Recommendation: meh 8 / 10 by Stiel

Overall, this is a nice set with a very good value-for-money ratio, and I have no regrets about buying multiple boxes. It definitely delivered in the areas most important for me. Also, if you didn't have any Kingdoms figures before, you don't have to care too much about the color differences, and this is a great set to get two sizeable armies for a low price in one swoop. That said, you should consider the quality issues before buying this set.

Recommendation: no 3.5 / 5 from 34 reviews

I bought this for someone who is learning to play chess and loves legos. You can not play with this so therefore it is useless. Every time you move a piece a part falls off so it is fun to put it together but not something you can use to play chess with. The makers of this product need to rethink it or send some kind of adhesive that you can glue the part together after yo put it together so that it is a usable item.
