I never saw the Richard Scarry books or Busytown until today. Busytown looks
an *awfully* lot like Fabuland. The book also has an educational as well as a
whimsical feel to it - much like Lego itself. I wouldn't be surprised if this
is where the inspiration for Fabuland came from.

It's very neat stuff - I'm surprised Lego hasn't revisited the idea of
Fabuland; it seems like if the research shows young kids like playing more than
building, Fabuland has a lot to offer.

I guess Lego missed out on licensing (if, indeed, they ever considered it). (...) (25 years ago, 30-Nov-99, to lugnet.fabuland)
