From a post over on The Brick Fan, just2good of Eurobricks has stated a new chess set will go along with the other Pirates sets of 2015. This should make building an army of blue coats and buccaneers rather easy, eh?

This will do splendidly later on, much like the Kindoms set and other chess sets have done before it. 
Lock it in. 

Does anyone have the approx. part out value for this set? It is not in Bricklink or Brick Store database.

​And that would generate the question does anyone think it will stock out again soon ?

I'm looking to acquire a few more winter soldiers.  Are these chess sets typically gold post EOL?  Looks like a fun set to build if not.

​Kingdom's Chess is doing pretty well, but I'm not sure about Pirates.

Favorite part of filming this set is all the mini figures that can be piled onto all the other pirate sets.  Worst part of the set is that the pieces don't fit under the board even though LEGO made it seem like that would be an option.  Bonus is the I reenacted a famous game from years ago (aka - Game of the Century).

​I've seen how jangbricks put in the chess figures, he said that it's very difficult and you have to detach somethings for it to fit.

Nice anymation as always, even though I hoped for a small fight when the first pawnfight broke loose! ;-)

This set looks really cool!

i take it this set is only available at Lego stores & LEGO Shop at Home?

 

Got my lego chess set today same box with errors they must have done an addendum to the instructions as it has 2 sets of seals 05O5 and 21S5

​Sorry to piss in your cereal but your board is oriented incorrectly.  "White on right"  The back row square to the far right is always white.  "Queen on her own color"  The Queen always starts on her color.  Black queen on the black square, white queen on the white square.

I thought we all knew this and so would you if you read the thread. Ufema was just following the instructions, even though they are wrong,  as one does when they build a lego set. 

Thanks for another great video realy liked your last SW one with the weapon draw.

​I have read the thread.  However, in his video, he is replaying a famous, historical game, presumably for chess nerds (not the casual player.)  We are sticklers for the rules and what he was playing would be considered an illegal game and NOT the historical one.  Would it have been that hard to spin the squares around after building and before starting the game?

​I'm impressed.  I wish I had known about that when filming the video.  Never even knew that.

This set is on sale on the U.S. LEGO Shop at Home website for anyone wanting to pick one up.  Wondering if this will be going EOL soon since they have marked it down to $49.79 from $59.99.

more than likely yes ... the pirates theme is one i believe to be axed this coming new year to make way for new themes!

I've been thinking of getting a couple of these lately. I just don't know if I have confidence in their growth, so I've been more looking at part out value.

 

I'll be in for a bunch at sale price, never had a LEGO chess set yet anyways.

This is the #2 seller on LEGO Shop at Home currently due to the sale price...

I'm just glad they made it to the tractor promo.

I still could not bring myself to buy 1 even with the discount and the promo

It's a neat little set and should be a painless double once the Pirate theme disappears.
