He loves to play chess too, and I have tried getting a tridimensional set from that place in Las Vegas where they have the show, but was not able to. Hope I can get this one for him now. Merry Christmas sweetheart!View [*]

I cannot complain about the quality of this site, as I had no idea what to
do with the board before I got it.  I like the Star Trek movies, but I've
never been a real fan of any of the shows, so the only place I'd ever seen
one of these tables was in the window of the Franklin Mint store.  

All of a sudden, for Christmas 04 I get one of these from the Franklin
Mint; certificate and everything from my neighbor.  I cannot believe that
she spent that much money on me for Christmas.  If she did, then I am
absolutely flattered.  $200 plus dollars?   Insane!  

I have to admit that it is really cool lookin'.   I just wish it didn't
have the Star Trek logo as I am a huge Star Wars fan, and never the twain
shall meet.  

My only complaint about the site is that if the moveable boards are
supposed to be able to connect to the bottom or the top of any of the
stationary boards, then why do they slip out so easily from underneathe? 
I can't get those pieces to stick in like that.  Especially if there was
the weight from any of the pieces on them.  And one can't say it's
because the pieces aren't well made, because Franklin Mint prides

This site is great. The way to set up the board is almost like getting a
rule book for free!

Jay, 
    The current price for a set NOW as of 2004 is about $250-350 in a good
condition - very good condition.

Chris,
     You can get some good high gloss gold paint and buy a cheep set/set
peices, then use a toner like used on a car let set for a day or 2 the
paint gold(smooth side to side strokes work well for the king to look
good)
Also check ebay because i see peices all the time. If you shop smart, you
can get a good set rather cheap.
