Title: G.I. Joe Monopoly - Sweet!

YEARS ago I had a long conversation with someone and we suggested all the games that could be GI Joe based. Monopoly was one, Risk was another, Connect Four as well (Stars and Cobra Logos). Not to mention a chess board (which I would totally buy), and a ton of other things.

If GIJoe is anything like this I'll be looking to buy it. And as Mike said I would love to see a Joe/Cobra chess set. !Hello Franklin Mint!

I wonder what the properties are going to be. And the "houses"... maybe troops.

Hmm.

I agree 100%. When i clicked through to look at it i totally expected to see a movie based monopoly. I was stunned and really pleased to see the classic style art work. Now if only they would re-release that giant gi joe board game from the 80s. I think i still have a few of the cut out character pieces from that.

No love for the Adventure Team.

Seems like Hasbro think that the ARAH characters have more marketing potential than the bearded adventurers

Post by: Moodslime on April 04, 2009, 06:28:08 PM: Okay so the pieces (tokens) reported so far are:

Faceplate CC's head
Timber
Thunder Machine
U.S.S. Flagg

Anyone heard of any more?

Post by: night force cynic on April 07, 2009, 01:37:36 PM: wow, that's cool. I also expected it would be based off the damn movie before I looked at the link and read the responses but that was a nice surprise! I have the regular old Monopoly at home and this is the first of the "spin offs" reflecting other properties that I've actually wanted.

$5 says there will be a movie inspired Monopoly before Christmas too, I'd be really surprised if it didn't happen. I'll pass on that one though.

Well... there IS a big G.I. Joe board game out there where you can use real figures on it.... if anyone has that, bring it and I'll set up a table in the hall for people to play. (Must bring your own figures)

Post by: darth cujo on April 09, 2009, 11:15:29 PM: Just noticed this:
"Control the entire G.I. Joe universe in this fantasy contest of deal making and risk taking, collecting the most iconic bases and locations from the 1980s G.I. Joe animated series." Bit of a let down, but still better than being based on the movie. Hopefully it's just a generalization and there will be some comic based stuff in there too.

Yes, but it will be based on the movie.

Post by: GOLD5 on May 01, 2009, 12:07:48 AM: I love AT! That being said the re-issues were in the bargain bins a few years ago. The only time AT 'does well' is when it is out of print it seems.

Post by: morgardee on July 15, 2009, 09:06:00 AM: I saw this at my local comic shop yesterday for $39.99.

I'm tempted to pick one up but I recall seeing Transformers Monopoly go on clearence in the past for $20.00.

It's a tuff call.

Post by: Kronz on July 15, 2009, 12:33:29 PM: I saw a copy at Sunrise Records in the mall. 50 or 60 bucks though, easy to pass. I'd grab it on clearance though, that makes sense.
