I think it looks like a good set.  I do like the knight of the Imperial.  How where did you get it at?  I graduate from college tomorrow and should be getting some graduation money.  A nice chess set might be in order.  I have a nice wood board, but the wooden pieces I got with it are not the best.  I have a couple of good painted, themed sets, but I prefer the staunton over everything since there is no confusion over what is what.  I have 2 sets and the knights, bishops, and rooks are not marked.

ebay!  Search House of Staunton - they run several auctions every week that end on either Saturday or Sunday night.

Interesting, nice sets.

Fantastic photos, thank you. I should post the Zukertort one when it arrives maybe next week, they said it was limited to 50, so should be interesting.

I bid on a burl box, but didn't win so I got one of the mahogany ones.

I actually dislike the knights.  The Murphy knights looks undead and I think the hair is funky on the others.

BTW, where's that w/green chessboard from? HoS?

I'd kinda like to have a zombie chess set.  Give new and rich meaning to "eating pawns".

True.

Is the Morphy set bathtub proof?

?

Alright, with the right person, I'd play bathtub checkers.  I'd be worried about the pieces swelling from the water, causing them to crack.
