A Nostalgic Tribute to Fabuland
The LEGO Fabuland theme, first introduced in 1979, was a story-driven LEGO series that featured anthropomorphic animal characters in a whimsical town setting. The theme ran until 1989, making it one of LEGO’s longest-running themes. It served as a bridge between DUPLO and traditional LEGO System sets before the introduction of the 4+ age category.
“Creating stories is at the core of LEGO House, and celebrating the most iconic moments in time throughout the LEGO Group’s history is key to the concept of our exclusive products,” said LEGO House Managing Director Kathrine Kirk Muff. “On a personal note, I played a lot with the original Fabuland sets, and I am filled with nostalgia and excitement to see my childhood memories being brought back to life.”
The 40506 Fabuland Tribute set is the sixth installment in the LEGO House exclusive series, and it highlights Fabuland’s enduring influence on LEGO storytelling themes, such as NINJAGO, Friends, and BIONICLE.
“Each year, I find great joy in creating the LEGO House exclusive set together with Markus and everyone at the Idea House and LEGO House,” added Stuart Harris. “Fabuland holds a very sentimental place in my heart. You can really see the influence it had on the storytelling themes of future series from the LEGO Group.”
For fans eager to relive Fabuland’s charm, the LEGO House 2025 Fabuland Tribute (40506) is a must-have addition to their collection. What do you think of this next LEGO House exclusive?
