I take it these were not like the Viking Chess sets and available for a couple years? Which stinks, wish I had money back when these came out (Or when that massive Castle chess came out!!!)

just to add some to this conversation, and the comparison between vikings and pirates chess's:

pirates:

-the pieces aren't glued ... yes... the board, the knight and the rook of viking chess was glued

-better desing... the monkey is hilarious, but not the redcoat knight... and on the vikings... the queen most have to had the valkerye from CMF #7

vikings:

-the quality... lego pirates has a lousy quality (green yellowed hands and cheaper plastic on the minifigs! )

both are entertaining, and great to army builders... but also expensive!
