To me, I see a few subtle nods to the past in advance of the 50th birthday: the simplicity of Woolery's puzzle border, the "crown" from Pat's era, then the modern puzzleboard. The gold inner border kinda reminds me of the old wheel's alternating lights.

All in all, I love it. The "million colors of light" board was nice but was missing something IMO.

It's nice, but it also looks like it could be the plastic surround for a theoretical electronic handheld Wheel of Fortune.

I'm surprised they bothered to change the wheel configuration for the junior edition.  TDV of $700...lol.

Looks like they got rid of all 50s to make the math easier.

Fine and good until you have to buy a vowel!

Correct; vowels cost $200 as well.

Agreed. I know the weekly themes were there to customize the board area weekly, but I think game shows should embrace gaudy and have some flair.
