Lion Knights is the name collectors use for the knights with the lion crest, one of the first Castle factions of 1984. LEGO did not give them an official name for years, and catalogues called them Lion Knights in the United States and Australia and Lion Crest in Canada.
1986 LEGO Sets
In 1986, Castle advanced with the Black Falcon’s Fortress and new armor elements, while Town and Space received steady expansions. Technic deepened its engineering focus with more gears, linkages, and pneumatics, and began limited experiments with computer-assisted control in educational contexts—precursors to later robotics lines.
