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.
2002 LEGO Sets
2002 was a mixed year of success and experimentation. Star Wars dominated with Episode II: Attack of the Clones sets and collector favorites like the Imperial Star Destroyer (10030), while the Western theme’s Fort LEGOredo (6762) gained long-term appeal. New themes included Spider-Man, Island Xtreme Stunts, and expanded Racers sets, but LEGO also faced missteps with Galidor and Spybotics—both short-lived departures from traditional building. Core themes such as Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Alpha Team remained strong, making 2002 a year of both breakthroughs and lessons learned.
