Go visit (URL) and tell us what you'd do so that LEGO makes and/or releases Monorail sets again ! Terry (21 years ago, 29-May-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Although I've already submitted my entry for your Top 10 (btw thanks for thinking my previous entries were (very) funny), I secretly, and very selfishly, hope that TLC will not re-release momorail. I've spend way too much money on monorail (...) (21 years ago, 29-May-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) Ah, but if you're actually running your monorail, I would think that selfishly you would want it to come back into production so that you can continue to get replacements. Of course this is why I have purchased several extra motors... (I also (...) (21 years ago, 29-May-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) True. I will have to agree with Paul though. I know it is quite selfish, but I like thinking that three of the sets I have are worth so much more than I originally paid for them. I have two 6990s (one of which was free) and one 6399. I need to (...) (21 years ago, 29-May-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) VERY unlikely that it'll happen... LEGO didn't produce everything themselves and all tools are gone or so we were told. This has been discussed a few times before. But IF monorail were to return, I'd much rather see new things... the 6399 was (...) (21 years ago, 29-May-03, to lugnet.trains)

(...) <snip> (...) All bets are off WRT to the "momorail" ;-), but as far as monorail goes, Brad Justus was asked point-blankedly what the chances were that TLC would rerelease the monorail, and his answer was 0%. All parts specs for the motor are (...) (21 years ago, 29-May-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Joining in here, I don't get why it's so hard for Lego to make a new monorail. Can't they just put together a new spur gear system (And give the cars real couplers while they're at it)? Doesn't seem like it'd be that hard. -Stefan- (21 years ago, 30-May-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Yeah, momorail is funny :). Anyway, the only thing they need to design is the track wheel. All other parts thy have, a 9V motor, a battery box, and technick gears. They'd have to make 1 part that is a regular technik gear, with attached the (...) (21 years ago, 30-May-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) So it sounds like you're still building your monorail collection. Just think of how much moolah you'd save next year if they re-released a compatible monorail set. How soon were you planning to take advantage of that resale value anyway? My (...) (21 years ago, 30-May-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) I know, I'm not selling (maybe a few stray pieces here and there), but I think I'll stop buying soon. I just like to think that when I ever indure hard times, I have something to fall back on. Of course, monorail would be about the last thing (...) (21 years ago, 30-May-03, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Wow. This is selfish! I too am spending many hundreds of $ for my monorail sets, but I still hopw LEGO will come out with a monorail equivalent someday because I really like the products. I totally understand your despair of eventually see the (...) (21 years ago, 30-May-03, to lugnet.trains)
