OT: Indiana Jones Monopoly Game

With the new Indiana Jones movie coming out Parker Brothers has created an Indiana Jones Monopoly Game in cooperation with Wal Mart. Naturally, this can only be bought at Wal Mart. Very nice game, comes in a wooden crate, money is changed to reputation points (same values though), the houses are Idols (like the one at the beginning of Radiers of the Lost Ark) and the Hotels have been changed to Arks (as in Ark of the Covenant), the tokens of course are all Indiana Jones themed as well. It also comes with a certificate of authenticity each having it's own unique number. It costed $28.

Anyway, being a huge fan of Monopoly and of Indiana Jones my GF picked it up for me the other day. I love it!

So last night we sat down to play it and at one point I needed to mortgage a property (one of the Yellows) and I noticed the mortgage value didn't match up for a yellow property, the mortgage value was $200 when it should have been $130. Then I noticed that the name on the back was that of Akator Temple (which is the Boardwalk in this game). In other words, the back of the card did not match the front. So I looked at all the cards and 25 of the 28 title deed cards are misprints, the back does not match the fronts.

Now, I looked around online and found no one else who had this problem (and wrote about it online). I also checked Hasbro.com and found nothing about it, I even checked the recall info.

What would you do? Would you return it and have it replaced or keep it for collectors value?

Interesting. I would try to have my cake and eat it too. See if you can get a new one without the error and keep the messed up one.
