What, no love for the BigSmile mannequin head? I can't believe nobody's mentioned that as one of the top missing items.

Oh, I HATE that thing. I'm not scared of clowns, but I'm scared of that head the way people scared of clowns are scared of clowns.

I don't think there has ever been a faster instabuy for me on woot before.

Monopoly + Woot = Epic Win!!!!!

Um, no, just no. No cat piece, no roomba piece, no free shipping, no bueno...

There is just too much WIN here to be contained.

I'm so in for one....

What, no Dyson token? Psh.

Dear god forgive me I just went back and bought a second one.

Be on the lookout for the Second Edition and upgrade pieces!

Is there a chance card that says "Woot is bought by Amazon, most of your customers leave, lose %50 of your assets."?

So you're the other person who invariably substitutes Labor Day for Memorial Day and vice versa! Thank goodness it's not just me.

SANSAS.

It is truly a travesty that there are no Dyson or Roomba pieces.

They can't have a Roomba or Dyson without paying a licensing fee. And Hasbro probably doesn't allow booze in the customized -opoly games, so no Wine Woot bottle.

Five pages of comments, really? You guys realize it's just monopoly, right?

False. It's Wootopoly! On Woot.com. For sale to Wooters. Being discussed in the Woot Forum. I suspect we'll get well beyond a mere 5 pages of comments!

Well, I think everyone is just raging over the Bishop of Canterbury not making anymore appearances during woot offs.

Also, lack of Dyson/Roomba is pretty disappointing, although I think a change/treasury chest card that says
"Woot Off!
Unfortunately they are selling 200 Dysons now. Lose one turn waiting an hour for the next item."
would be particularly funny to me.

They should've had a generic vacuum.

One of the pieces really should have been a vacuum

I want this SOOOOOOOOOO Badly, but I would have no one to play this with. No woot friends nearby. Sniff sniff.

This just proves that with the right marketing, anything can be sold.

I think I'd rather have a bag o' crap. There should have been a used Roomba or a refurb Sansa MP3 player turned into pewter tokens.

Meh, I'd have preferred Wooters of Monkey Island. "I'll trade you 3 Roombas for 1 Leakfrog!"

Hasbro has been doing licensed themed Monopolies for a long time.

Woot! You already have the monopoly on my wallet and my Bookmarks Bar. Why must you monopolize my time away from the interwebs as well?

Isn't Woot so great?! They came out with their first board game today and they already knocked out 20% off the price tag!

Orcrist42 wrote:But where is the Dodgeball playing piece?

I bought one to see if any of the 28 Mortimer's Gamble Cards or Monte's Largess Cards mention the Photochop or Dodgeball contests. If not, maybe an honorary Dodgeball rematch to post our own?

It looks the the board is slightly off from the classic if memory serves (where the place o'park and chance are seem to be flipped)...

I should be able to play as an automated lawnmower/killing machine.

If you're playing the variation where all fines paid go into the middle of the board and you win them all if you land on free parking, is that the "Batch of Copies"?

Ummm... You guys know April Fools is in April right?

this would have been great 2 or so years ago when i actually identified with the company and their ideologies.

ironically after the Big Office Cubicles went away...the real carps swam into woot and they haven't stopped coming!

is that shirt.woot token made in nicaragua or united states?

"Made in USA"

In for three!

(Please, bear in mind that I quit reading comments about 3 pages ago.) Would someone who collects Monopoly games -- but is not obsessive about it -- think this is cool thing even though he doesn't know woot! from moofi? Also, has there been any indication how limited this 1st edition is? I'd guess if it were fairly limited it would be gone by now.

I was thinking roomba.

My favorite part of this is where they're somehow discounting the list price of a product only sold here. Guys, whatever you're selling it as IS the list price. Just sayin'

FWIW - I do collect Monopoly games in a non-obsessive manner, and I finally jumped on this. Of course, I do know about Woot (I'm a black-square kind of guy), so there is that difference.

Could have used a salted caramel for the wine game piece. People under 21 rage on some salted caramels.

I was thinking more along the lines of Settlers of Woot-tan. Same principle, though: "I've got Wine for Monkeys."
