Star Wars Chess: Poll

[Big Pete]

I think the questions are mis-leading ... the answer is clearly "yes" and "yes" ... afterall, how could I pass on a chance to get a load of figures for not a lot of money ... but I know that it will never happen for the various reasons already stated, so in reality, answering "yes" will make no difference at all!

[JimBee]

oh, yeah, yoda, but theyd have to be like... $5/euros

oh, you got me ecxited there, simonjedi! thaougt is was lego... |-/ ;-)

Well DUH! If this was a petition in the Embassy, it'd go sky-high. But since it's here we can have speculatory discussion. There's no need to pull a drive-by, shooting people's positive opinion down.

The moment I saw Jar-Jar as a Rook, I knew it wasn't Lego. ;-)

Well i voted Yes and yes, but only if it is based on the new clonewars film/tv show. Think of all those battle driods, clones as the pawns and jedi and sith and other badies. The queens would be padme and Asajj Ventress. So who would not want that chess set then!!!! *wub*

[CopMike]

What a cool poll *y*! But I

[Ras 74]

Would I like to get paid to sleep with Jessica Alba?

You mean in cash or bricks?

It would be sooo expensive for her to sleep with me.

Both in cash and bricks is the answer. And really rare parts X-D

[commandosevy]

Well the mini figs would be super duper great and the bad thing would be the price. But still Id buy it.

[Oky]

Do you want Star Wars chess? *sing* Hell Yeah! About time something like that would come around! :'-) A clone wars one would be wonderful, and a supersized one like the new castle chess with the trolls would be just fantastic!!!

Would you buy Star Wars chess? Nope! :-P Only maybe if it's on sale for like half the price and looks too good to miss out on.

[Vaders_son]

Yeah I want a Star Wars chess!! And I think I'd buy it, too - maybe on sale some time.

I wouldn't care if the figures were old but troopers from any army.

I would not like a chess set with only main figures - just look at the EP I chess with EIGHT R2D2s as paws. Who hasn't got at a R2D2 by now?!

Besides, I somehow can't bring myself to like Vader beeing mentioned as a *queen* *tongue* *tongue* *tongue* *tongue* *tongue*

TLC - make it and make it cheap *thumbup*

[Nikola Bathory]

I voted: Yes and Yes.

I would buy such chess, but it depends of the price. If it's insanely high - no, thanks.

[commandosevy]

I'd want if TLC had a starwars chess set:

Ep.2 troopers=pawns

Ep.2 scout troopers=rooks

Ep.2 shock troopers=bishops

Ep.2 Arc troopers=knights

Ep.2 Yoda=King

Ep.2 Padme=Queen

Geonosian BD=pawns

Geonosians=Rooks

Blue Super BDs=Bishop

BD commander=Knight

Dooko=King

Sith Girl=Queen

But what about a..... minis chess set!!!

[Vaders_son]

That would be an awesome chess-set - at least until you look at the price I think

[Wilhelm screamer]

I really could use a Star-Wars chess set because I am laking in main character minifigures .

Star-Wars chess ON!

[Vaders_son]

I plan to sell some main character figures

It's a topic in the BSTF forum.

Best regards, Benny

That's waaay uncool. Bumping an old topic just to plug your (rather unspecial and really unlikely) proposal.

I answered yes to both questions. Great way to get minifigs (clones/stormtroopers as pawns).

Might as well be

Do you want to sleep with Jessica Alba?

Would you pay to sleep with Jessica Alba?

So, of course I voted Yes to both. Because even though it'd be cool, LEGO will never produce Star Wars chess, and I'll never get boinkage with Jessica Alba

I wouldn't sleep with Jessica Alba, (therefore I wouldn't PAY to sleep with her) because I have a special girl right now. So, no, I find that question to be quite different.

I hope Siegfried is our new main mod; I like his style. The best and most helpful comments are usually negative ones...we don't have many of those around here.

[Rogue Angel]

(I'm sure this has already been said, but....)

I would definitely buy an OT Star Wars Chess set, but probably not a prequel set.

It would also depend on the quality of the chess set - I'm not going to buy C-3PO pawns, or just re-releases of existing figs, but I would love to see a higher end chess set ($250ish) with actual bases, and maybe even some new figs...?

Edit: I also didn't realize that this thread was 4 years old.

[georgebjones]

THey have made a few chess sets already, I don't see why they wouldn't make one if the license agreement allows it.
