Differences this year are No more Best-Buy bucks, instead there are Toys'R'Us bucks, and there are more cash prizes, i.e. no more plasma TVs, vacations, or SUV give-aways. Keep all your game pieces as you can play the online virtual Monopoly board. Any piece you have can therefore be a potential win. McDonald's reintroduces the Monopoly collect and win game yearly, and the rare pieces generally are the same. One good way to remember the rare game piece is that the avenue and railroad with the last alphabetical name for each color with exception of Boardwalk is the grand-prize.

Now... if you find this helpful vote me yes!
