Some may think, "How cute, that bunny is helping," but in reality, it is her indentured servant. It suffers and is about to be drenched in cold water and zapped with a spell for trying to sneak a meal. The Good Fairy may be kind to humans, but she is a hypocrite.
Have we seen the evil counterpart of 5824?
Oh, hey, it's the scary fairy, here to sell you paper towels.

Always catches me off guard that the carrot elements are this old.
I didn’t become aware of them until 10185 Green Grocer in 2008, they were nearly a decade old by then but only appeared in Belville and Scala type sets.
It’s the return of the roof piece! Bwaahahaha.
Is that watto flying there?
It's less of a house and more like a gazebo, really.
@JavaBrix: What always catches me out is being reminded that a piece originated with Fabuland. Pssibly because, while the line came out a year before I was born, and was still around well after I got into Lego, but I don't remember ever seeing it on store shelves, only finding out about the line once the Internet Age started. I wondered what was with the shovel in 5510 for years.

I shoot it with a +3 arrow.
more like Blue Goo fairy
Would be better off not knowing what the fairy looked like, in my opinion.

There is now a gazebo with an arrow sticking out of it.

Of course not, it's a gazebo. A gazebo! If you really want to try to destroy it, you could try to chop it with an axe, I suppose, or you could try to burn it, but I don't know why anybody would even try. It's a gazebo!

It's too late. You've awakened the gazebo.
It catches you and eats you.
In a shocking crossover with Ninjago, looks like the fairy is really the Elemental Master of Moon and has gone into her NRG form!
If the comments are any indication, this is now the D&D add-on set everyone was asking for.
I Beliville a worthy successor to Clikits?

Correct! https://brickset.com/article/57363/scala-s-legacy
I actually didn't know about this one. I guess I never bothered to dig into the catalog for the era of Belville I was somewhat familiar with already. That said... I'm a bit whelmed. It's fine, but nothing too crazy for Belville standards. Nice economical size I guess.

Belville was there before Clickets. Belville was there after Clickets. Belville is eternal (until it wasn't).

If you're looking at release order, you're absolutely right. Yet, I was thinking more about RSOTD impact! The inspiration! The joy that fills our hearts when we see a clikits set! The cult!

Well, I'm just glad to save some money on paper towels. Gee, thanks, Dave.

Most food parts are too big for minifigs because they were made for Belville and Scala.

Clearly you’ve never seen the kind of produce that comes out of Alaska’s Matanuska-Susitna Valley. Here. Yes, that’s a cabbage that has to be transported on a NA-standard pallet, which is bigger than an EU-standard pallet, and two zucchinis that are the size of a small adult’s legs:

Holy moly, the baguette is from 1982?
Then it stands to reason that, somewhere on Brickset, there's an Evil Fairy's House.

Plot twist: Watto IS the evil fairy! That would make 7186 The Evil Fairy's House! It all fits!
But hey, that's just a theory.
A LEGO THEORY!

That! But there was also a 12-year gap between its use in 1982 (Fabuland) and 1994 (Belville) and then 7 years again between 2003 (Belville) and 2010 (Winter Village & City)!

It's little bunny Froo Froo's punishment.

What the Good Fairy doesn't realise is that the rabbit is digging a shallow grave with that blue shovel. She'd better watch her back.

"Uh, it's the Blue Fairy."
"Same thing."

Can you call it a shack or something else than a house?
I don't recall the Blue Fairy from Pinocchio (the animated 1940 Disney one, not the creepy later ones) looking like this...
I see the relationship now! She’s a Smurf!

Well, then clearly she’s from one of the later ones.
