Ask, “What is LEGO Fabuland?”:

- 97 different sets.
- Aimed for children between 4-8.
- Special elements that were larger than standard Lego bricks, but were fully compatible with regular Lego.
- Primary colour scheme.
- Story book like instructions
Discover the ways Fabuland was ahead of its time:
- First LEGO property to have their own TV show:
- First LEGO property to get it’s own book series

Try to figure out what is going on in these weird and wonderful sets:
Finally, we ask:
- Could LEGO even make a theme this innocent and wacky anymore?
- Would you like to see Fabuland re-released?
- Are you glad this Orwellian nightmare of a theme has gone the way of the Dodo?
