LEGO Kingdoms Chess-Set available now!

LEGO Castle fans rejoice; a new LEGO Kingdoms chess-set just became available on LEGO’s website: #852273 LEGO Kingdoms Chess-Set. I have to say that LEGO did an excellent job keeping this one a secret from LEGO Castle fans! 🙂

Here are the details on this new LEGO Castle set: Play chess with minifigures in regal LEGO Kingdoms’ style! Build a 32-minifigure chess set with kings, queens and knights from the LEGO Kingdoms building sets – with weapons and accessories!

Build all 32 royal characters, then the black & white baseplate board! Put your army in place with their weapons and accessories, then battle with your opponent in a classic game of chess – LEGO style! Includes a storage box!

  • Features 32 minifigures with assorted weapons and accessories
  • Includes storage box
  • Play chess with royal minifigures and weapons!
  • Makes a great gift for fans of LEGO Kingdoms building sets!
  • 328 pieces Price $49.99

The molded castle-base looks very Mega Bloks-ish, but on the positive side it keeps the price of the LEGO Chess-Set down. In fact, besides appealing to LEGO chess fans, this set is a dream for LEGO Castle army-builders; you get 28 minifigures for $49.99! That’s $1.78 per minifigure – an excellent price! Plus you also get a bunch of weapons, a 32 x 32 green baseplate, 32 white 4 x 4 plates, 32 black 4 x 4 plates, and many other parts. This is a dream deal in anyone’s book!

To check out further details and to buy go to LEGO’s website: LEGO KINGDOMS CHESS-SET AVAILABLE NOW, or click the box-image below. Please note there is a limit of 5 sets per household. I guess LEGO wants to limit the size of your army. 🙄

We have been talking about the LEGO Lord of the Rings sets extensively, but there was one exclusive Lord of the Rings set it was not possible to get good images for – until know. It is the #9476 LEGO Lord of the Rings – The Orc Forge. This set is a Target exclusive, and is in stock right now on Target’s website for $39.99 (not sold in stores). For a better look at all the awesome details just click the image;  it will open a larger view. 😉

At least to me, this is one of the most exciting LEGO Lord of the Rings sets. I’m a builder and MOC-er, not so much a collector, so I always look at the usefulness of the LEGO elements in a set. All the dark-tan, brown and gray elements here look very useful, not to speak of that beautiful brown printed wood-grain tile! Also notice some of the new olive-green! The armor-pieces, weapons and shields are a LEGO army-builder’s dream, and the minifigures look deliciously evil! 😈

One thing I noticed though is that LEGO got rid of one of the Orcs in this set. As you may remember; in the preliminary images and video review there were five Orcs included. Now there are only four…

So what do you think of the LEGO Lord of the Rings Orc Forge? And which one is your favorite Lord of the Rings set so far? Share your thoughts in the comment section below! 🙂
