Combining Lego with chess is almost too much awesomeness for regular folks to handle. This is one of the coolest models that Lego has put together in a long time. According to the Lego website:
Includes 31 minifigures, 2 giant trolls, 2 horses, 2 skeleton horses and 2 dragon heads! Minifigures are ready for battle with armor, swords, shields, and other cool accessories! It’s a battle of good dwarves and knights vs. evil trolls and skeletons! Build the 4 realms in the corners of the chess board – the skeleton realm, troll realm, dwarf realm and castle realm! Measures 17″ (43cm) squared!
As you might imagine, a Lego chess set like this one does not come cheaply. You will be paying approximately $300, a lot of money for something that you have to build yourself; but that is part of the attraction. With 2481 pieces, it is going to take a while to build.
Available for pre-order from July 1st at Lego.com.
