In 1998, the Deluxe version was re-released but it just seems it was a reprint but a new copyright date of 1998.

Monopoly Mover

Code: #57681

2000 saw the beginning and end of hasbrocollectors.com. Two editions were released; the first being Monopoly Mover.

The Monopoly Mover was an 18 wheeler whose trailer converted into a monopoly board. The top and sides folded out to form a miniature board, but with the exception of the Title Deeds everything else was standard size. It included eleven standard tokens. Not a practical set to play on, but a nice conversation piece.

Library Edition

The other was the Collectors Edition #1 Library edition, and The Library Edition was a bookshelf edition bound in blue. It had a hex fold board with a parchment finish (along with all the cards), wooden houses and hotels, and eleven gold tone tokens including the moneybag.

Inflatable Edition

Code: Item # 27130

Also, in 2000, an enormous outside version was released. This was the inflatable version.

This version came with an inflatable board/table and all the pieces and came in a large box.

Deluxe Inflatable Edition

Code: Item # 27100

This inflatable version came with blow up seats.

There was also a "patch kit" incase you needed to mend the game. Also of note is that the first two properties are not brown or purple but pink. This will be due to the way it was printed.

Car Tin

Code: #41503

The car tin was made to look like the race car token. Open it up and the bankers tray and Title Deed carousel looks like a dashboard. The black bound board lies underneath and has a blue-gray face. Wooden houses and Grand hotels come next along with seven antiqued tokens; race car, ship, shoe, thimble, horse and rider, top hat, Scottie dog, and iron.

Wooden Box

Dimensions of the box: 26.3 x 26.3 x 5.3 cm

Code: 40753

Hasbro succeeded once more to make a gain for a collector with this nice-edition-in-a-wooden-case. As well on the push out lid as on 1 of the surfaces of the twice folded game board and the midfield of the board is the engine of the 1957 edition.

When the game board has been taken out the the box a "banker's tray" remains with 6 holes to store the wooden houses and hotels, the property deeds and tokens, while notches in the partitions serve as holders for the remarkable small (43x96mm) banknotes.

Because of their sepia background the property deeds (68 x 77mm) have a very refined look. The small (45 x 76 mm) Chance and Community Chest cards are nicely illustrated again.

The 6 antique brass tokens are; race car, train, shoe, Scottie dog, top hat, and thimble

The 2 small (6 x 6 x 6 mm) dice are ivory with black pips.

The Rules are also "from the past", i.e. printed on a long narrow folded paper.

Michael Graves

Dimensions of the box: 27 x 27 x 11 cm

Code: 40889

It was in 2002 that the first Michael Graves designed version came out and was made exclusively for Target. This is a very heavy wooden version with a pull-out banker's drawer, unique new cast metal player tokens, newly designed hotels and houses in a Cherry-stained hardwood and veneer finish box.

It is a heavy and solid wooden box (with a coin with Grave's signature sticked at the bottom) with turn over game board and a small pull-out "banker's tray". It is solidly packed in a non-Monopoly-like blue cardboard box.

In the tray is a square rubber piece with 6 preshaped holes for the silvery Michael Graves designed tokens: teacup - teapot - clock - mixer - telephone and a toaster.

The small (54x60 mm) property deeds have an illustration of the special houses on their back side. The Chance- and Community Chest cards are even smaller (37x62 mm) than those of the Nostalgia edition.

The remarkable small and long (43x96mm) banknotes can be placed in the slots of the partitions. There are 2 little dark blue pouches supplied to store the very special Michael Graves design houses and "hotels" in. The 2 dice (10x10x10 mm) are ivory with black pips. The Rules are in a simple, not illustrated booklet.

Michael Graves is an internationally renowened professor of architecture at Princeton University and president of the successful architectural firm that bears his name. A different circle of fans celebrates his collection of aesthetically pleasing household objects and games, many of them designed especially for Target Corporation, a chain of discount stores.

One of his designs is the housing of the Dutch Department of Health and Human Services in The Hague, Netherlands. This building height of 104m with its steep roofs and is popularly called "The two tits". The picture shows why the hotels in Michael Grave's Monopoly are tall, red stoned buildings with small windows and steep roofs.

Publisher: Hasbro/Winning Moves Games - 2002

Dimensions of the box: 25.7 x 51.1 cm

This edition is a re-issue of the "white boxes" as Parker Brothers published them the first time in the fall of 1934. Parker Brothers adopted this version for their Number 9.

The enclosed booklet Memories gives a good impression of life in the mids 1930's as well as of the first (American) Monopoly editions. Page 6 of this booklet shows a good picture of this set as it originally was published by Charles Darrow himself, i.e. with larger colored property deeds and more simple banknotes only showing a number in a small field.

Code: # 1071

One of the eight versions came in a metal tin which was made exclusively for Kohl's.
