Earlier we reported that this set look like it was a suitable replacement for any standard plastic piece chess set. Well, some fans wrote us to explain that the pieces in this set are in fact plastic that are painted with a pewter/bronze effect. This would explain why the set is such a bargain. Check out the description below and some images to boot. [More]
Here is the description, and some images, from the shop:
This is a pre-order item that will ship on August 21st. This stunning Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring chess set features sculpted figures, each depicting a key character from the award-winning film in superb detail. Each piece has either a pewter or bronze effect, with heroes depicted in pewter and villains in bronze. Each piece bears a great likeness to the characters in the film and the actors that played them. The chess set piece details are as follows:
Pawn: Hero – Sam Gamgee; Villain – Orc Warrior
Rook: Hero – Boromir; Villain – Orc Overseer
Knight: Hero – Aragorn; Villain – Lurtz
Bishop: Hero – Frodo; Villain – Cave Troll
Queen: Hero – Galadriel; Villain – Ringwraith
King: Hero – Gandalf; Villain – Saruman
This magnificent chess set will look beautiful in your home, whether you’re an avid chess-player or just a Lord of the Rings fan and collector. The chess board features a map of Middle-earth and measures a full 15 x 19 inches and the average height of the figures is 3 inches.

Some Tolkien fans are walking away disappointed after seeing Men in Black II. Why? Not because the movie was bad, but because the Two Towers Trailer was not shown! The moral of this story…make sure you call your local theater ahead of time to confirm the trailer will be playing in front of MIB.
(UPDATE: we are now getting a few reports on fans seeing TTT teaser with MIIB. I guess it really depends on your cinema and luck -Xo)
