Name checks out. Lucy is indeed a lamb, and that is indeed her bedroom.
What a strange Friends set.

Is it though? It could be someone else’s. Lucy might be breaking and entering for all we know.
This is the first time seeing this kind of set, and I wish I didn’t...
Looks like Lucy sleeps in a feeding trough... Yeah, that's not concerning at all...

The bed looks like a cradle. What did the sheep do to the baby?!

Where's the minifig hiding? Is it under Lucy's bed?
(Yes, I know Fabuland figures get counted as "minifigures" according to some sites. I think it's ridiculous.)
Spent so much money on that crappy mirror she can’t afford to buy food for the pantry…
Ayo how is the plant growing without a pot??
I remember the days when non-vehicle sets came with those 8x16 baseplates.
Sets these days are too bitsy, you know? Little minibuilds here, there, and everywhere, as opposed to everything just fitting comfortably onto a single baseplate. Wouldn't it much harder to keep sets together and organised
Yes, Lucy will be on time for school with her printed clock!
I think I owned this one briefly. I found one in 2014 at a flea market in excellent condition alongside some other Fabuland sets. I distinctly recall that I found out that the yellow plates on the wall were listed wrong on Bricklink, as they listed them as two 2x6 plates (so 3 in total including the table) instead of three 2x4 plates (+ one 2x6 plate for the table). I sent a request for inventory revision. It's correct now, so I guess I either succeeded or I'm misremembering things.
I sold it quickly for a nice sum afterwards. Although I wouldn't have kept it, I kind of feel nostalgic for it a bit now. Those Fabuland sets are just so cute!
Man Huwbot has zoomed through the Fabuland sets. I wonder how many are left for RSOTD.
Huwbot Makes up for the missing RSOTD last week with this gift of Fabuland!
I feel a bit like a voyeur watching lucy lamb combing her hairs in her bedroom. I bet she doesn’t know she’s been watched. What a perverts we are. For shame!

According to the inventory change log it was actually changed from a 2x12 plate to three 2x4 plates in 2014. https://www.bricklink.com/catalogInvChangeItem.asp?itemType=S&itemNo=3636-1&viewDate=Y&viewStatus=1
When Brickset came back online, someone was asking for return of Fabuland. Huwbot says “you’re welcome”.
Is this really Lucy Lamb's bedroom if it doesn't include her signature Slipknot poster?
YAY FABULAND
Thank you huwbot.
I don't have this set (boo) but I do have Lucy Lamb - mine is the original version from the Hospital set. I do have the earlier bedroom set which came with Lisa Lamb. Lisa only had a bed, chair and the dressing table so I assume there was much jealousy between the lamb sisters over having a wall for your bedroom.
I don't like the eyes. They are creepy. The original eyes are much better.
What did they make that mirror out of? Because I can’t help but feel it looks haunted

Indeed. LEGO worlds are rife with criminality, hence the need for so many police sets.
Baseplate included!

Maybe it is a plant in the literal sense, i.e. a 4 armed pet alien creature waiting for Lucy to be distracted before .. well we know how the movie ends.
What is she doing with that very weird looking tennis racket?

It's not a tennis racket. It's a hairbrush https://brickset.com/parts/design-3852
@Brickalili:
It looks like a really thin foil sticker, but any slight imperfections in how it’s applied would result in wrinkles that screw up the mirror effect. Winnie the Pooh has a mirrored sticker like this, but the sticker stock is very thick, which helps the mirrored surface stay flat enough that you could actually use it as a very tiny mirror.
Yikes. Is that an oven at the bottom of the cabinet? Presumably to cook her victims, having bludgeoned them unconscious with her cudgel?? Does she bury the remains in that orange coffin???
I only know Dolly as a famous lamb.

Ah, so that's what it was listed as! Thanks!
Yup, that was my request. I misremembered, but now I'm sure it was listed as a 2x12. It was just such an odd mistake, especially with the seams visible on the box and the impracticality of having such a thin part in a Fabuland set.
As the old saying goes, a printed clock is right twice a day
I love fabuland
Do you suppose Fabuland parents ever feel the urge to give their kids a non-alliterative name, just to be rebels?
i always feel there is something very sinister going on in Fabuland. Its like the entire land were built upon Native American (or other indigenous people) burial grounds or something from a HP Lovecraft small town.

At leat those new roadplates can help!
Another Fabuland set, another reminder of foolish act of "grown up" pride in the day.

- HEADCANON ALERT-
"Gather 'round friends, and hear the Legends of Fabuland..."
The people of Fabuland were once the mutated animals left over from a nuclear war by mini-dolls against mini-figs (or vise-versa, perhaps?) They built their "utopia" on the remains of that civilization, but all is not well in Fabuland! Eventually, three groups of animals emerge as evil oppressors: The Dogs, Crows, and Crocs. This new war set the stage for complete fracturing of their damaged world. This new world was named "Chima", after the powerful substance that started bubbling to the surface during the final phase of the "Last War". New tribes (Gorillas, Eagles, Skunk) would emerge due to exposure to this substance, and some old ones would die (Lamb), or mutate into new ones. (Bears from the former Pandas and Wolves from Dogs, for example) Eventually, they would be visited by fiery Phoenix creatures, distant travelers from a world destroyed by a rouge red star.
However, old habits die hard, and these groups would war again. But that is a tale for another day...
@EvilTwin:
On rare occasion, it might be right three times. And if it is, just as often it will only be right once.
@TheOtherMike:
That appears to be the one law that’s still in effect when Fabuland society collapses into Chima, so probably not.

Now that you mention it... it does look like someone is outside, peeking through poor Lucy's bedroom window. And I always thought those Fabuland sets are so cute.
@TheOtherMike I have Lucy Lamb and 3 Lisa Lambs. I renamed one Lisa to Linda and the other one to...errr... Belinda.
In my defense....I was about 8 years old.
Hmmm...one wall...again...Wow, building materials in Fabuland must be expensive:)
Also this makes me wonder: what do sheep count when they can't sleep...? Maybe they call their relatives?
And lastly, a 'throwback':)
10,000, 000 Years after Lego people: The animals have/are evolving, quadrupeds are walking 'upright', rudimentary 'hands' have shown up, and a sense of 'civilization' has grown...though none have figured out a name for their new fabulous land...
@bookmum: When I was a kid I had two stuffed bears. The smaller one was named Teddy and the bigger one Ted, so you're not alone.
@brick_r:
I mean, to be fair, they are building their houses entirely out of LEGO pieces. Only James May could afford to build the entire house.
In fact, the incredible expense of funding home construction may have even resulted in the collapse of Fabuland society.
