It was also a nightmare to get the right pieces back in the right place in the box lol

Perhaps they're not practical, but I love the idea, I'm a big Lord of the Rings fan 
Incredible catch for just £1

Playing a game with my brother recently - using a LoTR set. Very confusing - but kind of fun - albeit we had to check with each other on what each piece was before nearly every move!!
Simply cool. 
I got gifted a very similar set around 20 years ago, it’s still at my childhood home somewhere! Not practical but the pieces were well made and heavy like yo said!

Nice set. I've got the Harry Potter set and like you I couldn't use them in a proper game.

It’s funny, I have few wooden Staunton sets in boxwood. They’re gorgeous but I think I prefer the plastic DGT set. Just wish the black pieces were black instead of dark blue-grey, Reminds me of bin bags. ;o)
I was thinking about it the other day, I think the visual impact of a set can alter the way you play and see the game and it shouldn’t. I tend not to do well on my DGT Pegasus. Not sure if it’s a size thing, ahem.

Flakovits swapped it for stamps ;-)
Kevin, send me pics of the chess set you dont like the colour of, show me the bottom of a piece of each colour too.
Got this from a charity shop for £1. Ive got a lot of chess sets from charity shops and what the americans call Thrift Stores (I think). I collect stamps so every now and then I go for a browse around them. Its pretty heavy, made from a kinda of resin. I couldnt play with this, I dont like the pieces at all from a practical point.
