Johnny Lightning 2001 Modern Monopoly Corvette Car Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What's with the wheels? This is the only vehicle in series one or two to come out with these cheap looking red hubcapped plastic looking wheels. What were the makers thinking? The same cheap looking plasticy red is used on the interior seating as well. The Corvette is one of the best cars used in the series but unfortunately it's reproduction was butchered here. Plus with six of the twelve release one cars white already, why choose this unsporting colour for a sports car?
The only redeeming feature of this car is that it uses quite a bit of the board as a decal on the front. You've also got the little moustache man on the sides and boot. With the same wheels as rest of the series and a better job done on the interior with maybe a different colour other than white used as well this could have been one of the best cars of the entire six Johnny Lightning Monopoly releases. That didn't happen though. You'll only want this if getting the entire set.
These vehicles were also rereleased with an additional six new vehicles as series two, but with different packaging. So depending on if you're into keeping your vehicles in their packaging you may want to consider which series to buy from.
Series one's packaging is purple on the left, and green on the right. Has the Monopoly Man in a car on the purple side and getting given some cash on the right. The five properties behind the car are Boardwalk, Luxury Tax (obscured by dice), Park Place, Chance and Short Line. There was a competition mentioned in the top left corner and on the back of the card.
Series two replaced the dice with a big "bonus game token" red and yellow arrow, just in case you hadn't noticed the token before. The properties were replaced by the orange ones as well as Community Chess, and the top half of the packaging has a blue background. The initial twelve cars and their bonus token including this one are exactly the same. If you're going to take them out and throw away the packaging then it matters not which series you buy, get whichever is cheaper.
