$128,000 Handcrafted Star Wars Chess Set

$128,000 Handcrafted Star Wars Chess Set
French luxury item manufacturer S.T. Dupont has created an expensive handcrafted Star Wars chess set to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the saga. It is sure to blow fans away, even if it is out of most of our budgets. Let the conflict between the light side and the dark side begin. The round chess board is made of black obsidian with a polished and matte finish and the Empire and Rebellion pieces are sculpted to resemble characters like Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Han Solo and Chewbacca. Each piece has gold design elements as well.

The Empire pieces are nephrite jade from British Columbia while the Rebellion pieces are natural rock crystal quartz. Each is hand-carved and engraved with detail. The gold-plated rim of the board resembles the Death Star’s exterior as well. If that isn’t enough, the drawer pulls on the board feature the symbols of the two sides. It will cost you about $128,000 if you must have it.

Dalek Chess Set: Check-Exterminate!

Deviantart user Slythenperior rendered this awesome 3D Dalek Chess set that I for one, would love to own. It’s perfect and shiny and captures the spirit of the Daleks so well. Check-Mate? More like Check-Exterminate!

I’ve included some of his other Dalek designs below. If I could have all of these wonderful toys I would be perfectly content to play as the bad guys all day and let someone else use the Doctor figures.
