CARLSBAD, Calif., Nov. 6, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Ralphie Parker is back. Yes, the name sounds familiar because you have probably seen him every holiday season since 1983 in the classic American film, A Christmas Story.
Fans of A Christmas Story can test their trivia wits and challenge friends to beat their score via an interactive trivia quiz at www.thepinkbunnysuit.com (inspired by Ralphie's pink bunny suit, of course). If you are clever enough to nail answers to questions like, "Who gave Ralphie the 'pink nightmare' bunny suit for Christmas?," you could be eligible to win an actual leg lamp, the Old Man's most prized possession -- though getting a low score still allows you to enter to win. The interactive trivia website features an array of quirky questions amidst a backdrop that showcases A Christmas Story collector's MONOPOLY(r) game and a 550-piece leg lamp puzzle.
Made by USAOPOLY, The A Christmas Story Collector's Edition of MONOPOLY(r) allows fans to relive the funniest and most memorable movie scenes as players buy, sell and trade treasured mementos like the Secret Society Decoder Pin, Hubcap Full of Nuts and Randy's Snowsuit. The game features collectible pewter tokens in the shape of the Fragile Crate, Ralphie's Bunny Suit, the Leg Lamp, a Bar of Soap, Ralphie's Broken Glasses, and the Old Man's Car. The most valuable property on the classic MONOPOLY(r) game is the Boardwalk property, which has been aptly changed to "BB Gun," named after Ralphie's most coveted Christmas gift. And not just a BB gun... a Red Ryder BB Gun!
The jigsaw puzzle captures Ralphie and Mrs. Parker examining the infamous leg lamp. The real standout quality of the puzzle is the wooden crate it comes packaged in. Think back to the scene in the movie when the Old Man receives his leg lamp in the mail in a wooden crate labeled "This End Up - FRA-GILE."
The coupling of a classic holiday film with the characteristically packaged puzzle and a fun A Christmas Story themed MONOPOLY(r) game is enough to bring out the Christmas spirit in anyone. USAOPOLY's A Christmas Story puzzle and MONOPOLY(r) game can be found at retailers such as Macy's, Barnes and Noble, Linens-n-things, JC Penny and Borders. The interactive trivia quiz is available at www.thepinkbunnysuit.com
