• Thanks for the heads up. It’s a nice set but I was hoping for the castle base and maybe some horse knights etc.

    As you say, could be a coincidence and a 90yr set could be on the way.

  • Yes, and I know it's not 'your' edition of the Knights. The 'Black Falcons' (although we never called them that) came out in the 80s.

    I rather doubt that they'd still do a castle base like those old ones, sadly. They've generally moved away from the customised base plates that you used to get with most themes, including those for the castles. I did like old-style base plates, my favourites obviously being the space versions with moon craters, but they did have their drawbacks, and LEGO now seems to be angling for the different approach that we've just seen in the new City 'road plates', i.e. probably thicker and more solid, not so easily punctured.

  • You’re probably right. We’ve still got the original plate to be fair so I could recreate the set. Just something appealing about owning a pristine version of my childhood memories.
