Insights

Released in 1985 and long retired, Paddle Steamer (3673) is a Fabuland boat with exclusive character molds and a distinctive paddle-steamer design, and its limited sealed supply and low remake risk support durable collector interest, while the theme’s niche demand can make trading volumes uneven.

Brickipedia

“In the Fabuland television series Edward and Friends, the paddle steamer included in this set was Wilfred Walrus's favourite mode of transportation. One time, in the Christmas special Christmas in Fabuland, the water where the steamer usually went froze over due to the... More blizzard Edward caused with his weather machine.”

BrickEconomy Member Review

“Set 3673, the Fabuland Steamboat, is a charming throwback to LEGO's 1980s creativity, featuring anthropomorphic characters Walter Walrus and two helpful monkeys. The set includes 61 pieces, such as specialty windows, doors, and a vintage steamboat wheel, though it’s not designed to float despite its whimsical nautical theme.”

About Fabuland

The Fabuland theme included sets that depicted the land of Fabuland and introduced Fabuland Figures, characters with human-like bodies with various animal heads. Fabuland was the first LEGO theme to introduce named characters that focused around a story and was the first LEGO theme to feature licensed products such as storybooks, playing cards, children’s clothing and animated TV series to enhance the playing experience through storytelling and role play. The FABULAND figures have heads of a mammal, a reptile or a bird sometimes topped by a peaked hat, and arms and legs with motion very similar to LEGO minifigures.

Summary

Fabuland Paddle Steamer set 3673 was released in September 1985, retailing for $23, but has since been retired. New, unopened Paddle Steamer sets are valued at $419, while used sets can be found for $63 in good condition.
