This review is from: Monopoly Game Collector's Edition Embossed Tin (Toy)
I collect monopoly games and I must say that the Collector's Tin Series Collection are the classiest of all; second only to the Franklin Mint's version. And that one is around $600.00.
Each board is numbered and Limited. It is beautifully designed with a superb classic look. The art on the money, chance and community chest cards is AWESOME!!. Not even the Simpson's version rivals this. The Hotels and Houses are made of wood, plus the hotels have written on them Grand Hotel in gold. It comes with a tray that fits everything including money and title deeds. The board folds in four but is strong. So that should not be a problem.
My only problem with this game is that the tin can will eventually rust. Other than that it is a great version.
There are two Tin variations that I know of; The Train and the Race Car. Both are equally great. The difference would be the shape of the can and small art details.
As I said before these games are numbered and Limited. So my advice to you is to get a hand on this while you can. But have in mind this is for display only. If you want a nice looking Monopoly to play with you may either buy two or try the Deluxe version which is very nice.

This review is from: Monopoly Game Collector's Edition Embossed Tin (Toy)
I purchased this edition of monopoly to go with my car token tin. I wasn't expecting it to be any different than the car tin since they are the same type of monopoly set. However, I was presently surprised to find this set was much better.
In the car tin, all the playing parts (money, property, houses and hotels) are contained in a flimsy plastic "dashboard" with the property in the solid plastic steering wheel. The steer wheel design made it hard to place all the property into it because the center would get too tight to place the last few properties.
In the train tin, the money, hotels and houses are contained in a solid grey plastic train and the property in a solid black plastic train track. This is great because it will stand up to considerable wear and tear.
The tokens are also a different color from the car tin. It's like an antiqued brass finish (the car tin was an antiqued nickel finish).
My only issue was that they didn't give enough room for the tokens, houses and hotels in the bottom of the tin. But this can be solved by placing the token bag in the train container.
I presently play with my millenium edition because of the durable tin, translutent money and fun tokens. This may be my new play set!!
