This miniature model of the California Disneyland park is remarkable in it's detail! It contains the smallest details of every attraction in the park. It is made of quality resin materials and also includes LED lighting, & a working Z gauge train which circles the park just as it does at Disneyland. This is not an exact scale model, as many of the major attractions such as the Castle, Matterhorn, Big Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, & Small World are larger than the parts of the park in which they appear. This was done so that they could reveal even more architectural detail while giving the overall model a more playful appearance. Each of the parts of the model are featured in one of 100 special magazines which show where the corresponding parts should be placed in the model. Even though the magazines are printed completely in Japanese, it is easy enough for the non Japanese reader to assemble the model just by following the illustrations. I recommend this model to anyone who is a serious Disney fan and collector of Disneyana.Read full review

Buying the complete set at one time is the only way to go. The set was originally issues a few pieces per "issue", requiring you to buy 100 issues before completing the set. Not really practical. This way, you get all the parts, including the frame, base, and wiring harness. The only drawback is the instructions are printed in Japanese. While following the photos makes the assembly fairly easy, there are a few fine points that can get missed. Warning: go thru all the base parts. There was a revision to one of the sections, and an updated base part was included in a later issue (dealing with hole alignment.) This set was obviously designed by someone who loves and appreciates Disneyland, both past and present, and little details, like Walt's Light" are included. Definitely a showcase piece.
