Transformers Monopoly Board Game

[1AZRAEL1]

Hi all,

Just curious as to see if anyone can help me on this.

For those who bought it, did you have any problems with it?

The board I got in mine was like a crappy rubber/plastic thing, not like the normal wooden boards they have. The figurines are supposed to be pewter, but having a good look at mine, they feel and look plastic. Also ended up with Simpsons monopoly properties haha. All in all it just doesnt seem up to standard of other monopoly games.

All this leads me to believe that maybe someone has done a knockoff monopoly game.

Any help is appreciated.

There are plenty of KO Monopoly board games, just after Christmas I went to Penrith markets and they had some obvious KO versions, Toy Story, Ben10, Hello Kitty etc, and some less obvious ones, like Simpsons Halloween edition, transformers, Pixar etc, so there is a chance you may have gotten a KO...
If Gok or someone who has the proper version could post pics of the board etc, it might help you identify any differences...

I'll post Pics of mine when I get home.
I think I may have.
Looks like I may have to pay Wickster a visit lol.

I've seen KO TF Monopoly boards around Cabramatta - so they do exist.

The actual board is the same quality as other Monopoly boards - made of fairly sturdy cardboard. Similar to most other board games like Scrabble and your fold-out Chess boards. The pieces are made from die-cast metal. The dice are made from transparent red and purple plastic (one is red the other purple) so they look like "glowing" red and purple Energon cubes due to natural light piping. The "Chance" and "Community Chest" cards (called Autobot and Decepticon cards) have their messages 'scrambled' like the 1984-88 tech specs and also comes with a square tech specs decoder framed by a piece of cardboard that is red (Autobot) on one side and purple (Decepticon) on the other. The messages are pretty hard to read without the decoder.

Sounds to me you might have a KO.

Judging by that, then I'd say I do.
The "tech spec" chance cards are easily read without the decoder.
That shits me.
