So the Monopoly people have announced they’re [retiring the thimble](http://www.today.com/popculture/monopoly-announces-retirement-beloved-classic-token-thimble-t108262). This comes after a recent retiring of the iron, horse and rider and cannon. They also just recently added a cat to their token line-up, with plans to have another fan vote in the future to add another new one. What would you like to see added as a token next? The story I linked to mentions a possible penguin, bunny slipper and rubber ducky. Personally, I’d like to see a robot. ---

A dinosaur. It’s nearly as old as this game, and a lot more fun. ---

I kind of like the idea of a sort of retro-futuristic rocket like from “Destination Moon”, except more stylized and silly. ---

I didn’t realize they’d already had a vote for new tokens. I seem to recall in the last round of voting a couple years ago, they had an old-school robot. That’s the one I wanted then, and that’s the one I still want now, dagnabbit! ---

Good call, **bump** , I’d totally go for a mini-Hugo trophy.
