Be very cautious. I thought I was buying the original and got the new game. I complained to the vendor(PJ Books, I believe). Said they'd find me the original and send it. It was very used. More used than my game(I was buying it for a member of my family). What a mess

Mine has a timer that just rewinds if you turn the dial. It takes no batteries and is not electric, so I ma not sure what you mean.. My Scattergories is the first version that came out and they have not had electric timers that I know of.

As far as I know, the original Scattergories had a twist, spring release timer, not an electric one. Mine is pretty old.

The game that I purchased had an electric timer not a sand glass timer. I hope that answers your question...

This is the new version. I have the original version. I will order this one on next order.

The penny shown in the photo is dated '2012', and the penny I received is dated '2015', which is newer and, therefore, better. I am sure that I will get years of use out of both the MicroBypass module, and my shiny, new penny. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Sorry, I can't help you. This was a gift for my daughter. I can tell you, she has not complained and she wanted the old version.

I have been using these for years but I didn't know there was an old version or a new version. What makes you think there is?

Yes, they are modern cards. The only other changes are, there's two clues on each side of the card. The cards are wider (they don't fit in the old holder), and the buzzer is now a squeak toy.... Definitely keep the buzzer from the old game!

I learned on the 1983 classic as well, and I haven't noticed any differences. I'd love it if they released a booster pack of new groups or updated ones. I'm pretty sure the biggest difference is that they've now been run in color and look great :)

I so not know if there is a different, newer version. I bought this as a gift for my mom. She loves it! Sorry I can't be of more help.

Did you ever find an answer to this?? Have you bought one? I was looking to buy the new one and have gotten two OLD ones (one from amazon, one from barnes and noble). I was going to return both in my quest for the new one but upon reading reviews... it seems the old one will accomadate matchbox cars better... but the elevator is more prone to break. I like the overall look of the new one - but I don't like that the elevator is smaller. I really don't like the idea that matchbox cars might not fit. I am going to call plan toys today and see if they can tell me. All I know is this was supposed to be the BIG christmas gift for my twins this year and now it's 2 days before Christmas and I have run into a problem I didn't expect to have.

Hello,I believe its the same product, just equate updated their design on the boxes. The second one looks like the old style, dont know why they still have that up.

Buy the one that from Hasbro that has two white buttons (above & below LCD) and 2 small blue bums just to either side. It has a blue edge on the lower left & upper right. This original version it has 11 categories; these ones with 4 buttons have only 5 categories! The older one is much better.

I had the old one too. The trays and slide-on pill holders seem to be the same size as the new timer. If you still have the trays, I bet they will work.

The first one I ordered (supplier Etailz) last year had this same picture but received the new version of the game. I returned that one and ordered Classic Edition which had the gray board design from the 60s from supplier Winning Moves. That time I got what I expected. The customer service was great for the return.

Day-timer is dated. Paper is decent quality. Good buy. Even has a plan page + review/diary/summary -whatever page for each month. I think this is a best buy in monthly planners. I've had them all over the last 20 years.

From my research I believe there are several different names on essentially the same electric chipper/ shredder. Mine was McCollough (was discontinued...bought used) I think and it look exactly like several other electric chippers. I remember these things were hard to come by. If they are cheap enough I would take the chance.

Hi Kendyl,Yes this is the listing for the "original" larger game. You will see that there is also a statement that there is a newer version - this is the one one you do NOT want to purchase.
