The Noble Collection The Lord of the Rings - Chess Set: Battle for Middle-Earth,Black

Product Information

This chess set follows a more traditional but beautiful design, which stays true to the LOTR theme. This particular set is one of a three-set series made by the same manufacturer, featuring a separate collection of characters, each on uniquely styled boards. The chessboard is a magnificent work of art detailing the story of Frodo throughout his incredible journey. An ancient map of Middle-earth is mounted below the playing surface.

Based on the look and feel of the Lord of the Rings films, this chess set has details as beautiful as Rivendell itself! It’s officially licensed Lord of the Rings merchandise and has been painstakingly designed to deliver all the awesomeness of the film series. It even has likenesses of the characters that were approved by the actors themselves.

Categories and Details

The level of detail achieved on these lead & resin pieces will appeal to anyone, even the players who are not fans of the LOTR story. Recent options in this area tend to focus, for obvious reasons, on more recent Star Wars film and TV releases; mixing them up with classic characters from earlier in the series. But this Saga Edition makes no apologies for concentrating on the original, and perhaps the best, trilogy with its widely-beloved stars like Chewbacca and Darth Vader. The sculpts are great quality, full of life and detail, and they’re made of good quality hard plastic.

All pawn pieces on each side are played using the same character. A pair of a single character represents the knight, bishops and rook pairs. The design makes it easy to know which character plays which part, unlike the other boards on this lost. Do you remember when we mentioned that some of these chess sets are subtle in their LOTR styling? Well, this is not one of those subtle designs.In all honesty, the Eaglemoss Collector's set is a worthy chess set, which you can buy as an addition to the Noble Collection's version.
