McDonalds Monopoly game, I'm looking for Boardwalk

[rcso]

If during your many travels you come across 'Boardwalk' holla at a brother and we can split a million dollars. I am serious. Mcdonalds doesn't ship all the pieces anywhere near each other, and truck drivers go everywhere so odds are someone might get it.

wouldn't that be pretty stupid?

considering everyone that goes to mcdonals about 5 times or more can get the other one for a million.

that makes no sense to get 500 grand for that when u can get 1 mil by spending about 50 bucks at mc d's

'Stupid?'
The dude is willing to SHARE- at least he's not being GREEDY!

The smarter guy would know they don't ship all the pieces to the same place. Ever notice that ALL of the past games, people can get two of the properties or 2-3 railroads but never find the last piece needed to win that top prize. Who's the smart guy now. If you're lucky enough to find both pieces then no you won't need help, but if you're like 100% of the players you'll need that missing piece to claim the prize. I have like 3 Park Places, all you need to go is have 1 Boardwalk piece.

I think pure logic would dictate that there only exists a few Boardwalks. If they put different pieces in different parts of the country the whole USA would be taking a drive around making millions.

Yeah, there are tons of most of the peices, but that boardwalk piece is probably pretty rare. If it even exists at all! A few years ago the employees that were printing the damn things stole em. McDonalds uses another company to do the game for them now though I think.

A few years ago either Coke or Pepsi had a deal where you saved bottle caps and if you had 100 you got a hat, 1000 you got a radio or something to that effect. Then, if you had 1,000,000 you got a F16 fighter jet. It was meant to be a joke as in nobody could save that many. Well, someone realized that an F16 costs like 15 billion dollars so they told Coke or Pepsi they wanted to buy a million bottles of soda then collect there F16. I'm not sure what the settlement was but it was in the millions.

Which is why I put that on here. I can't think of any other group of people that travel as much and that eat as much fast food. The odds of a trucker finding it are pretty damn good in my book.

:? I'm guessing Mickie D's sense of humor....you'll find those boardwalk pieces only in either Santa Cruz, California....or Alantic City, New Jersey.

rcso....were you a Trooper? That's a nice Avatar.

I never seem to care about these product games. Over the years...I just ignore them and toss my oppertunities in the trash. Good chance the winning game pieces end up this way. I think lots of people are like me, in this regard. It would be great to hear a nice ending to this post!!!

I think pure logic would dictate that there only exists a few Boardwalks. If they put different pieces in different parts of the country the whole USA would be taking a drive around making millions.

Like I said...LOGIC....A simple search will show everyone and there brother is looking for that piece. You can even buy fake ones on EBay.

Deputy sheriff. I just liked that drawing and I thought it was the most reserved one I found so I used it with the collage.

Remember some years ago, when a 17 year old kid won a "HARRIER JET" with those things. I think it was Burger King. He even went to court to try to make the company give him one. Judge said "IT'S A WAR-PLANE, YOU CAN'T HAVE IT."

FYI, with the McDonald's Monopoly game...each color set has 1 rare piece and of those rare pieces, only a certain number are printed. Read the rules of the game and the prize list. There will be 1 rare piece printed for each one of the specified items of that specific prize. So, for example, if they were giving away 5 cars, there would be 5 rare pieces. Where those rare pieces go, is anyone's guess. They are printed by the outside company and randomly shipped.

That said, all the other pieces are not rare and distributed across the United States. I've played that silly game for a few years and every year, I have had every piece of every color except for the rare piece. I did have a friend with me one year that got the rare piece for the Sony Dreamcast game...I think that was what it was.

Anyway, the point is, if anyone doesn't have Park Place and they get Boardwalk, they'll go to McDonalds a half a dozen times to pick up Park Place. Anything outside of the rare pieces are really easy to get.

Lol....Cracks me up every year when you see people get excited that they got "Park Place" and all the need is "Boardwalk". You see people putting ads in the paper looking to split the winnings. You think they would eventually figure out that "park place" is the most common piece in the game and everyone and their mother gets that peice.

Hmmm....let me see, I got boardwalk....what should I do? Give someone I dont know 500,000 dollars for "park place" or just go to McDonalds and buy a big mac where there is a great chance that I could get my own "park place"

[yoopr]

I can tell you're a Cop-Your Board is totally Full except for One Piece :P

Ha. Like Sheepdancer said, I've seen people put this add in the paper. I guess if it works, more power to you. But anyone would be stupid to split boardwalk. I'm guessing that if you got boardwalk, you wouldn't even have to get parkplace. There was a guy along time ago, when I was in high school that worked @ MCYD'S and would bring huge rolls of those cups, hash brown packages, french fry pouches, you name it...up to school and sell them off. He's sell you like, a roll of 50 hash brown pouches for $5. You could get all the pieces and alot of free food also.

Ebay- I've seen on ebay where people will sell a game piece...from the real game, not Mcdonalds game. Happens every year. B/c the bidders don't take time to read the item description. It will be like - "Monopoly Board Walk Game Piece Mcdonalds" for the title. Then you go into the main body of the auction and it will say "this auction if for the Monopoly Game Piece Boardwalk. Combine this with Park Place and you have your Monopoly..." It will go on and on about how it's a rare piece to get...which is true, in the MCYD's game, or on the board game...but in the description it never says "this is a Mcdonalds game piece". People end up buying what they think it a Million dollar game piece for $10,000.00 . Like anyone would trade you $1MIL for $10K
