Great minds think alike- Sybrand Bonsma also noted this. I tend to get
carried away with dreaming and often overlook whether something is

A Beagle, or some sort of dog with ears that hang down, I think would have

There is rumored to have been a limited release Theatre set. Anyone have
any more info on it?

Any particular Museum concept/type in mind?
This could be the premise to take Fabuland almost anywhere...
