For US buyers, the Chess Set is now $39.99 saving you $10. Maybe in response to the new Chess Set being leaked?

Edit: Tried to write United States as an abbreviation with periods and it converted it to (you).S.

I saw that. I'm thinking about it but I know the second I grab one, it will drop even lower.

Last year, I got the viking chess set for 50% off. Great deal!

It's on sale at the Canada option too: C$54.99!!! That's a 37% markup on the US price. Considering that the Loonie is at par or stronger against the Greenback, that's a tad excessive.

uhhh how do i say the chess set has been at this price in the US for a few months and was even posted here.

No kidding, I got mine for $50, and a month later it's $40! This is good, as it is a fast way of making Crown and Skellie armies (which I like to pit against BF)

I've been saving up to get some, they have actually been on sale like this for months (Before Christmas at least), so I don't think it would be in response to the leaked pics of the new Chess set.

Yeah I saw this as well. The local Lego Store has about 10 at this price. I am tempted to get another one.

I hate to be a braggart, but I got a chess set from said Lego Store which had been damaged in between the factory and the store for $25. The case was damaged, but the figures were in perfect condition. Talk about super good luck!

That is good luck my friend. I wish I had a lego store near by.

Bought a couple of these, they're awesome minifig packs. The only question is what to do with the chessboard and case. I wish the 4x4 tiles weren't glued, I could use some more. Oh well.

Yeah, i am getting this set for sure, i just contacted the Lego store and asked them if they plane on the chess set price being lowered down to 50% off. They said they weren't in charge of pricing, so i asked them who is in charge and how i can contact them. I am waiting for a response now.

It is tough to pass up a dicounted castle set. Even it is $10 off as in the castle chess set. Since I have still have not gotten the castle, skeleton ship, or the dwarf mine, (is it really discontinued?) I am holding off on getting more chess sets. Hopefully the price can be discounted again.

Maybe if we all contact Lego and ask if it will be discounted, they will budge. HAHAHA

I placed an order for it. Probably not the best of choice because its price my drop in a month. But I wanted a reason to purchase the impulse set as well.

I just bought one, too. I didn't want to risk it going the way of Castle Tic Tac Toe.

Even at $40, it was still the most expensive LEGO set I've ever purchased (!!!). Yup, just coming out of their dark ages, that's me...

Many forum-ers seem to think that it will eventually drop to half off, and I'm sure you are all more knowledgeable about that sort of thing than I am, so maybe it will, but again - I didn't want to risk not being able to get it. If that makes sense...

Can't wait for it to arrive!

"Even at $40, it was still the most expensive LEGO set I've ever purchased (!!!). Yup, just coming out of their dark ages, that's me... "

I've been collecting LEGO since I can remember (Ok, I'm only 16 now, but still..) and I just purchased my most expensive set last year; Castle '07's Dwarves' Mine (Picked up two, actually), the most expensive set I had bought other than that was a Star Wars set when I was about 11, I think it cost $30-$35.


I haven't made my purchase of these sets yet, and before I do get any could somebody tell me how much glue there is in this set?

The Vikings set had the glued baseplate, glued queens, and the brick-built chess pieces were glued. I'm sure the board is still glued in this one, but any word on the other parts?

Thanks!
