I'm glad I have the first version which came out in 2007. I also recently got the Godzilla Monopoly. While it retains the original 40 sided board (as opposed to the newer modified 32 sided one...
). It does have newer changes I'm not fond of like making the properties directly after GO Brown, and the title deeds themselves rectangular instead of square (not earth shaking, but still...why mess with the classics?)
I feel complete however. I have a Decent Original Monopoly. I have the 1st Star Wars Monopoly (1997), 1st Transformers Monopoly (2007), and now Godzilla Monopoly (2020). I think I have all my major hobbies covered, unless they come out with a Super Robot Anime Monopoly, which I highly doubt.
All the variants for whatever interest you have are nice, but when they start changing the board itself, the speed die (I hate that stupid thing), and some of the other more traditional facets of the game, it just becomes far less special IMHO.

If it's the one that came out on 2007, or 2009, those are DW designs, not IDW, which I very much appreciate.
https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Monopoly2007/2009 has designs based on DW
the 30th anniversary 2014 version has designs based on the original Toy Box Art
then there's the duper-duper deluxe version released at ComicCon in 2017
