The pieces are modelled on the characters in the lord of the rings movie taken from the book J. R. R. Tolkien. The pieces appear to be made out of resin. They are large and heavy-largest piece being 4.5 inches tall. They will be wrapped individually in bubble wrap and then packaged in a large plain brown cardboard box. This sale is only for the complete set of pieces and not a board. The characters are- White Side (Good) King – Gandalf the Grey Queen – Galadriel Bishops – Aragorn Knights – Gimli Rooks – Frodo Baggins Pawns – Samwise Gamgee Black Side (Evil) King – Saruman the White Queen – Ringwraiths Bishops – Lurtz Knights – Orc Overseer Rooks – Moria Orc Pawns – Orc

lord of the rings. chess set.
made of plaster then painted they are not resin but still worth the asking price. i have seen plaster sets go for a very high price. love the pieces and am pleased with them and look like the characters. not heavy though that does not matter and would buy again. not like the picture as the picture shows them with an antique stain finish. mine are plain brown and cream with no felt base and again that does not matter i have a nice chess board for them with two inch squares ideal for the set.

Nice set if only the black pieces were not brown instead
Saw the same set made of the same stuff for around £400 online so i loved the price. with black vinyl square stickers i made a table into a chess board. The pieces came wrapped well. Out of the box the black pieces are not black they are brown and thats not great but my GF likes the set. nice pieces to play with however due to the design there is no distinct rook or horse so it takes a bit of getting used to. The colour is an annoyance

Great value for a really nice chess set
Really good figures in great detail. Very happy with the quality and price. I’m sure my son in law will love this set. Came very well packed and in good time. I’m not familiar with the lord of the rings characters myself, but having checked them out against the film characters on line, they appear to be a very good representation.

Worth the money.
I was really excited about receiving this chess set but unfortunately it doesn’t look like the pictures through which it being advertised.The detailing of the pieces is rough and quite poor as you can see from the pictures I’ve attached.The coloring is also completely different from the marketing pictures with the black pieces being an actual washed down brown and the wite units being more of a whased down beige.The feel of the pieces is quite alright and in terms of size they do match the description.Later edit: I was contacted by the supplier regarding the quality of the items delivered and offered a discount on the purchase. Based on the new price the chess set is definetly worth the money.

Quick delivery, wel packaged great detail
Got this for my chess chess and LOTR enthusiast partner and the details on the pieces is great for such a low price. Packaging seemed a little high but once it came it was very clear to see why, individual wrapped including soft polystyrene nuggets to protect them. Each piece has a nice weight to them and look very similar with very minimal differences between them.

Very tactile and inspiring. It adds a new dimension to the game!
A fantastic chess set. It has inspired me to construct my own chessboard to accommodate the pieces. I've been purchasing materials to do the task and I know that I'll be pleased with the finished product so that the pieces are complimented!
