Now, had someone asked us if we wanted to play with this LEGO Castle Giant Chess Set we might have most definitely would have been persuaded. LEGO has transformed all the plastic pieces into static LEGO characters including wizards, witches, skeleton warriors, dwarfs, trolls, the king and queen of course and loads of other characters too. Forget pawns and rooks, we want to see this lot do battle. It’s the ultimate battle of good versus evil with LEGO characters. It’s available HERE for around £140.
The pair of prankster pigs who appeared on-screen from the fifties to the seventies, leaving questionable quality relics from a licensing era thank goodness long passed.
