Pokémon Monopoly: Collector's Edition
(with pewter figurines)

Value: $30-40

Actual Cost: $5.00

Here's another steal of a deal I found! This time it's a board game. This edition of Monopoly goes regularly for $40 complete on eBay but is sometimes found for as low as $30. I found it at Goodwill for $5. The store also had Pokémon Sorry, but I'm not going to stoop that low.

Say what you will about Monopoly, but this is probably the most interesting version. I mean, who wouldn't love to purchase Pokémon as properties! Pokémon theming aside, this game also has rules for special powers use (optionally) after rolling doubles. For instance, if you roll double 6's, you can choose to battle another trainer in a roll of the dice over ownership of one of their properties!

Probably my favorite thing about Pokémon Monopoly is that Nidoqueen and Nidoking are the replacements for Park Place and Boardwalk! That's just too cool!
