Monopoly: Iron will be retired

[dauna]

The iron was my guess on what piece would be retired.  Kind of sad to see it go, but the cat is CUTE!

I think the original Monopoly in perfect condition right now goes for quite a bit of money. Because they have made so many "special" boards in the last few years the original is one of a kind. If you have the first Monopoly fully in tact with the iron and all other pieces for sure it will be worth more. Although since there are tons of people all around the world still with originals I doubt it will be worth a good amount of money. On another note i'd rather the iron. I don't like cats personally. If they wanted a change why not just add something or chose something completely "new". There is already a "dog" in the game so what is so different about having a "cat" there. I would have rather a globe on a base of course. It signifies all the world considering it is a universal game. But that is just me and the "cat" is already being circulated, lol.

never was the iron like race car or ship no big deal for me.

The cat would not have been my first choice but it could be worse.  I have always used the man on the horse or the shoe. 

Thanks jorhea for the history!

not sure but i will miss the iron

Who knows if people will pay a lot of money for the iron - its possible.  It will be considered a collectors item I am sure because there are certainly people who love monopoly so much they already collect monopoly "stuff" lol.  Maybe I better run out and buy some games that are left with irons in them.

what happens when you play the animated monopoly when you the dog and the cat lands near it this is just strange we don't need to change a 100 year old game
