Well, I got my hand on a few of these and I must say they are extremely popular.

I, of course, kept one for myself but had a "run" on the others I had.

It is a cool conversation piece but I keep having to tell folks that, unfortunately, watering the piece will NOT turn it into a real i2. :D

I spotted the new box in a local store and got all excited (sad, isn't it?). When I took a closer look at the lid, the pieces pictured did not include a Segway. Still, I guess it prevents arguements over who gets "that" piece!
I guess they change the pieces for different countries (or maybe continents).

We all know it takes a nuclear accident in the 50s to make things grow... I know it worked for ants, a 50 foot woman, some rats, and who knows what else... It might work for your segway toy...

So, it seems that all you need to do is invent a machine that travels back in time to a fictional place, and your segways will grow to full sized...

Karl, you didn't mention computer geeks who are the direct result of the Enowetok tests. Prior to that time there were no geeks except Amazing Grace Hopper...who was created in the Big Bang.

Just to verify, the segway game piece is only part of the monopoly electronic banking edition.

No, you're confusing this with the flux capacitor built into every segway that kicks in at 15 MPH. This is the real reason that segways is speed limited at 12.5 MPH.

ps - There was talk at Segway INC about a $300 upgrade that'd make this functionality available to i2 users. Don't look to close at the segway emblem on the front of your machine!

Thanks segsurfer. But the pieces are still different here, unless I mistook the box for a different version. maybe I'll check again.

Wow, sometimes the generosity of people I've never met blows me away. :cool:
Many thanks for the kind offer Bill. I'll not take you up on it yet, as I have a couple of avenues left to explore, but thanks again.

Spooky, I was looking at the very same site a little while ago. I have a link from Bill Paxton showing the USA version and the box is different, so maybe I'll order from the US. Also, Steven (Desert_Seg) has very kindly offered to send me the Segway playing piece.
Thanks for your efforts guys, it is greatly appreciated.
