Interesting Fabuland part

Post by Ye Olde Republic »

Now that I'm building all these castle village type things I'm learning about some of the parts I'd never known existed. Somebody mentioned that they had a light grey Fabuland mallet and I went looking for it. It's a nice piece, but I also found a very cool saw. A saw is something I've been trying to make from parts but hey, if they make a decent one, I'll take that. For those of you who are like me and don't really know what's out there, here's a link:

Trust me, I think I'm funnier than you do.
Why do I have to add the word "minifig" to my spell checker every time I use it?!

Nice. Except for the Yellow aspect... And the fact that only the European stores have it. :(

Fabuland is an old line that was geared towards younger kids in the 80's. A lot of cool parts started there such as the ladle, the cauldron, harry potters broom, a giant pick ax, and of course the mallet and the saw! The problem is they are a little larger scale.

I have 3 of the light grey hammers. I think they are formidable looking weapons in the right mini-figs hands. :twisted:

You can also look for this set

It has the saw and the hammer! I think there is even one available in the US.

Here's a site all about Fabuland.

The theme has several useful castle parts. The oversize (for a minifig) axe is my favourite.

I also think the fabuland parts are great. Hopefully I can get some of the rare ones one day. I really like Jojo's use of them:

Thanks for the link, Ben. Jojo, you are a wonder! I like the creative (and more accurate) style of harness, and that spinning wheel! Amazing!

Naw, I'm not.

But Fabuland has really cool parts for several purposes:

That's the pickax. Quite a martial looking tool in the hand of a black warrior.
