Monorails Back on Track?

We found an interesting article at Vinylmation Kingdom today. According to their source, "some Monorails cast chasers will start appearing in trade boxes around the parks." This would be a very interesting development since we were lead to think the Monorail series was discontinued after seeing this auction at Mickey's Circus:


Three of the Monorails in the never released series seen above are said to be the Cast Chasers. You can see a picture of them and read the original article here.

At Mickey's Circus, Disney would neither confirm nor deny the end of the Monorails series. My opinion has always been positive toward this new platform... if it was used correctly. As popular as the Cars franchise is, it seemed like an odd move making the first set entirely Cars themed. Don't get me wrong, the artwork was fantastic and I picked up a few, but the set did not make as big an impact as a Disney Parks themed set would have. I would have also enjoyed some movie variety in a set. I would be thrilled to see this platform still used, even if it is just for some special combos, LEs and traders here and there.
