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.
1988 LEGO Sets
In 1988, Castle introduced the Black Knights era with imposing fortresses and dragon heraldry, while Town delivered large, feature-packed sets such as racetracks and service complexes. Futuron and Blacktron—introduced the prior year—remained central to Space, with sleek exploration craft set against bold, antagonist designs.
