> 1) When did you "discover" Fabuland?
When my parents gave my sister and me some Fabuland sets, around
1980-1982.
Let's see.. I have 132 Cottage (1979), 3629 Barney Bear (19??), 3635
Bonnie Bunny's Camper (1981), and 3669 Fire & Police Station (1982)
> 2) Are you interested in Fabuland as a theme or are you interested in

> theme(s)? how?
I think it was a great theme, perfect for a particular age group. It
was the only LEGO product which my sister ever liked. (She liked to play
with the figures and recreate the stories from the instructions, whereas
I preferred to build the sets.)
> 3) Favorite Fab-element(s)? why?
I don't have very many Fabuland elements, given the small assortment of
Fabuland sets in my collection. But I do like the car plates with
attached wheels. Especially the old Fabuland ones with hooks, although
the Mickey ones are usable too.
I like the motorcycle (as seen in set 3669), too.
> 4) Favorite Fab-Figure(s)? why?
I'm not very familiar with them, since I only have a half dozen or so,
but I liked the racoon from 3669.
> 5) Do you have a Signature Figure, a Fab-Figure that you personally identify
> with? why?
I tend to identify with the mouse from 132. My sister identifies with
the cat from that set.
> 5) Favorite Set(s)? why?
Of the sets I had as a child, I always liked 132 and 3669, because I
like building structures more than vehicles.
I particularly liked 3669 Fire & Police Station. I remember enjoying
the story in the instructions, and I liked the motorcycle and the
antenna.
> 6) What is the most unusual/interesting Fabuland item you have ever seen or
> heard about?
I'm not very familiar with Fabuland stuff.
> 7) Are you predominately interested in collecting or building? or ?
For Fabuland, I mostly am interested in collecting. For LEGO in
general, I prefer building. (mostly castles)
> 8) Do you mix your Fabuland with other "stuff"?
I haven't yet. My Fabuland sets have yet to go through the sorting
process. They're still in an old red LEGO plastic box. (the 782/783
suitcase style)
> 9) If you could magically and instantly receive one Fabuland Figure or
> element, what would it be?
The umbrella base from 132. Mine was broken when I was around 5 (I
think it went through a vacuum cleaner) and at that time I didn't know
you could get replacements from LEGO.
> 10) If TLC reissued one more Fabuland element(not a figure!), what would you
> desire it to be and in what color?
No idea.
> 11) Do you own any of the Mickey Mouse sets?
My girlfriend has the fire engine and birthday party sets.
> 12) Would you ever put a Fab-Fig in a Jack Stone vehicle? (uh... the small
> headed ones do fit..)
That would involve having a Jack Stone vehicle. Why would I want to?
> 13) How would you define Fabuland or Fabuland style? [a question put to me
> by knowledgable others once upon a time...]
Fabuland consists of story-based construction toys featuring
animal-based characters. It features easy-to-build designs utilizing a
mix of basic LEGO building blocks and larger stylized building elements.
