In many families, Monopoly fights start long before the property is purchased. Inevitably, every player wants the same playing piece.
Well, it's time to stand up for your beloved old boot or Scottie dog or thimble, because Hasbro is aiming to get rid of it.
The company has announced plans to upgrade Monopoly, which will include replacing one of the game's iconic tokens with a fancy new figurine.
Even worse, Hasbro is making you decide which one will go. From now through Feb. 5, fans can vote to save their favorite token -- and which new one will take the place of the least popular piece.

i have never cared for the smelly old boot... now the hat is my fave...

Button shoe.
Replace with robot.
With this:
...and all will be well...
The Mulatto Messiah will be one of the new Monopoly pieces?
I’m betting the Evil Military Battleship goes.
but, since some of the others represent “work” and the Hat being of the 1%ers, I could be wrong
Why do any of them have to go. For Pete’s sake, can’t anyone leave ANYTHING alone?????? And don’t even think about asking “Who’s Pete?”.
I would think that the eeevil carbon producing car would tie for the eevil battleship.

I always liked the hat.
Okay. Smart marketing move.
Stupid yahoo. They made me look. The first thing I thought was “Where’s the cannon?” I didn’t remember the wheelbarrow at all. Anyway, there aren’t pieces in this picture. (Scotty, sports car, top hat, cannon, wheelbarrow, ship, old boot, thimble, man on a horse, iron)
(geez Now, I have an uncontrollable urge to play dominoes)
The thimble does nothing for me.

We wouldn’t fight over that because I ALWAYS get the thimble and I love it.
Okay. Smart marketing move.
Some things should stay the same, said the former marketer of the “New Coke”
I want to be the piece of glass.
