Is this the thing where it's like $15.00 or so for each figure and they give you the board for free?

Wilhelm-Scream · 06-28-2006, 02:34 PM

I thought this was just going to say "TAKE A SHOWER!"

Carter · 06-28-2006, 02:34 PM

I just got what they call the "douche chills"

Daisy · 06-28-2006, 02:34 PM

I don't know.

Perhaps you'd like to check it out?

Danalys · 06-28-2006, 02:36 PM

I thought it was "My face is up here" or "Being nice to you doesn't equate that I want to date you".

Actually, it's a one-shot deal.

$500 and it's yours (well plus S & H

).

http://www.sotatoys.com/prod_marvel.htm

"The Marvel-themed sets will feature intricately designed chess boards and high-quality pewter chess pieces. Each chess board will be designed to capture environments and imagery unique to Marvel characters. The boards will also feature a sculpted lid that lifts off to reveal a storage space for all of the chess pieces. Made of high-quality pewter, these chess pieces will be nearly unbreakable."

Does anyone else see that last statement like sort of a challenge?

I can't even say anything, because I'm sooo getting the Nintendo Monopoly when it's released.

Erzengel · 06-28-2006, 02:46 PM

There's something wrong with me, cause I keep reading "Chest sets".

Darthphere · 06-28-2006, 02:47 PM

But aren't astronauts usually Air Force? I prefer Navy.

And I'm much better with chocolate chip cookies.

No. I just have a short but intense attention span.

All I can think about now is that I want to try to break their 'nearly unbreakable' chess pieces.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't see "ass pieces" instead of "chess pieces" a couple times.

And... I think I'm the worst one here... because on reading 'Spider-Man Chest Sex" my mind immediately went scatalogical.

I think if you're having trouble telling the pieces, there may be a little too much novelty.
