Lego Star Wars Chess set


Lego Star Wars chess set



Finally an interlocking toy (Lego) and a board game (Chess) rolled into one. The brand name is Lego Star Wars. Were it features the characters in Star Wars IV: A New Hope.
Creator Brandon Griffith said this is the first of the 3 series that his planning to make.

One particular piece that i like is the one that closely represents a scene from the movie. My favorites are "Han Solo plus Chewie" & "Greedo". Remember them arguing and debating on Chalmun's Cantina, a bar located in Mos Eisley.


The challenge here is the durability of the chess board. The total weight is 25 lbs. That is like carrying 22 chickens or lifting a young rottweiler.
Another issue is how much will it cost. The Mini figures were the most expensive part on the chess set.

Since 1999, Lego has released over 100 different Star Wars Mini figures. So you can just imagine how many set of chess board you can make out of Star Wars. Don't forget, we have more characters in Star Wars the Clone wars and the Expanded series. How about wookies vs battle droids chess board? ewoks vs storm troopers?
Do you have your own idea of making your own Star Wars chess game? Post it on the comment box. Who knows your idea might be the next big thing in Lego Star Wars.
