Would a girl like this playset? Does it hold up? I wonder if I should get this to go with the castle...from Santa of course?

I can help here, the colors are Red, Purple, Black, Gold, Yellow, Blue and Green. Only the green is still available, this one and the blue are the "new" versions with removable doors and roofs, unfortunately a crummy design flaw as they "remove" themselves when you breathe on them, are very small so would be easily lost and of course not fit for small children who could ingest them. Oh, and if you REALLY want the comprehensive list, there are also the powder blue set that cam with the long-retired Golden Gate Bridge Monorail playset from Disney's California Adventure (probably the most coveted of all these sets) and the Paradise Pier Mini Monorail set also from DCA. This one is unique as it's only a 2 car setup, the support beams for the track are half as tall and the cool part, each beam is pre-cut for "connectors" that will activate your rides like Dumbo, Mad Tea party or Astro Orbiter etc. Also the shpeal the voice box says is tailored for DCA. There was also the super rare Silver set that was an LE 250 at the Disneyana convention only in 2002 if memory serves. This usually commands in excess of $500!
You can still find most all of these retired pieces on the secondary market, ask me and I'd be happy to help, I love talking to "newbies" about my favorite collectibles
