    Default DC Batman Chess Set Collection at Newsagents

    Saw an advert for it last night on tv, just picked up the first issue today, twice

    http://www.eaglemoss.com/dc-chess/aus/index.asp

    The book has info about Batman and his stories and such, as well as how to play chess.

    I'd highly recommend subscribing to get the chess board as well. Here is a list of the pieces.

    White

    Batwoman
    The Question
    Red Robin
    Batwing
    Nightwing
    Black Bat
    Catwoman
    Comm Gordon
    Batman
    Alfred
    Robin
    Azrael
    Batgirl
    Katana
    Huntress
    Black Canary

    Black
    Red Hood
    Killer Croc
    Ventriloquist
    Two-Face
    Black Mask
    Riddler
    Hush
    Joker
    Bane
    Harley Quinn
    Poison Ivy
    Ra's Al Ghul
    Scarecrow
    Penguin
    Mr Freeze
    Man-Bat

    Some you can find pictures of using Google image search, but they look pretty cool. I can see it will work out to be quite expensive in the end though, these things always are. $20 an issue, first one is cheaper as usual. I don't normally buy these magazine things, but the pieces alone look cool enough for me to buy a set, and a few doubles

    yeah saw that the other day in my newsagent, tempted but then I set it down, Im still trying to complete a few of my "bugs". The only one I really ever completed in those newsagent things is my Brass Orrery. I got it complete and working but now it's just taking too much space to display, same with the bugs so I kinda have to have self control on that one.

    I picked up the first piece, they seem to be hit or miss with the paint of what i have seen, and i find it hard to drop $20 a week for 32 weeks

    Very tempting, I'm gonna check it out the next time I'm at the newsagent. I agree it's a lot of (Bat)coin and a bit of a gamble with the paint but I can see it being a very nice little thing to look at.

    It is impressive and I would want it but not for the overall price they are asking.
