What can I say? I love it! I might have used different Shogun minifig pieces
for the kings in addition to flag changes, but it still looks great. It is
obvious that you put a lot of work into this board. It would be nice if The
LEGO would save fans the trouble by offering pre-made chess boards so that we
could build our own themes. I would like to see in a SAHS Catalog boards made
in the the following color combinations:
- Black & White (Standard)
- Tan & Brown (For that Classic look)
- Blue & Gray (great for Civil War/Calvary battles)
- Orange & Cool Purple, or Red & Blue (for those who prefer fun colors
over tradition)
- True Green and "Statue" Green (for those with a lot of soccer
players...)
Lastly,
- Red & Black (It also doubles as a checkerboard!)
These boards should include chess-related elements that would ordinarily be
rare to LEGO sets, such as 2 horses per color (with saddles matching the board
colors), 2 gold crowns, Board-matching "Princess" hats, 2 different wig styles
for each of the queens, 2 different colored male wigs, broadswords for the 4
Knights, and other minor things you can add to your own LEGO Collection.
Not having the needed number of tiles, I can only marvel at the works of
others. Otherwise, I could probably round myself up a nice board, especially
with a minifig population of 50-something, including 2 Insectoid Queens (ooh...
catfight!), all 3 Ninja Shoguns (Blue, Red, and White/Black), and a large
general population, plus minions to the above.
Keep up the good work. If you had enough of your Ninja Sets to sell, I
would probably want to buy one.

| It was a fairly obvious idea but one I had to make and it was a lot of fun making the set. Thank god for bulk purchases of the B&W tiles 2x2 from LD. And some timely purchases of blue slope 45 2x2s. LMKWYT ! (URL) most fun of course was the rook (...) (23 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle.ninja, lugnet.build, lugnet.fun) !!
