The Black Falcons were an early faction of LEGO's Castle theme and were introduced together with the Crusaders in 1984 when LEGO relaunched their Castle theme after the discontinuation of the first knights faction. The Black Falcons name is not actually official as the name comes from the set 6074 Black Falcon's Fortress. The Black Falcons subtheme and faction was discontinued in 1992.
1986 LEGO Sets
In 1986, LEGO's legacy of innovation and adaptability continued to flourish. This year was particularly notable for the introduction of the LEGO Technic theme, a departure from traditional brick-based sets. Technic offered a more complex building experience, introducing specialized pieces like gears, pins, and beams to enable the creation of intricate mechanical models with moving parts. This new line catered to older children and enthusiasts who sought more advanced building challenges. The Technic sets represented not just vehicles and machinery but the underlying principles of engineering and mechanics.
