So my game arrived on Monday btw. Pretty spiffy looking, I'll see if I can get some pics of the cards to post later on this week since you already know what the rest of it looks like. This was posted about 20 min ago on USAopoly's facebook page: USAopoly Well, we’re boned! 3 of the Chance/Community Chest Cards were unfortunately printed with missing directives in the Monopoly: Futurama Collector’s Edition. USAopoly will be sending out replacement cards to all who pre-ordered the game through USAopoly.com. In the meantime, you can download temporary cards from the link here: http://www.usaopolygames.com/futuramafix/Futurama_Card_Fix.pdf We truly apologize for the mishap. We appreciate your patience and support! Team USAopoly I found the three cards in question. Wonder if that will make them a collector's item or not Hahaha.

So I went to the mall today and the game store there had 3 Futurama monopoly games (with silver Bender token head) at $40 each. If there is anyone here in Europe interested in one, let me know, and I'll pick them up. It'll be $40 + cost of shipping, whatever it is. Let me know ASAP though since there are only three left.

Can you give a rough estimate on the postage?

Whatever the postage is, I recommend that the product value is marked as no more than $18.00 because otherwise you will likely get raped by import tax. It's happened to me a few times in the past...

Really, hm. So declare it as under $18 and mark it as a gift? I was going to check online to see what it would give me for shipping...I know some shippers require the exact postal code before they can tell you, so if you wanna PM your address Danny or whoever else is curious please do and I'll tell you what it says.

Ok,
So to ship to Danny's location in the UK the cheapest is $27.50 USD for first class mail USPS (but doesn't say arrival time) or $40 USD Priority Mail and that arrives in 6 to 10 business days. UPS and FedEX are both well over $100.
Where is your friend located cyber_turnip that it is only 20 pounds to ship? Maybe it is because I am way over on the West Coast that it is a little more.

Is that how much it is then for him/her to ship it? What service are they using? For it to be that cheap the website didn't say when arrival date would be.

Really good deal Quolnok, dunno how they are able to sell it for so low when the Pre-Order was as much as I found it in the mall. Great find though.
I already opened mine, didn't think I'd find the regular version in my area since there aren't a lot of stores that carry Futurama product, it's hard enough to find it in the comic stores.

So has anyone aside from JavieR played Futurama Monopoly yet? How does it compare to regular Monopoly?...

I played it, I mean, it's just like playing any other version of Monopoly...just robots and mutants, heh. I actually played it using the special rules that came in the Star Trek one...I don't know why every monopoly doesn't have those. Those rules are cool. You get to do something extra if you roll doubles. For example, double 2's means you get 200 dollars. Double 6's means you can destroy an opponent's ship (or house in the regular game). Double 4's and 5's means you draw a card from community chest/ chance cards, double 1's means you can pick an opponent's place they own and roll for it (you roll higher you take control). Stuff like that.

Should have crazy blernsball rules, with sudden multiple dice shooting everywhere and a guy riding a big spider all over the board.

I just have Futurama, Star Trek, Seinfeld, Cat Breeds, and then CATopoly (same basic game, but different brand). I might get the Klingon one. The Cat breeds Monopoly was actually free - it was supposed to be on sale for $15 or something at the pet store, but when they went to ring it up it was so old it was out of system and rang up at those O.OO codes - the girl called the manager on duty and he let me have it for free Ah the perks of retail.
