Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was amazed to see the negative reviews for the Disney monorail, however, I do agree that the current version is not necessarily suitable for small children as parts are easy to take off and the figures are very small. But for ADULT collectors, this is a wonderful model and older versions and accessories have become VERY collectable - I've seen the original Epcot Spaceship Earth (the one where the monorail can pass right through) selling for $300 and the Polynesian Resort for around $500. Monorail Purple is rare, so fetches good three-figures sums also.
As for the person who said the box shows six cars, but the set contains five ... the six car picture is a photograph of the real thing; however, the box has windows and you can clearly see that the model has five units - so unless you bought it with your eyes closed, you can hardly complain!
If you are going to set this up, you do need quite a lot of space - 61" x 49" needed for the basic set.
I have four sets - Black, Red, Gold and Blue (Blue being one of the new versions with opening doors) - and additional track. I know a lot of people run these as part of their Christmas displays and videos of some layouts can be seen on You Tube.
So, in summary, a great toy for older children (think ages 11 and above, rather than the 4+ suggested on the box) and a great collector item for adult Disney or rail fans.
