Monopoly game to lose the Thimble piece

This is upsetting.

Seriously upsetting.

When playing the version where houses and hotels are bawdy houses, the Thimble, representing "being covered", never goes to jail.
And the other pieces have designated (broken clock) free rides also.
The Race Car always beats the trains to crossings.
The Iron, representing maids, got a fee pass on Boardwalk and Park Place, but was also banned from the board a few years ago.
The rest of the pieces also have various free passes.

Btw, the voting for the piece that will replace the Thimble has ended and the new piece will be announced March 19th.

The link didn't work, but getting rid of the thimble is not right. The pieces were selected to symbolize things that might have been used during the era of the game's development... The Great Depression.

I was out shopping with my fav and we walked past the toy section (no not those toys), and I mentioned the Thimble being lost, we looked at each other, we each grabbed a game box as souvenirs, and promptly challenged each other to a Sunday morning game next time she's in town.

Buy em now before they become a collector's item and they get replaced with something incredibly lame.

To keep the game current every piece should be replaced with a finishers trophy and the game shouldn't have winners or losers.
