(More customer reviews)This is the first time in 8+ years as a loyal Amazon shopper that I went over to the Dark Side and bought something at B&N instead. But when the same item is offered for $19.95, and I could get free shipping (whereas here, this same set is NOT eligible for Amazon Prime), a member discount, and apply a coupon, there was no choice.
My son played with this same set last night at Cub Scouts as they were learning the basics of chess. He said he wanted this one, and I figured, if it's going to foster an interest in chess, I'll buy it! Until I saw the $55 price tag and no Amazon Prime. Having already experienced the flimsy box and somewhat cheesy board, I had decided to forge on ahead. Good thing I read the helpful Amazon comments on one of the other Harry Potter chess sets, which mentioned the much lower price elsewhere. It's much easier to swallow those imperfections when I only ended up spending $14.95 on the whole thing.
BTW - the pieces themselves are quite sturdy and the boys were having a lot of fun with them. As for the box, well, I've got lots of random boxes hanging around!
