“Firstly, the price is great. If the normal LEGO price per piece was applied, it would probably cost $144.99 All in all, I think 40174 LEGO Chess is a really, really good set. You should pick it up, for even at full RRP it is a steal. I highly, highly recommend it.”

“The LEGO Iconic Chess Set is, as its name implies, nothing short of iconic. It is one of the most hands-on LEGO chess sets available, in large part due to its refusal to include any minifigures at all! That’s right, if you want to play on The LEGO Iconic Chess Set, you have... More to build it all-board and pieces- from scratch. This set is for the true LEGO fan!”
