The dutch word for 'monkey' is 'aap' when changed to 'apie' it get a sweet
nickname-like meaning. Most dutch Fabuland characters have names like this
:-)
While browsing the set database I found that I was wrong - the monkey is not
the one I thought was this is set #3713, while "Apie Japie"is the one with
the cart #3604...
> What was your first Fabuland set? Which is your favorite set?
My first Fabuland set was #329, "Bear and pickup truck" I still have it and
it's by far my favorite character. I don't know his Fabuland name but
Icalled him 'Jantje' after a big cuddly toy-bear I had ;-) I got in that
same year sets #350 "Town hall" and #343 "Cottage".
My favorite sets are #3679 "Mill with Shop" A windmill with a slide! What
more can a dutchie ask for ;-) and I like #3673 "Steamboat" It has great
characters, and the boat is a moving house, great stuff!
Oh, and I also like set #3667 "Bakery Shoppe" I don't know why, I don't have
it - but I remember wanting that set as a kid..

I keep most of my themes seperate, but I don't scare the idea of mixing
themes (I have childhood pictures to prove it!)
I don't have a Fabuland town anymore, I have kept all my figures and some of
the sets I really like. Then I sold some of the parts of the other sets to
Sybrand Bonsma. I figured that parts are there for playing not for storing
and since Sybrand is a Fabuland-nut, they're in good hands! :-)
