now thats IS cool

Sweet. I\'d love to have just the chess boards.

A serious flaw in the second set: how the heck are you supposed to remember which of these three \"warrior\" figures represents which chess piece? You don\'t want to confuse a knight with a rook at a critical moment.

I always do this with my warhammers, using the general as king, mage as queen, dragon princes as knights etc... You can always use tyranids to make the aliens and space marine for the humans:idea:

You don\'t think anyone is buying this to actually play chess, do you?

I know a guy that would cream himself to get ahold of this chess set.

Ah, come on now, people cream themselves for a variety of reasons nowadays.

Back in my day, it had to be something really special, like a poster of Farrah Fawcett....lol

The one where she\'s leaning on the back end of a car, with her back to you, and
looking over her shoulder with that little grin on her face?

Or the one where she\'s sitting in profile wearing tight jeans and a button-down
shirt knotted at her belly?

Either way... yeah. She did good posters.

This one:

Every boy in my sixth grade class either had that poster, or wanted that poster in their room.....

Except for me of course, as I just wanted Darth Vader and Micronauts...

My stuff held up better over time....lol
