Thanks Teddy! A certain columnist over at the BrickZone Post-Gazette has already
written several articles and dug up some dirt about the cast and the show:

I expect the reason for the different numbers on the hinges of the legs is the
following:
In a LEGO-mold a number of pieces are produced simulataneously (e.g. say 20 2x4
bricks at the same time). Each of these pieces has a different number (so for
the bricks from 1 to 20) to be able to identify which part of the mold the piece
is coming from (in the case of problems with some of the molds).
You can also see it on plates; next to a 4 or 5 digit element number there is
also often a digit that varies from otherwise identical plates.
So I think it is just for LEGO a way to check were defective parts can come
from.
Best regards,
Sybrand

I am having fun doing the series and it’s nice to hear some feedback. I hope
you enjoy the rest of the series & I hope your laptop cleaned up okay.

Im sure I will, I did check out the next two episodes after posting, and enjoyed
them both as well, totally cracked up at the whole “knee” scene. I really enjoy
how you throw in the “reality of the brick” sort of joke in now and then. Now
Im positive I cant wait a month for an update!! Not fair to leave us hanging!
I suggest you quit your day job to keep us in new episodes, paying bills and
having money to put food on the table is SOOO over-rated.

The Hospital Cat is a female in the US?! I always though the orange Cats
were male, the white ones female... wherever, in my Hospital book the Cat is
a male named Tony ;). My favourite one, by the way!
I have antoher question... why they quit doing Fabuland? It is
sooooooooooooo beautiful......................................
|
I lost the US version of the Hospital instructions. I would love to scan it for
you, because that is so weird.
Here’s my theory as to why they discontinued Fabuland:
The whites of their eyes! When they changed the figures from the black eyes with
two white dots to the human-like eyes with whites and eyeballs, the line fell
apart. I believe the reason they changed the eyes was to match a popular British
claymation series about Fabuland characters which helped Fabuland sales. The
characters in the series had human-type eyes so I think they changed the line to
match it. However, the new figures look really freaky and probably gave children
nightmares. To me it looked like zombie Fabuland and I had to hide the new
figures in a drawer. Consequently, they added clothing to the torsos as well
which ended up in ridiculous figures like this one:
It’s Lionel Lion the pimp!
I still check my closet for those eyes before I go to bed...

Or reduction, that is.
I’ve been studying the traffic patterns at BrickZone.net and have realized
that a lot of people stop viewing the first episode about halfway through.
So I’ve condensed the first episode from 346 pictures to just under 200.
Plus, there is a new viewing feature (borrowed from other brilliant LEGO
story tellers) that will bring you back to the scene selection menu after
each scene helping you to keep your place should you decide to stop and come
back later.
The subsequent episodes are well under 200 pictures each. So I’ve given the
pilot episode the reader’s digest treatment and I hope you all enjoy it or
if you haven’t yet, have a pleasant experience reading it for the first
time.
New episode coming soon (trying my best to do one a month)!
Take care everyone.

I have visited your site a number of times to check out the mocs (which are
very impressive) but didn’t have the time to read the episodes until now...
man. There is some funny stuff in there.... Love the dialogue between Marty
and Piper, when he finds out she is expecting and Lila pops back out and asks
“What are you two talking about?” ... Wow that Marty is such a smooth talker
with his response “Not adultery!”... Spit my rye and coke out on my laptop.
Between Marty’s lousy poker face, the Mayors ethics, Brody’s psychotic I love
you whispers, and Dr Dalton’s bedside manner, I am having difficulty picking
a favourite character. Keep up the good work.
Cant help but wonder what other jobs entitle one to a free murder, maybe its
time for a career change.

I've posted sometimes ago the instruction of the Hospital in Italian, but I
didn't remember where... I remember it was an archive of Fabuland
instruction. Boh...

Yes, a lot of animals have different name, some of theme are in Italian,
some are translation, some changes completely. I.E.:
Catherine Cat -> Caterina
Clover Cow -> Rosalia
Cornelius Cat -> Charlie
The sheep in the Hospital -> Luisa
And I gave a lot of different name because I wanted to name theme different:
the Catherine Cat with the Cottage is Caterine, the one with Amusement Park
is Fiorangela, the one with the first kitchen Enya. What a beautiful age...

Funny Story: The guy at LEGO who created Fabuland (his name was actually Joe
Vigman) really liked the first batch of animals they produced. Fabuland was
surprisingly popular so they produced a second wave. Joe didn't like the new
animal molds introduced, the cow, the crow, etc. and decided to design them with
the two in the hip joint. With each subsequent introduction of new animals Joe
put the next number up, secretly ranking his favorite molds.
Actually that's total bull. I have no idea why this number is there. Monica, I'm
curious as to what country you are in. Tony Cat? I thought the animals were
supposed to have names that started with the same letter as their species. Is
this a translation? Because what's funny is in the US, the cat that came with
the Hospital set is Carol Cat. I wonder why she would have a different gender in
another country! Thanks! :)

This is a question I have since the first times I played with Fabuland (more
or less 26 years ago). What's the meaning of the number on the "hinge" of
Fabuland minifigs legs? On the same type of minifigs I found different
numbers (I.E. on Tony Cat from the Hospital I found a 1 and a 4).
Thank you
Monica
