Medieval remains a popular theme, but with the recent few batches always being about a good and evil faction at war, I'd suggest to make the next one fully about tournaments.
This allows for battles, but also for festivities and civilians. At the same time, it pays hommage to medieval factions of the past by including plenty of them.
It's also a great opportunity for children to learn a bit of history in a playfull way.
Aside from new sets, several old tournament sets get reissued as part of a classic collection:
-3652 jousting knights. (fleur de lis and tower.)
-3654 Tournament tent. (Golden Swan knight.)
-2669 Jousting Knight with squires. (Yellow Dragon.)
-3265 Jousting knights. (Unicorn and classic falcon, possibly with shoes or boots and of course moveable hands.)
And on to new sets:
-Sword fight.
A square wooden fence arena for a knightly duel. Comes with a weapon rack with various melee weapons and flags for each knight.
Included clickies: Classic Lion knight, Classic Lion soldier, New Red falcon (recent batch) knight with soldier.
-Archery competition.
A medium sized set with four archery targets and four archers.
Included clickies: Forestman archer, Royal Lion archer, Yellow Lion archer and the Blue hooded archer.
-Royal Jousting tournament.
This is the largest set of them all.
Included is a large stage with a throne fit for a king, and a chair on each side of the throne for important guests.
A wooden jousting wall is included for the center, and a standard wooden fence is also included that is big enough to surround the tournament field.
Weapon racks are also included of course, and a barded horse for each knight, and a flag of their faction.
Included clickies: Swan King, Swan princess, Swan Herald, Red Dragon Knight, Red Dragon Herald, Royal Lion Knight, Royal Lion herald, Golden Unicorn Knight, Golden Unicorn herald,Golden Unicorn Noblewoman, Templar Knight, Templar Herald.
-Audience.
Six medieval civilians to watch the battles, a mixture of men, women and children with accesoires.
-Tournament tent of the Red Falcon.
Tournament tent dedicated to a knight of the 90's red falcon. (faction from the first siege tower.)
Comes with a bed, a weapon rack and most things included from the swan tent, though this tent could be different in shape and have some different accesoires.
Comes with a barded horse as well.
Included clickies: Falcon knight, Squire and a child. (could be the knight's son.)
-Two jousting knights.
A small set that still comes with two fully armored knights with a barded horse and a squire, the cheapest way to set up a jousting tournament pretty much.
Comes with a Fleur de lis knight and squire, and Sir Christopher with a squire.
Overall it doesnt really matter which factions show up in which sets, but it could be great if discontinued factions would have a place in these tournament sets as well to bolster the variety of knights.
