The chess sets seem better value for money, but still, this is cute!

I think there is a dominos one out there too, though it doesn't have any figures. This is quite an interesting route for Lego to take. I'm waiting for Lego Risk, myself...

Quite an innovative way for them to sell MF packs. I do with they would just sell MF packs by themselves, but this is a good way for them to make money WITHOUT us buying multiples of a huge set, and for us to get MF

*shrugs* It's a compromise. Good eye :-)

$2 per minifig for tic-tac-toe, $2.5 per minifig for parcheesi. kinda steep for the tic-tac-toe since the police mf is like $1 or less on BL. not that good value but is another source if you need it. :-/

[Hobbes]

Yeah, the per-MF-price may be steep, but the overall idea is "cute". Sure, you could MOC these games yourself pretty easily, but I think I might get me one just for the sakes of buying a set. I just love receiving and opening boxes (who doesn't) :-)

Tks Gyl for finding that ;-) And yes...a Madman Keychain Collector only :-P ;-)

Actually I think TLC is doing an excellent choice there !! Mixing traditional board games with joyfull bricks and MFs !! Thats just brilliant !! I would have loved that as kid !! Tic-Tac-Toe with crooks and policemen is just brilliant IMO 8-

All I really need is a monopoly version with bricks... >:-)

i rather have risk or stratego (i think they are both the same, just different names). all you get with monopoly are roof tiles and at best 6 minifigs. risk or stratego on the other hand... *wub* *wub* *wub*

OOO, YES, BRING BACK THE PIRATE IMPERIALS IN A LEGO STRATEGO SET! THEY ARE PERFECT! *wub* *sweet* *wub*

Yeah, like that will ever happen. :-|

[xwingyoda]

Maybe as a chess game *wub* Imperials against Spanish Armada !!

Who knows with TLC ;-)

These would make awesome MFs! And alot of the pieces are already made!

I'm working on a full-scale (well, minifig-scale) Lego Clue Board right now. I know it's been done before by some folks, very well, but I wanted to take a stab at it. It's a lot of fun. I'll post pics when it's done. *sweet*

Heehee

I've thought of making a Clue related lego moc before, but I never got into it. I look forward to seeing yours! Right now I'm tring to make the Stratego soldiers, which no one has posted on Brickshelf (yet)!

[Shakar]

I'd kill those who say that Lego is losing its touch. They were no longer allowed to make MFs packs due to that stupid Hasbro license, but they sure found many ways to make disguised ones! I'm talking about the two Chess sets, the sets in this topic and the 2007 SW Battle Packs. See, Lego is clever, not to mention those new "disguised minifigs packs" are high quality ones.

Speaking of Chess, Lego gave me a wonderful idea: following their style, making new chess factions to go along with the official ones! I already have some ideas. ;-)
