I was searching for Monopoly money this week (one of the sophisticated tools I use at work) and thought I would have a look on the FAO Schwarz toy store site as the first port of call. Well, that was stupid. It was like looking for a single plant tie at Bunnings. You would not believe the number of special edition Monopoly sets here. To wit:
- Atlant Braves Collectors Editioon
- Boston Red Sox Collectors Edition
- Cardinals 2006 World Series Championship Ed
- Detroit Tigers
- Disney Pixar Collectors - fight over being Woody or Buzz!
- Elvis - you can own Graceland!
- Family Guy
- Fantastic Four
- Golf Signature Holes
- Houston Astros NLCS
- I Love Lucy California Here We Come Edition - buy, sell and trade hilarious episodes!
- James Bond 007 - be Odd Job's bowler hat!
- John Deere - be a a L110 Lawn & Garden Tractor (this is for real)
- Las Vegas - tokens include playing cards, wedding chapel, roulette wheel, poker chips, slot machine, showgirl
- Lord of the Rings
- Major League Baseball
- Monopoly - The Mega edition - 3 dice, 9 new properties, and more starting money. Mwwa hahahahah
- Monolpoly First Edition - 1935 style
- My Fantasy Baseball Players edition
- My MLB Edition
- Nascar
- New York CityMonopoly
- NY Giants Collectors Edition

Cool Mia. I'm going to show this blog of yours to my boys. My youngest Mark, asks me almost every day to play Monopoly. I sneak out of playing the board game version because we can play an online version that lasts only 10 minutes at: www.monopoly.com.au. We actually own two Monopoly sets. Unfortunately, they're are both the same. Paul and I each kept our childhood sets.
BTW, you can print off Monopoly money from some site or other if you need extra money. I did it for Damon one time. Sorry, can't recall which site now.
Cheerio,
Dale
