transformers chess set January 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Bought for my 7-year-old chess lover as a birthday gift.
Minor annoyances:
1) The pieces look like pewter but are really plastic. However, they seem sturdy and none have broken yet.
2) I find it difficult to tell the difference between some of the pieces; there is a chess icon on the bottom of each piece for reference. I have to constantly look for the icon to tell which piece it is. On the other hand, my son knows the transformer pieces perfectly!
Overall, my son loves the transformers chess set and plays with it every day.
gift for my brother January 7, 2008

My brother is a die hard transformer fan and he loves to play chess so i thought this would be a great gift. the only down fall i have to this product is 2 things.
1. The plastic smell that seems to linger that we hope eventually will go away
2. the peices are hard to read. we got this so he could teach his girlfriend and its difficult to tell what peice is what.
I recommend this game for more of a collecters item then one to use.

i liked this chess board so much that i bought it for my 10 year old nephew because the pieces were said to be pewter-like... they were plastic, that is clearly not pewter-like... other than that i believe it is a wonderful set to play with...
Great for young new learners December 16, 2007

I am using this game to teach my 6 year old how to play chess. I needed a set that would spark his interest in the game. He is doing well on learning how to play because he loves the Transformers and the "good guys" versus the "bad guys". After one game he was able to remember how most of the pieces move. We do have to constantly look at the symbols on the pieces to figure out what they represent because the figures that the game uses are in no way representative of the traditional pieces. However, I do think that this is still a good starter set for new young players. I figure that once my son really knows how to play, we will get him a set with traditional pieces.

I paid a bit more than the current price (9.00), however this was a very nice set with very precise pieces. A friend of mine just loves this type of product and was totally pleased. Great deal at the current price, paid about 20+ dollars when I ordered it, still worth it.
