® House Home Of The Brick™ - Fabuland® Tribute 40506

The set (40506), which is exclusive to LEGO House, is designed by LEGO House Master Builder Stuart Harris, and LEGO Senior Designer, Markus Rollbühler. Collaborating with the team of historians at LEGO Idea House, the new set pays homage to the beloved characters Edward Elephant, Joe Crow, Dr Lucy Lamb and Clive Crocodile from the original 1980’s product line, re-imagined in line with modern LEGO design principles.

“It’s truly one of the highlights of my year, seeing what Stuart and the team of historians bring forward as the annual LEGO House Exclusive product” says Kathrine Kirk Muff, Managing Director at LEGO House.

“This year, we’re paying tribute to the history of storytelling with the Fabuland exclusive product. 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. 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”.

She continues, “Creating that unique keepsake for our guests that travel from across the globe to be here, in the form of an exclusive product, is a crucial part of the full LEGO House offering for fans and something they can continue to build at home, keeping the memories alive”.

The Fabuland® Tribute is the sixth in the series of LEGO House Special Edition sets. The inaugural set was The Wooden Duck followed by The Brick Moulding Machine, Dagny Holm - Master Builder, A Minifigure Tribute and lastly the LEGO Building Systems in 2024.

These LEGO House Exclusive sets can only be purchased in the LEGO Store in LEGO House, Billund.

The history of LEGO Fabuland:

Introduced in 1979, Fabuland® was a completely new type of LEGO play theme. Set in a charming animal world, Fabuland was the first LEGO theme to combine the creativity of the LEGO System in Play with elements of creative storytelling.

A unique part of the Fabuland universe was the building instructions. Like all other LEGO sets, many Fabuland sets came with specialized building instructions - but the instructions for the sets included a short story in which the characters were shown building the set - and of course having fun doing it.

The instructions from this sixth set in the LEGO House Exclusive series is no different and comes with illustrations as part of the building instructions, created using original drawings by LEGO House Associate Master Builder, Didac Perez. These instructions are separated by character, so that the set can be built character-by-character, alone or with friends and family.

After a decade the Fabuland theme was discontinued in 1989, until now when it has been revived in the form of 2025’s Exclusive LEGO House product, paying tribute to the art of storytelling through the much-loved team of characters from Fabuland.
