It's so very tempting. The only problem is I don't think I know anyone else who would want to play it with me, I don't know many Monopoly or Woot! fans :/.

I went ahead and ordered it. I know it probably won't be available again for a while and I couldn't help myself.

Wootopoly party at my house!

I just realized that the name Woot-opoly just contradicts their original intentions of one deal a day and celebrates their current scheme of 495 deals a day. Please tell me the creators thought of this clever pun and I'm not just overthinking it.

This looks awesome and I am buying one. How often do you ever get to hear, "I get to be the bag of Crap!"?

I am legitimately contemplating getting it. At first I wanted spongebob themed, but man, Woot-Opoly... If I buy this, does that mean I have a Woot problem? o.O

Maybe they'll add an online-version to run in a window during the woot-offs!

I couldn't help myself~! I have the Woot Frying Pan, and now I have Woot-opoly... In 100 years, this version of Monopoly could be worth $30

prediction: you will never convince anyone to play this game.

reality: woot is trying to stay relevant.

summary: fail

Buying this is about the only way you can now get a BOC.

You could look at it as the deal a day ( or deals of the day) are a monopoly on that/those items for the day .

now if they made an electronic wootoply where I can get online and play with other wooters then I would totally buy.

I wonder if we can use woot-opoly money to buy things on woot?

Wouldn't it be great if we received a free surprise boc when we ordered this? Too bad there's not a wine bottle token in the set.

@pinchecat: I really want to buy this, but sadly, you are right. I'd more likely be in a threesome with 2 lingere models than get anybody else to play this game. It would sit on a shelf, collecting dust, until at some point it gets thrown out, wondering why I ever would buy such a thing.

I'm in for one.

I bought one because I love Monopoly, and I collect Monopoly games.

Too bad I don't know any of you that said you wouldn't have anyone to play the game with, I'd totally play woot-opoly with you!

The few other people I play board games with hate monopoly, but they like woot. Maybe I could get them to play if I... trick them into it with this ;)

couldn't resist...i bought one.

hey, maybe we could do a google hangout with fellow wooters so we can play. haha! (logistical nightmare, i know)

I would be far more likely to buy this if it was a "deal".

With Woot having changed (not making the argument here if better or worse, just stating the fact that it has changed) I'm less likely to be a rabid fan and want Woot-branded items. (Like my monkies, my bucket, lights and other random odds and ends from years past)

Now add in that this is essentially the same price as a regular Monopoly set, rather than a really good deal and I'm even less inclined.

Still a kinda neat item, just not at the right price for me to pull the trigger but I'm sure many others will.

update: for anybody who wants one, but is resisting because of the price, woot is running a contest...as copied from FB

"Guess what! We made an -opoly! But we know even the low-low price of $19.99 may not convince you, so we want to give some away. If you want a chance at winning one of 5 Wootopoly games, until 5pm CT- email POC@woot.com with the subject line "I wanna play!" "

@kfujita: Finally, a deadline to play that I haven't missed out on!

I want one, but I don't want to shell out $25 for it... so I'll have to pass GO and keep my dollars.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
