Hello, Sheree. I was fortunate enough to have been "into" LEGO back when
Fabuland was new. I was unfortunate enough to have not had the money necessary
to acquire many of the sets I'm now seeking through eBay. However, I have
found the Brickshelf catalog scans extremely useful for identifying the
elements I missed - and to give me a list of those I need (very few, now). I'm
not sure what it is you are asking for, here. I can say that there are tens,
maybe a couple of hundred, different pieces that are part of the original
release of Fabuland. I say 'original' because it appears that many of the
detail pieces are showing up in newly released sets. One that caught me by
surprise is the birdcage currently offered in the Belville Castle set(s). I
thought it was a brand new piece, only later to find it was initially released
in about 1986. A few pieces, like the Fabuland shovel (which has the Fabuland
name/logo molded into its face) and the pipe wrench have shown up in Technic
sets. However, I do not expect the majority of Fabuland pieces to re-appear
this way. They were just too specialized, and - for those who make comments
about "Juniorization" - were 'juniorized' to help move younger kids from Duplo
to Clasic LEGO - more play with less building skills. I guess I've rambled on
enough for now. If you have specific requests or any other comments, you can
write me at "eskimo2@worldnet.att.net". I'd be happy "converse" off-line.
