So uh, I guess we know where the dairy comes from...
I'm so sorry...
I'm not sorry
You know it’s a fancy shop because there’s and extra “p” and an “e” at the end
Oh I have always wanted this one. Only 36 pieces but it's so simple and wonderful.
Although had I owned this the large sticker on the blue bricks would have most likely met the terrible fate of being unstuck - so I could build something different with the bricks - and the sticker would have disappeared into the unknown along with the ones I did own (the hospital sign, the taxi sign, Catherine Cat's window flowers). Unsticking stickers...what a fool I was when I was 6. Sigh....
I like it. Basic, but not that bad overall.
Inb4 something about Clara being an alternate reality Anna
Today my mom was cleaning out a closet and found an old Znap set (3510). I really thought I'd gotten rid of it years ago.

... it must've come back.
Harry didn't make quite enough selling ice cream to the cows it came from, so he had to take a second job in a glue factory.
My thought progression:
Wait horses don’t give milk.
Milk comes from the udder one.
Did I seriously just think that...
Ooh, I love the triporteur.
I have it!
Its really weird how little accesories these sers had.
It has just two cups and no icecream machine!
Ice cream's made of milk...
cows produce milk...
oh...oh dear god no

Now THAT is a deep-cut creative interjection if I ever heard one
I know I’ve said it before, but I’d love a minifig scale Fabuland return. Come on Lego, some of those Vidiyo moulds will do...
^ Not only the minifigs, I wish the whole series returns. Yet there is Sylvanian families, I don't know if Fabuland will work. It will for me.
Nice variety: Fabuland, Classic Space, Ninjago, Scala, Life on Mars, Clikits, and Studios all in one week, no repeated themes. Thanks, Huwbot! You're on a roll, keep it up.
Edit: I guess Space was repeated, but the two spaceships are a whole fifteen years apart and from quite different subthemes.
Blue mugs.
This was one of my favorite Fabuland sets. The choice of characters is top notch here. A cow and a horse running an ice cream shop, Lego is the best!
If Lego could bring Fabuland back, that'd be... well, fabulous.
“Shoppe”? What, is this supposed to be one of the original 1600s era ice cream parlours?
To me, the biggest problem with this set is definitely the lack of ice cream.
Without actual ice cream it's just a Korova Milk Bar
Fabuland x Animal Crossing plz

Umm... Horses give milk.
I scream: ‘an icecream shop(pe) without icecream.’
In an upside down world a horse behind the cart rather than in front. I guess the cups could be milkshakes as really miss not having any Lego lollipop sticks back then. Strange they didn't do any printed ice-cream tiles or bricks to fill the cart with and give Harry something to peddle.

Reminds me of the Chicken Lady Blind Date sketch from Kids In The Hall.
Harry hit something with his vehicle. The dead body is still stuck to the front.
@560heliport:
Not _male_ horses...
That's an interesting ice cream steam roller that Harry is driving.

There's a joke to be made here but I'm just gonna shut up before I gross myself out.

The statement was "Wait horses don't give milk." So my response is just as correct- or incorrect. :)
Fabuland introduced so many parts...
...that we don’t need.

"I swear to Ole Kirk i thought this was Duplo. Just seems like the scale’s out of whack. Must be the photography."
I had much the same thought. Must be the big doors.
Not much to say that hasn't been exhausted already.
