(...) (snip) (...) I agree mike- $79 is a bit low for a set of that size. However, I think a push version would sell fine- after all, no batteries for parents to buy. Hell, i'd be happy if they would sell the track again, and build my own (push or (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) I am sure that there are enough of the non-lugnet public that have purchased any of the monorail sets when they were first out, or that have purchased the monorail motors on e-bay. So in that respect I think there are more of the general (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.dear-lego)

| | Bulk Bricks Availability

Dear Lego, I was working on an idea to build sculpture models using the bulk bricks available from Shop@Home. I wanted to make the same design in different colors. However, when I looked at the availability of the parts, I was really dismayed to (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jan-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.dear-lego)

Hi All, From what i have heard, the main problem with the monorail sets is that the motors cannot be made anymore. Why not re-release it unpowered? There are enough smart folks here that could likely jury rig something if they wanted to, and share (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jan-02, to lugnet.dear-lego)
