certainly see these new Black Falcons having their own castle. Here's to hoping that I'm right!
