“This set is a nice army builder because of the two figs and shields; I also like the cape and white flags which are always nice additions.”

“This set is a must buy for those who hold the desire to create a Castle themed fleet. Pair this set with 6049 and 6057 to build an admirable bunch of ships to transport one's troops from shore to shore.”

About Castle Lion Knights

The Lion Knights were released the same year as the Black Falcons in 1984. As with the Black Falcons, LEGO never officially named this faction for some time, although catalogues in the United States and Australia used the name Lion Knights while Canada used Lion Crest. The Lion Knights were in open conflict with the Forestmen, as shown by several catalog settings.

Lion Knights consists of 19 sets that ran from 1984 to 2014. As of today, 1584 Knight's Challenge is the most valuable Lion Knights set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $4,101.
Summary
Castle Lion Knights King's Oarsmen set 6017 was released in April 1987, retailing for $4, but has since been retired. New, unopened King's Oarsmen sets are valued at $300, while used sets can be found for $22 in good condition.
