I posted this back in August when we only existed on Facebook. Considering our discussion yesterday about the Forestmen chess pieces and Classic Castle contest, I thought a re-post here on the blog would be worthwhile...
'icgetaway' developed this amazing custom LEGO Star Wars chess set which he's shared at various venues online and at Star Wars days at Legoland California (2009). There's a lot to like throughout the entire set. A detailed chess board with built-in storage. Custom chess pieces that utilize Star Wars minifigures and resemble mini-vignettes.This particular set focuses on Episode IV: A New Hope. I can only imagine future works that span the entire Star Wars universe! Perhaps with the 30th anniversary of Empire coming at the end of May, 'icgetaway' might grace us with another fantastic chess set based on that film...
