Title: Doctor Who Chess Post by: Peri-Peri on May 26, 2011, 08:18:42 pm (http://merchandise.thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/zapchessset.jpg) This set is being released on June 9th from Forbidden Planet (http://forbiddenplanet.com/73267-doctor-who-chess-set/) for what I think is an extortionate price of £26.99. Normally I wouldnt mind the price but the board looks like cardboard and the pieces look like they have stickers on them. Title: Re: Doctor Who Chess Post by: poprockgeek on May 26, 2011, 08:22:52 pm I saw that title & thought it was going to be proper DW figure pieces. I'm disappointed now. They could have done that so much better & justified a higher price :(
Not that I can play chess but with the right set I could be induced to learn :P Title: Re: Doctor Who Chess Post by: chrissymarieb on May 26, 2011, 08:28:23 pm Same here - I was all excited to see actual figures as the chess pieces and was sad to see the cube things instead. It's still cute though!

Title: Re: Doctor Who Chess Post by: Peri-Peri on May 27, 2011, 03:19:54 pm Yea they definately could have made more of an effort with it
Title: Re: Doctor Who Chess Post by: Saber on May 27, 2011, 03:23:07 pm I think its the board that bothers me most. It doesnt look much more than paper

Title: Re: Doctor Who Chess Post by: Peri-Peri on July 25, 2011, 11:16:43 am This is released today
Title: Re: Doctor Who Chess Post by: Peri-Peri on March 03, 2012, 07:25:18 pm No dates or pictures or prices or anything yet, but rumour has it that a new, proper chess set is being lined up for release with proper DW figures and a proper non cardboard board. Once there is more info I will post it.

Once there is more info I will post it. If this is true then I'll get one. I saw the other version set up in a shop and it looked awful. |
