New Monopoly tokens. Do you like?



We'd been hearing for a while that the thimble, the boot and the wheelbarrow were all on the way out. Now the replacements have been named: the T-rex, the penguin and the rubber ducky.

Are you pleased with this "upgrade"???

That one didn't hold much popularity either, as I recall.

I always wanted the race car.

Can you buy the new tokens separately? I want to play Monopoly again just so I can use that token.

I suspect the folks at Hasbro will only make those tokens available in new editions of the game.

I do like them, but I kinda think the penguin and ducky are too much alike.
I want a unicorn! (isn't there a kitty one now?)
We have a really old set, so I don't know what the new pieces are anymore.

But i bet everyone would want to be the T-rex just to look like they are stomping all over the houses and hotels!!
