Crusaders. Time of the 6080 and the famous Guarded Inn and the Armor Shop with black sword. I recently did an alt build from the black Falcons castle, all the little modulars and the original black Falcon castle and man.... That looked awesome! My little kids love to play with that big castle lay out. ❤️👍
The Fright Knights definitely need to make a comeback. I have a soft spot for dark fantasy and they over-deliver on that front. I especially loved the black dragon with translucent orange wings. Maybe it was supposed to be a giant bat instead of an actual dragon, but hell, I loved it anyways. :)
I am SO glad I was a kid from the mid eighties to the mid nineties, so many superior Lego themes like space, pirates and castle. I have big respect for the era from the mid seventies to the mid eighties but I can't help thinking that Lego lost something after the millennium.
Well said. Pirates, space and castle themes were the big 3 in the 80's and most of the 90's. Lego was really on their game during that period. I wish I had kept all of those sets seeing as how a majority of them have gone up in value by a substantial margin.
@@Gingersockman its the licensing that kills me the most about Lego now. Most of their main line is Harry Potter, Jurassic park, Marvel/DC and STAR WARS. Like they can't come up with their own ideas anymore.
I had/felt one (bag) in my hands in the Lego store back then but didn't buy it, since it was briefly prior to my medieval Lego-times renaissance :'( buhuu
As a 80s kid, crusaders, black falcons ans forestmen are my favorites, and i like their reissue. But the not-official factions from cmf are great : Raven, Bear, and i made a brand new one from the unicorn shield ( cmf 18).
I pledge my loyalty to the Black Falcons. And that's why, like with the Blacksmith Shop before it, I could not miss the Mountain Fortress from Bricklink Designer Program series 1 (despite being a tad above of my usual lego budget 😅).
1978 to 1983 are my favorite castle factions. Would snap up any rereleases that Lego would make of them. A bigger, taller, and more kitted out Yellow Castle would be hard to resist. I didn’t have it as a child but I would get one or two as an adult.
I think we are in another golden era of Lego castle since around 2022/23, a renaissance even, considering Pick a Brick: The Lion's Castle, the Blacksmith, the Viking Village, the Medieval Town Square, the Black Falcons Castle on Bricklink (and soon to come the Black Falcon’s Siege Battle Pack) are all absolutely amazing and perfect Lego Sets. The downers being their size related prizeing, their at times limited availablity and the lack of smaller and more affordable regular sets and lines. Yet still THE greatest addition, is the selection of available theme related parts and minifigures on Pick a Brick: plenty of beautiful shields (mostly descending from the Lions Kights Castle) and torsos/legs, both in perfectly updated and beautiful new designs, weapons, armor, many other great small parts and items, and a never seen before abundance of animals, of which many are closely related to the middle-age time periode like the horses (at times a variety of 3!), sheep, cows, pigs, goats, chicken, etc. Pick a Brick alone allows to create and customize a plentyfull world, even massive armies, for relatively cheap, which I did.
My favorite castle faction is def black knights, since i love their mix almost the same as black falcon and crusaders minifigures, their minifigure is the mix of crusader and black falcon but on their torso they dont have their faction logo, i love black knights now im focusing to get them, and also some bonus black knight have another minifigure that had the same white thing on their torso, but instead of red theres blue their also black knights reason why i love them actually
I just realized! The Lego Nexo Knights resemble four of the major Castle Factions! Jay is “Black Falcons”, Axl is the “Bull Faction”, Macy is “Dragon Knights”, and Aaron could’ve a descendant of the “Wolfpack”!
I'd like to think that the Crusades/Lion Knights/Crown Knights and the Black Knights/Dragon Knights are just the same faction but gradually evolvede over time
@@BricksPlanet correct me if im wrong as its DECADES since i looked at vintage castle lego set brochures but i seem to remember some of the figures had wine or beer goblets?.....am i correct?
I wish LEGO can bring back "Castle/Kingdom" again, but instead of being a lot of knights vs something. I would like to see a Lego Medieval Town. Sets examples: 1. Castle, 2. Blacksmith, 3. Tavern/Inn, 4. Tailor Shop, 5. Town Center with Street Markers, tree and well, Stables. 6. Fishing Docks with a big and small Boat. 7. Windmill with Crops. villagers. 8. Farming Barn Animals. villagers. 9. A Bank or TAX collector with a Robin hood. 10. Bandit camp. 11. Cottage Home. (I bet alot of people would by to make a big village or town.) 12. Small bridge with a watch tower. 13. A Dragon Cave with treasure and Skelton. 14. Wizard Tower or Shop. 15. Barber shop. 16. A adventure Guild.
Yes, I didn' put every minifig in this video but only some of them for exemple. The purpose of this video is especially to explain every fraction symbols on shields and flags :)
Looking at some of the later castle and knights sets, I can see why it fell out of popularity. Too many details and completely outlandish color schemes. I'm glad I got to be a kid in the 80's. I had goten out of lego for some reason, probably to play video games, stupid video games, but I do like some of the sets from the 90's. Those early 2000's sets, though... damn. Sorry kids. They did the same thing to GI-Joe in the 90's. Lose total perspective of what you're trying to emulate and force designers to "Jazz it up" "Make it BIGGER and BRIGHTER!" "Kids love unnecessary details!" I"m glad Lego toned it down later, but I feel like LOTR was the final nail in the castle coffin. Much like StarWars killed the Space theme. I'm glad to see the reissues of the older sets, but I'd like to see all new lines. Let's hope they're just testing the waters for new lines.
Thats just a Crusaders/Lion knights [figure that has been played with a lot: the gold axes/lion symbol wears off with use and leaves the black background
Yes and not. How you can see we have différent colors and logos on shields and torsos so it's different. There is no really official information about that.
@@BricksPlanet I mean yeah sure the knights all come from different countries but they are all under the faction of Morcia, there is plenty of information about this if you look
hi im very confused because some of the lego knights i have have different symbols and stuff and i cant find the names of there factions also i think lego should bring these all back in a lego knights video game because then they would be organized because this is very confusing to me
@@BricksPlanet can you explain for example i got a new fig with a shelid with a sign but i cant find any info on what the facton is called who they are anything like that can you help you seem like you know a lot
I didn't put all minifigures in this video but just some of them to represent each faction. Batlord (Fright Knights) Faction is present in the video. I'm not sure who is the ghost knight for you ? Crown Knights are present in "Fantasy Era".
@@BricksPlanet The "Crow Knight" is the Tournament Knight from CMF series 20 he had a shield with a crow on it. The "Ghost Knight" is probably referring to the Fright Knight from CMF series 19.
@@robonaught Oh, yes "Crow Knight" and not "Crown Knight" :D Yes maybe I could ad it in this video because it's one more faction excisting in Lego castle. On the second hand it's only one minifigure from CMF so difficult to call it a "Faction" :D
@@BricksPlanet There is a possibility we might be getting another new and slightly different Crow Knight minifig so it could finally be called a faction. Lego held this poll around 3 months ago about voting for a Castle faction minifig to be included in this like new prize machine set which dispenses minifigs in capsules. The 4 candidates were two brand new factions: Griffins and Krakens. The other two were the Crow and the Bulls. I have no idea what got the most votes. Though I get the feeling Lego will still use the factions that didn't win the vote in some way especially with the attention Castle has been given these days with a lot of the factions being brought back. I would so love to see Cedric and his Bulls return.
This video does not show EVERY figure of the castle factions, many figures are missing. For example the lady in the set 6067 or 6081, or the blue dressed guy with the fork (set 6103). It's strange, that the old/classic Lego castle sets never had a king or a queen. There was this female "lady" figure in the old black falcons vs. robin hood vs. lion knights sets, but it wasnt a real queen imho.
Crusaders = Lannisters Forestmen = Baratheons Black Knights = Targaryens Wolfpack = Starks Black Falcons = Arryns GRR Martin got his ideas for Westeros houses from Lego
Can we get more women knights lego? 50% female isnt enough for the Castle theme.

They didn’t.
It’s all nostalgia and lego is so much better now.
Sorry but early 2000s to early 2010s was legos best. They’re at their peak now in other ways though
My favorite wasn't an official castle faction, but the Raven/Crow Knight from the CMF series 20 is easily my favorite castle figure.
Yes it is rallye good
I have that and it’s really good
I had/felt one (bag) in my hands in the Lego store back then but didn't buy it, since it was briefly prior to my medieval Lego-times renaissance :'( buhuu

Now you're going to have to add the new falconer minifig from the 2023 collectables to your Black Falcons!
1978 to 1983 are my favorite castle factions. Would snap up any rereleases that Lego would make of them. A bigger, taller, and more kitted out Yellow Castle would be hard to resist. I didn’t have it as a child but I would get one or two as an adult.

Since you included falcons reissue, you could have also mentioned as bonus Vikings from 3in1 ship set (as a vikings reissiue of sorts).
Yes thats true!
As soon as the year 2000 hit the quality of the figures dropped and they started to look goofy.
Although they're back on track with the 2021 stuff.

Beautifully done! Thank you!!
Crown Knights from Castle 2007 and Green Dragon Knights from Kingdoms were my favorites as a kid.
Long live the 80s and 90s legos
Various factions the green lion knight was my first minifig I can remember with the shadow knight scorpions
Can you please make one with all the CMF fantasy and their factions
Good idea
I'd like to think that the Crusades/Lion Knights/Crown Knights and the Black Knights/Dragon Knights are just the same faction but gradually evolvede over time
Yes, Im' agree with you
awesome review :)
Fantastic, now I'm complet. Thank you.
Very cool, so many different factions. But you forgot the Kingdoms Falcon Black knight.
What do you mean. There is Black Kngihts, Falcons, and Kingdoms.
@@BricksPlanet I mean the Black knight in the Kingdoms joust set. He has a falcon shield that is different from the classic and the new ones.
Definitely early fractions are the best ❤
Super zestawienie!
Black falcons and the wolfpack are my favorite.
Great!
I need a pdf version of this. Awesome!
Hahahaha! Thank you. Unfortunetly I don't have a pdf!
A Knights Kingdom 2 Castle remake needs to happen so bad
The Crucaders reissue was renamed to Lion Knights, but yeah the reissue knights, all three factions, are my favorites.
Black Knights (1988-1993) with armor - Best Ever ⚔️🛡️
glory to the black raven knights!
Crusaders are now called lion knights I think?
Yes it's the same
Ah yes lego of thrones my favorite show.
🤓 this is so cool to watch..
Thank you 😀😀😀

My favorite faction is definitely the Green Kingdom Dragon Knights.
At 11 crusaders, today black knighs 🙂
I wish LEGO can bring back "Castle/Kingdom" again, but instead of being a lot of knights vs something. I would like to see a Lego Medieval Town.
Sets examples:
1. Castle,
2. Blacksmith,
3. Tavern/Inn,
4. Tailor Shop,
5. Town Center with Street Markers, tree and well, Stables.
6. Fishing Docks with a big and small Boat.
7. Windmill with Crops. villagers.
8. Farming Barn Animals. villagers.
9. A Bank or TAX collector with a Robin hood.
10. Bandit camp.
11. Cottage Home. (I bet alot of people would by to make a big village or town.)
12. Small bridge with a watch tower.
13. A Dragon Cave with treasure and Skelton.
14. Wizard Tower or Shop.
15. Barber shop.
16. A adventure Guild.
Yes there is many ideas for new sets to make whole medieval village
You are missing a Fright Knight soldier with studded armor. The minifigure is for example in set 6027.

Does any one have a theory why the classic castle red shield and white star/cross is not in the Lion Knights' castle set?
Black falcons to Black knights generation.
i like vikings lego
I’m shocked at how ugly the designs of everything between the Ninjas and the Fantasy Era are.
To be clear those two series mentioned look great, it’s everything in between
NexoKnights weren't included?!?
I was thinkig about it but it's really apart like ninjago.
How are kings knights and castle kingdom not the same?
Not exaclty. How you can see shield pattern is different
I have some Knights and i cant identity their Faction. Their symbol has a blue outline, and the rest of the symbol is black.
All flags and shields with symbols are in this video. You should find it!
Thats just a Crusaders/Lion knights [figure that has been played with a lot: the gold axes/lion symbol wears off with use and leaves the black background
