Best. Set. Ever.
(From a certain point of view.)
No, I don't need a ride anywhere, I'm comfortable walking, thank you...
Nice ride you've got there. can i take it for a spin?
That expression and pose!
Looks like he was intending to steal the car. and discovered there is a video recorder aimed right at him.
So, would this be a rat rod?
@PurpleDave: At least a rat's rod, unless @MeisterDad is right about the picture.
If this was a Chima set, the roadster would immediately turn into a giant mouse-themed robot and begin smashing things.
Is this all that Lego does, now?
Wow look at that big block 2x4 engine :P
@NotProfessorWhymzi:
Depends. It certainly wouldn't qualify as a spyder, but the term roadster has grown to include 2-seater ragtops.

stealing? I'm just testing seat warmers! what this car doesn't have such a things?
Speedy?!?!? What are are ya' doing with a car??? And where's your hat???:)
No no, it’s Mr Toad who likes cars, Ratty likes boats! This Wind in the Willows theme needs another testing
Initial Fabuland sets are crude but in later years sets got a lot better. The figure looks great though.
And here we see a brave Fabutron-trooper repossessing a derelict vehicle for a greater purpose. Good work, son. You have a bright future ahead of you, although I'm not sure how we're going to fit a helmet over that colossal noggin of yours.
Does Animal Crossing have cars? I think not.
...unless you count Mario Kart, I guess.
A classic, its value steadily rising.

Sure is. You have a problem with that?

Starting to look like a furry convention.
Looking to make some roadkill out of people in revenge for his family
This not having the distinctive grille and roof piece introduced a year later doesn't really do it any favors. Other than that, Fabuland will always be cool! And a bit creepy at times...
I had 328, the European release of this set in my childhood, but the whereabouts of Mr Michael Mouse are unfortunately a mystery lost to the mists of time.

Is the goal at a furry convention to finely balance attraction and revulsion whilst completing a Jungian jungle introspection?

You can buy cars in Animal Crossing, you just can’t ride them.
Awesome! Animal Crossing theme is finally getting vehicles.

I’m assuming this whole conversation is in jest given this set is well over 40 years old? It can hardly be considered what Lego is doing -now-

Egad, there are no ostentatious electric plug stickers or printed pieces anywhere on this set, as is mandatory in other Lego vehicles. Does that mean the rats of Fabuland drive without considering their carbon footprint? It's just more evidence that despite all the bright colors, Fabuland is truly a wretched hive of scum and villainy.

It's just funny because, at one point, the BS page had Animal Crossing at the top followed by 3 articles that included big-headed animal figs culminating with this one.
I wanted this as a kid, and now I want it even more lol
