LEGO lore episode #17 Monorail
One of the perennial requests that come from long-term LEGO fans is to bring back the monorail. Year in and year out, the request is made at conventions to LEGO representatives, and year in and year out, the company’s reply is the same: “We are not currently planning a monorail.” It has almost become a badge of honor for a visiting designer to get the question—to the point that asking the questions has become more of a cultural phenomenon rather than a sincere request.Of course, there are a number of reasons why monorail from the 80s and 90s is likely never going to make a comeback. The molds and the motor aren’t available anymore because they were produced by a contractor that no longer exists. There would be massive up-front expenses in recreating all of those things.
