This is what I always use.

Themed ones like that never interested me. I prefer ones that alter gameplay in a major way, like the super sized one or the "modern" one with million dollar bills and such.

Need one with the battleship saying "BOOM" :v:
don't remove the iron (see I'm thinking of you ladies)
They will still sell versions with the original pieces
They'll just be called 'Classic Edition' and cost and extra $10 or something
I figured they were doing this because they found out if they make one less piece then they can save 7 million a year or some shit, but then I saw they're replacing it
So now I have to ask..... Why? Must be a marketing thing
Get rid of the stupid thimble or iron.
[QUOTE=Noss;39158064]How do these guys still make money from the game? Surely everyone who will ever own Monopoly already has the game.[/QUOTE]
I'm now in college, about to move out on my own. Sure, my parents own it, but do I have my own copy?
There's plenty of reasons. Also there are definitely enough people out there that probably have bought every version in existence, to keep them in business.
top hat is for sassy people do not remove
save the hats 2013

Of course it's a marketing thing, else they would have picked themselves.
[QUOTE=Cheat_God;39158242]Does noone else besides me remember the moneybags? I have that piece in the set I have, whatever happened to that? :([/QUOTE]
Best boardpiece ever.

I get to be the Top hat or I refuse to play.
I think the Moneybag might have been a special piece, because I do remember having it in one of my many Monopoly sets at one point.
Also
Keep Top Hat
Lose Iron
Gain Helicopter

The thimble and tophat go together,
keep iron (reprezent)
lose wheelbarrow
acquire helicopter
Whatever happened to the cannon?

Yeah I remember having a cannon and a jockey
Got a set for christmas, and they've taken away the fucking cannon.
Give us it back, you fuckers!
What replaced the cannon?

Nevermind, I don't know.
Think it was nothing.
I play as the dog with the top hat on

The money bag was in the ones between 1999 and 2007.
Helicopter or Robot, I can't decide
why do they have to do this? They're staples. Removing one and adding a new one is dumb and won't change a thing.
like this if you ever put the thimble on your fingers/thumb
We never had the money bag
We had the English version, and we had
Hat
Boot
Car
Ship
Dog
Jockey on horse on hind legs
Iron (because domestics)
Cannon
Thimble
and maybe a wheelbarrow but I'm not sure about that
