Few YouTubers have achieved the level of explosive success that Scott Wozniak, better known as Scott The Woz, has. The YouTuber, who frequently posts videos about classic video games and hardware, has seen his channel grow immensely over the last few years. Now, the content creator is ushering in yet another success story, as he's getting his very own Monopoly set.
On Twitter, Wozniak shared an image of the Monopoly set, officially dubbed "Monopoly®: Scott The Woz Edition." The set is licensed by Hasbro and is currently available on ThePixelEmpire for $50. However, the set is pretty limited, with only 5,000 units available for sale. With that in mind, fans will want to act quickly if they plan on picking up a set, though there are a few other pieces of merchandise based on the creator's antics available on ThePixleEmpire too, for those that miss out.
The game items contained in the Scott The Woz Monopoly set are something of a love letter to YouTuber's channel. For instance, the player pieces are a "The Internet and You" Tape, '08 Stack, Old Phone, Nostalgia Goggles, Party Hat, and a Tambourine, all of which are references to videos or items on the Wozniak's desk. Similar references have helped give the play spaces, Community Chest cards, and housing tokens special flair.
All of the profit from the Monopoly set will be going to charity, along with proceeds from some of the creator's other merchandise. Last year, Wozniak's partnership with ThePixelEmpire helped raise more than $200,000 for the Children's Miracle Network and Critical Care Comics. This year, the partnership is looking to raise $250,000. A live tracker on ThePixelEmpire's website is keeping track of how much the community has raised thus far, clocking in at $172,848 currently.
In addition to the Monopoly set, Wozniak is partnering with G4TV, airing episodes of Scott The Woz in hour-long blocks as part of the collaboration. G4 has been an essential part of video game culture in the past, and it's looking to reclaim its crown with its relaunch. There are few better ways to do that than bringing on talented young creators like Wozniak.
Wozniak's journey has been an exciting one to watch, and it seems likely that the creator has a bright future ahead of him. With any luck, the creator will get additional collaborations like this one in the future, which seems likely with continued growth.
