5 Price Tags, definitely. It's got such a distinctive, classic, enduring look.

I find it ironic how the show tries to mix up the prizes and offer "cool" things like over-stuffed trips and impossible to price items to make the show less "predictable." Yet, the same things happen every single time a show airs.

He was referring to your earlier quote of.
I find most of US props ugly, to be honest.

and I couldn't agree more with him. I find most of the French props ugly, to be honest. French people think the US Price's Props look ugly, we think theirs do, and so it shall be forever.

For me, it would have to be Now....or Then.

For some reason, the colors and the design that you have to flip the reveals yourself just screams retro.

It also makes sense to keep it retro, since you are asking questions about a previous time.

In addition, the colors remind me of the old turntable.

All of these are reasons why it will be one of the next things messed around with.

I'd be upset if they ever changed Golden Road.  They could use updating a lot of stuff though.

They didn't need to change GR in the first place, IMO.

It wouldn't be Grocery Game without the cash register. That's the whole beauty of the game.

If I remember the interview Roger had regarding that game. he had mentioned that if something  happened to the cash register, it would be bad news for TPIR
First QSW!! 2/8/13

Everyone be careful out there!

I'd say 3 Strikes, although I absolutely agree Cliff Hangers, 5 Price Tags, Clock Game, and Golden Road should not be touched.  The big green set with gold name fits the game perfectly and I love the design of the chip bag.

You're right. I was asking whether he thinks about the earlier version (87-2001), especially the (ugly, I know) color scheme of 1999, or the current version (2009-).

I believe it was his first or second interview on Shokus.  Roger said the replacing the cash register would be bad news for TPIR because it is one of the few props, if not the only prop, that has been there since 1972.  Roger even mentioned that it was an expensive fix, but they paid it because of the "omen" attached to it.
