jonfett Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 Just to let you guys know, someone at Classic Castle has posted saying that the minifigs are NOT glued, but the board is. Jon. Quote
ApophisV Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 Ooops, read this already some time before (on 1000steine, where CCs official reference comes from), but forgot to post it here... :$ Quote
xwingyoda Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 Guys, Its just been out on the US SAH !!!!!! I thought some of you could be relieved by this news ;) http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?p=G678 Quote
The Middleman Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 Great news, Yoda! I might pick one up later. Quote
jonfett Posted June 11, 2005 Posted June 11, 2005 Some one has posted a couple of pics of the box at Brickshelf http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=132347 Here's a close up of the queen for you Rutmar :) I'm gonna keep my eye on this gallery and see if it updates with pics of the minifgis out of the box. Jon. Quote
takuto20 Posted June 11, 2005 Posted June 11, 2005 Well if you search for "chess" or "scach" or "ajedrez" or wathever in Brickshelf you'll find much better things!!! http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=992001 Quote
Mr. Lego-builder Posted June 11, 2005 Posted June 11, 2005 For those who would like a closer look at the box itself, see Brickshelf. Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted June 11, 2005 Posted June 11, 2005 This looks like a great set. Thanks for posting the images. I most like Vladek's side and the case. I will definately be buying this one. Quote
jonfett Posted June 11, 2005 Posted June 11, 2005 Jojo has posted a bunch of pictures of the new chess set, including shots of every figure. Check them out here. Jon. Quote
Mr. Lego-builder Posted June 11, 2005 Posted June 11, 2005 Thanks for more pictures, Jon, or should I say, Jojo. ;) Quote
xwingyoda Posted June 11, 2005 Posted June 11, 2005 Woaw, tks Jon for the link ;) Those minifigs are awsome !!!!!!!!! This chess is really amazing for army building !!!!!!! Lets hope TLC will release more of those (1 per theme!!!!). I would definitly go for a viking, pirate SW ches game !!!!!!!!! Quote
Mr. Lego-builder Posted June 11, 2005 Posted June 11, 2005 One per theme would be nice, but I doubt it. (It might happen though. ;) ) Also, I bet a lot of people are relieved that the minifigures aren't glued! Quote
gylman Posted June 11, 2005 Posted June 11, 2005 Just ordered me own set at S@H canada. "ship by june 30" ( but usually they ship before). Can't wait. Cost was $70, which is cheaper than 50 Euro I believe. I have seen, as pointed out previously, some awesome lego chest set MOCs but there is no substitute for an original shiny MISB Lego set. Cheers from Canada Gyl Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 12, 2005 Governor Posted June 12, 2005 She definitely looks like she has a skeletal head in these close ups... Quote
Starwars4J Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 This really is fantastic. If they did make a Star Wars version of it...they could find a way to give AFOLs figs en masse, without violating the agreement with Hasbro. This would be fantastic, although they probably would have done it by now...I mean, an OT set would be sweet, stormtroopers vs. Rebel soldiers, Ep 1 would be crap (gungans vs. driods), but Ep 2 and 3 would be sweet (actually, just Ep 3). Clone vs. Jedi! We could get a bunch of council members that way. Non-lightup Mace as the "queen" (yeah, yeah, I know), and other coucil members for the bishops/rooks/etc. Pawns could be generic Jedi. Of course...none of that will ever happen :'( oh well... Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 13, 2005 Governor Posted June 13, 2005 Its just occurred to me! What this Chess set really is, is an over glorified mini-figure pack! Quote
Mr. Lego-builder Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 There are imitators... Ohh...sheesh...already?! I hate imitators! (Good thing it doesn't look TOO similar to TLG's) Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 18, 2005 Governor Posted June 18, 2005 Ohh...sheesh...already?! I hate imitators! (Good thing it doesn't look TOO similar to TLG's) Assuming that LEGO hasn't copied them... Quote
Mr. Lego-builder Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 8-| You don't think TLG has turned to "The Dark Side," do you? :P Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 18, 2005 Governor Posted June 18, 2005 Yeah it did that at the end of about 1997... Quote
