Posted by Huwbot,
Today's random set is 3794 Police Motorcycle, released in 1985. It's one of 17 Fabuland sets produced that year. It contains 14 pieces and 1 minifig, and its retail price was US$3.35.
It's owned by 186 Brickset members. If you want to add it to your collection you might find it for sale at BrickLink or eBay.

Sure, he's a police dog looking for bandit bear... or so with think. This is a crooked cop in league with that bandit. Fabuland might as well be lawless and in a state of anarchy.
It's a bulldog on a motorcycle. I think that's pretty scary.
Chima ruined this, though. He should have a giant transforming bulldog robot.
My family had this set 324 : Ricky Racoon on his Scooter , so was he Wanted for 6 years?
Or maybe it's Roger driving too fast : 3626: Roger Racoon and his Sports Car
I would have lost my mind if this guy showed up in LEGO City Undercover.
Huh. He's riding around on a scooter, with a Wanted poster mounted to the back? I think mounting a gigantic PA speaker to the roof of a squad car might be more effective.
LEGO Paw Patrol
Is it just me or does the lighting make that bulldog cop look like he has a peg leg?

That makes sense. By LEGO logic, raccoons should automatically be the bad guys in Fabuland because they’re wearing masks. Also zebras are criminals because they have prison stripes, just like every crook in LEGO City.
Gotta love that illegal connection for the wanted poster tile on a police motorcycle. Careful Officer Bulldog, Internal Affairs agents have been asking about you! Unless Fabuland IS a dominion of chaos and anarchy?
@TeriXeri Who framed Roger Racoon? haha If I remember correctly the Richard Scary books used to have a racoon crook who was always destroying things.
The police bulldog is pretty funny, Id like to see a new Fabuland theme with minfig scale animals, yes, like Chima, but like these original Fabuland sets recreating life in a peaceful village sometime between the wars. (the cars in Fabuland looked about the 1920s to me, which Id love to see redone thesedays as I love old cars!)

Good catch on that illegal connection.
It makes me wonder how many other officially released Lego sets have illegal connections.
Well, 560-2 Police Heliport, for one.
I'm not so sure tiles attached perpendicular between studs is considered an illegal connection. Plates between studs on the other hand is illegal.
He’s got a puncture.

@darkstonegrey:
It's not an illegal connection. Tiles are allowed. The lack of studs means they can be fully seated without having to shift them to either side so the studs are staggered. More importantly, though, tiles are just a _TINY_ bit thinner than plates, so they fit between the studs a little easier.
A cop that is also a furry animal? It’s quite literally the fuzz!
Better than Chase McCain anyway.
I have the earlier version that's basically the the same but without the road blocks.
I also have the police station and police car. So I have 3 Constable Bulldogs who have no first names. I probably gave them names but I can't remember what they were.
I think I have this somewhere.
Somehow I have that scooter in red. Hope that Fabuland will return someday.
LOL should have been a pig

At least it's not Duke Detain, the Chase McCain ripoff that appears in almost every City Police set.
I have the bike but sadly not the figure.
