Revealed: 40506 LEGO® Fabuland® Tribute exclusive set from LEGO® House

LEGO® House have just released details of their 2025 exclusive set, 40506 LEGO® Fabuland® Tribute, available only in their shop in Billund, Denmark from March 2025. This children's theme that ran from 1979 to 1989 is greatly loved by LEGO fans of all ages, so we expect this exclusive set will prove popular.

We saw the set in September 2024 at Fan Media Days and finally we can show you those pictures! Edward Elephant, Joe Crow, Dr Lucy Lamb and Clive Crocodile have formed a band and are playing by a tree.

LEGO® House in Billund, Denmark has reopened for 2025, and I went to see what's new! Who better to show it to me than Stuart Harris, the Master Builder at LEGO House. He and the team have been busily refreshing exhibits and play experiences throughout January, including a takeover of LEGO House by the LEGO® Botanicals theme – which I will show you in my second article.

Today, I'm exclusively revealing the new LEGO® FABULAND® displays situated in the History Collection (the official LEGO museum in the basement). Read on to join me in a happy place!

LEGO® FABULAND® Lives On: exquisite but exclusive

Welcome to the fourth article in our LEGO® FABULAND® Lives On series, celebrating the 40th anniversary of this unique LEGO theme from yesteryear.  So far we have looked at Fabuland's introduction of new colours, Fabuland elements that continue to this day and Fabuland's 'hidden side' when elements popped up into other themes. Now, this article focuses on some of the Fabuland elements that were exclusive to, and retired with, this much-loved theme.

For those Fabuland experts out there, I will say that this is not a list of ALL the elements that were exclusive to Fabuland. I picked a selection that I felt were a little special in terms of their attractive or detailed appearance but there are plenty more if you care to look.

LEGO® FABULAND® Lives On: the hidden side

This year marks 40 years since The LEGO Group (TLG) launched the LEGO® FABULAND® theme, which ran until 1989. To celebrate this, we've been running an occasional series of articles here at New Elementary called Fabuland Lives On! We're examining the surprising effect that this theme for 3-7 year olds has had upon the LEGO® System, and the hearts of fans.

So far we have looked at the colours and the elements that are still present in sets today. This third post focuses on some of Elspeth's favourite Fabuland elements that popped up unexpectedly in other themes over the years but sadly are no longer in production; the hidden side of Fabuland.

LEGO® FABULAND® Lives On: the elements

This year marks 40 years since The LEGO Group (TLG) launched the LEGO® FABULAND® theme. In total, 99 Fabuland sets were released from 1979 until 1989, plus the theme featured licensed products such as books, clothing, key rings and – for the first time ever – an animated TV series. To celebrate this, we're examining the surprising legacy that this theme for 3-7 year olds has had upon the elements of the LEGO® System to this day.

We thought it would be interesting to take a look at the influence of this theme by starting off finding some current LEGO elements that started their lives as Fabuland elements.

LEGO® FABULAND® Lives On: the colours

This year marks 40 years since The LEGO Group (TLG) launched the LEGO® FABULAND® theme, which ran from 1979 until 1989. To celebrate this, we're going to run an occasional series of articles here at New Elementary called Fabuland Lives On! We'll examine the surprising legacy that this theme for 3-7 year olds has had upon the elements and colours of the LEGO System, and the hearts of fans. Kicking things off, we have LEGO® colour expert Rylie Howerter.

Note, in a departure from our usual convention for naming colours, in this article we use the TLG official colour ID and name (followed by the more well-known BrickLink name in brackets, where it differs to the official).
