Sheridan Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Monopoly is replacing one of the tokens on the board and they're asking people to vote for which one. KEEP THE SCOTTIE! https://www.facebook...?ref=ts&fref=ts Edited February 6, 2013 by Sheridan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimax Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Ah, get rid of the iron. What kid ever rushes for the iron :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStar-Aura Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 If they want new playing tokens, why not sell them individually? They could make more money that way and still have all the classics. Our Monopoly set only has 6 coloured plastic cones to play with. It's from around 1960 when Edwards Dunlop first took over from John Sands as Monopoly distributors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poochmad Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Yeah, I will be voting to keep the Scottie - it's the best out of the lot. Updated. I voted for the Scottie (of course) and to add the cat. I think it's pretty cute how they are 'deciding'...

Simply Grand Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Ooo I like all the suggested new ones! They should have all the new ones and we vote to keep one of the old ones (the dog of course). I will vote later at home, can't see properly on the phone. Thanks for posting!

tdierikx Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Funnily enough, I want to save the Scottie, and add the Cat... *grin* Sorry Iron - never really liked you much... T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaznHotAussies Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Oh yeah...and iron and the thimble...setting up gender roles much?!? (Said tongue in cheek, don't want this to turn into year 12 English all over again...) My sister and I loved playing with the horse and the scottie. I think my favourite was the scottie though because the horse had a rearing habit naughty pony. Out of the new ones I quite like the ring...

piper Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Has the orse already gone or is it just not 1 of the possible evictees? I always wanted the horse or the dog. Who wanted a thimble, an iron or a wheelbarow? I like the diamond ring from the new tokens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply Grand Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) I don't remember a horse... *goes to see if I have monopoly to check* ETA - interesting! Our classic monopoly must be with mum, turns out I have the 'Here and Now' edition, the tokens are a plane, a roller blade, a race car, a skateboard, a mobile phone, a double decker London bus, and a hamburger :laugh: Edited January 11, 2013 by Simply Grand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horsegal98 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 The horse and the Scottie were our two favourite, followed by the car... The iron and thimble majorly choke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westiemum Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Bl**dy Facebook - don't have an account. Can someone please vote to save the Scottie for me too please? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheridan Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Can only vote once due to facebook, but you're with us in spirit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poochmad Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I just looked on the Hasbro website (the people who make the games) and unfortunately the only way to vote is by using Facebook... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStar-Aura Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I quite like the robot and if I could be bothered to add the FB app I'd keep the Scottie and replace the thimble for robot. But, I'd still prefer to keep the oldies -- especially the 1935 original tokens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaCC Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 If I remember correctly there has been two horses. Original was a racehorse i think, it got replaced by a cowboy riding a horse in the 50's?. Apparently it got kicked out years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwioz Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Will definitely vote to save the scotty, I always used him without fail! My brother was always the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks PM - its a new form of discrimination!! :laugh: I think I'm going to start a movement to boycott any company that only communicates via FBook! (And I really need another communication channel like a hole in the head!) :) Edited January 13, 2013 by westiemum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheridan Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 PETA have now weighed in on it and have demanded Hasbro replace the Scottie with a mutt. Once again, they lie about purebred dogs. No surprise there. I won't link to their rubbish but you can look it up. Slate have also have a go at the Scottie and the article is also in SMH. http://www.smh.com.au/world/monopoly-no-longer-a-board-game-in-tune-with-lifes-losers-20130202-2dr8f.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
