Wasn't Chima such a fun, happy place before the war?

I don't know if I trust this Cathy Cat, she seems to be lurking in the shadows. That's some stranger danger right there, no elephant child of mine will be visiting that park anytime soon, no sir.

One has to wonder what in blazes happened to the Bunny tribe.
Wait.
Don't wolves eat bunnies? And there was a wolf tribe...

oh no

Y'know the thing about Cathy Cat, she's got... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When she comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'... until she bites ya. And those black eyes roll over white, and then... oh, then you hear that terrible high-pitch screamin', the playground turns red, and spite of all the poundin' and the hollerin', they all come in and they... rip you to pieces.

Fabuland is the most cursed LEGO theme. But the MOCs featuring Fabuland characters in post-apocalyptic landscapes are winners every time.

I readily accept the headcanon that Chima is a sequel to Fabuland

We’re gonna need a bigger slide

I just realised the Fabuland animations (Edward and Friends) are on youtube... when I was little I was confused how they made Edward the elephant's trunk etc move, when plastic is stiff, but now it is clear they were all clay replicas, not actual Lego figures :-)

Soooo cute. I loved Fabuland and it was the only Lego I owned. I got to play with our town sets but they were shared as kids and my brother inherited all of them.
Also, some of these comments are soooo creepy. Ima gonna have nightmares.

I cannot express my fondness of Fabuland by words. It's so pretty and nostalgic. Sadly I don't have a single set. It's compatibility with standart system parts offers so much possibilities.

Those coments here are a bit too harsh... Fabuland is easily one of the cutest themes ever released by LEGO. I just love the peaceful and fun atmosphere that those sets have.

Beats the Sesame Street set.

I love fabuland to this day, such underrated theme!

Cathy Cat looks a bit strange as she is the only real figure behind the plastic tray rather than a picture. At the time Fabuland was seen as a step in-between Duplo and Lego City for ages 3 to 6, so as this age bracket had little alternatives I thought the theme would last forever, and was sad when it stopped in 89 after a 10 year run. Most of the sets were simple vehicles, but the large ones were interesting, I remember the paddle steamer, grocery store and amusement fair from nursery. Now if only my parents had brought me these sets, hidden in the attic and forgotten to give to me, I would have a gold mine. It would be really ironic now if TLG paid a licence to do Peppa Pig!

I was having a chat on my lug forum about how this set is a bit odd because the characters are meant to be adults so what are they doing in a kiddie playground. This lead to a theory that Fabuland was actually a nursery school and all the shops/cars/accessories etc were role play equipment.
They weren't adults living busy lives - they were 3 year olds in the 'home corner'.

(Chima obviously the teen years)
