Who knows if they make another monorail system with power functions?It might be a little large for the 4 wide monorail,but who knows ,I think the lego company has listened well to the adult fan of lego.
The guest speaker at brickfest talked about the Lego brand name and what it meant ,kind of dry material but I found it intresting ,the way they've decided to market themselves,the guy thought GALIDOR was going to do well,he said it would have if Mattel had made it.They changed the name of DUPLO a while back ,called it Education instead,sales plummetted 40%,same brick different name ,people didnt associate with the Lego brand.
Anyways he also said they cut down from 14000 elements to 6800 to be more profitable,no one off or juniorized pieces,each piece has to have a two fold purpose.So they might come back with more monorail sometime.maybe thats what the indy mine track is about?
OH yeah, looks like the artwork for the three picks could be lego universe theme areas originally.MOnorail would be nice though.
