Say goodbye to your childhood. In order to herald in an age of change, Hasbro’s “Save Your Token” campaign is asking you to pick which memory of your youth you’d like to watch fade to nothingness.
Up until February 5, fans can go to the Monopoly Facebook page and choose which classic token they love the most: the race car, iron Scottie dog, wheelbarrow, shoe, top hat, thimble, or battleship. Not content to simply remove the losing token from the game, Hasbro will send the offending piece directly—and permanently—to jail. You do, however, also get to vote on the new token (toy robot, helicopter, cat, guitar, or diamond ring) with which you’d like to fill the void.
According to oddsmaker R.J. Bell of Pregame.com, the wheelbarrow is the one most likely to get axed with 2-1 odds. But don’t worry, I’m sure it’s just being sent to a nice, big farm—it’ll be better this way. [USA Today]

Always played the battleship myself.
Whatever goes I think the new piece, given this age of memes, should be a cat.
That cat can go fuck right off! What’s wrong with keeping them as they are and releasing another “modern” themed set with the new pieces?
Just another stupid publicity stunt to try to make monopoly seem “down with the kids” when modern youth have probably never played it except as an app. Are they also taking bets on how long it will be after the replacement is made that they will release a “classic” version with the original restored.
As a youth, I can confirm that our generation plays the board game, and loves it. However, I was raised in Surrey, so I am by no means representative.
has to be the shoe to go! everyone hated the shoe!
everyone always wanted to be the car
i still have my old monopoly game. and im 37!
you can still see the marks where i used to drive the car around on the board as it has left 2 tram lines
shoe was always shite. always made my mum have the iron!
Hold the phone… Where can I get a giant Monopoly Board like that! A new piece will probably be a smart phone.
if the new piece is a phone or a tablet or a laptop, i wont play anymore..
Hat for the win!
