Let's see. I like the Sakura clock I bought months ago and the Clow Rod. Along with the Clow Cards, I think I'll be buying the dolls next.

The chess pieces come with the magazine CLAMP no Kiseki. The first volume appeared April 12th in the United States. Please beware the price of the 32 page magazine + chess pieces is $29.99

The chess pieces are part of the CLAMP no Kiseki magazine, which is a 12 part magazine series highlighting the work of CLAMP as they celebrate their 15th Anniversary. The magazine can be found in the United States at WaldenBooks, Boarders and comic book stores, in addition to online stores and at TokyoPop's website store (TokyoPop is the U.S. translator for CLAMP no Kiseki.

The magazines come out every other month. Issue one is now available and I believe it's up to issue four in Japan.

Nice, so you can play the pieces right?

It's a nice chess piece alternative.

Yes. With the magazines, all 32 pieces will be available. Mokona(the white) and Modoki(the black) are the pawns. Sakura and Tomoyo are the queens. Bishops are Watanuki Kimihiro, Subaru Sumeragi, Misaki Suzuhara and Seishiro Sakurazuka. Syaoran is one of the kings...the rest I don't know though I can find out later on

They are up to issue eight now in Japan.
I bought the first set at Borders a couple weeks ago. The detail on the Chess Pieces is really nice!
I can't wait to get the next set! That little Watanuki is SO cute.
Here's a list of all the figures:

[Queen] Sakura Kinomoto (Cardcaptor Sakura), [Pawns] Mokona-Modoki (Tsubasa and xxxHolic)
[Queen] Tomoyo Daidouji (Cardcaptor Sakura), [Bishop] Watanuke Kimihiro (xxxHoLic), [Pawn] Mokona-Modoki
[Bishop] Subaru Sumeragi (Tokyo Babylon), [Pawn] Mokona-Mokodoki x 2
[Rook] Misaki Suzuhara (Angelic Layer), [Bishop] Seishiro Sakurazuka (Tokyo Babylon), [Pawn] Mokona-Modoki
[Rook] Suu (Clover), [Knight] Nokoru Imonoyama (CLAMP School Detectives), [Pawn] Mokona-Modoki
[Knight] Hikaru Shidou (Magic Knight Rayearth), [Rook] Kujaku (RG Veda), [Pawn] Mokona-Modoki
[Rook] Chi (Chobits), [Knight] Akira Ijyuin (Man of Many Faces), [Pawn] Mokona-Modoki
[King] Kamui Shirou (X), [Pawn] Mokona-Modoki x 2
[King] Fuuma Monou (X), [Bishop] Miyuki (Miyuki-chan in Wonderland), [Pawn] Mokona-Modoki
[Bishop] Fai (Tsubasa), [Queen] Yuko Ichihara (xxxHolic), [Pawn] Mokona-Modoki
[Bishop] Kohaku (Wish), [Knight] Kurogane (Tsubasa), [Pawn] Mokona-Modoki
[King] Syaoran Li (Tsubasa), [Pawn] Mokona-Modoki x 2

Syaoran isn't until the last set!
Looks like I'll probably be ordering the last three sets from yesasia.com because I know I can't wait til those come out here! Fai, Kurogane and Syaoran are in the LAST three sets!

You are very welcome!
I'm pretty excited about them, as the quality of each piece is really nice.
They are a little bigger than I thought they would be also.
I was picturing something pretty tiny until I actually got them and saw the size.

rights..

so that means you got to collect the chess pieces gradually (for eg: monthly with the magazine?)

All of the magazines and chess pieces will be out in Japan by the end of August, so you could order from yesasia or something.
In the U.S. one magazine comes out every other month, and we just got the first one last month, so it will be a LONG time before they are all out here.
There are 12 magazines, and Fai, Yuuko, Kurogane, and Syaoran are in the last three magazines!

On the plus side, you can read the magazines that are put out here in English.
The first one has lots of really cool info and profiles and such.
But I will probably order a few of the ones I really want from Japan, because I can't wait so long to get my favorite pieces, like Fai, Yuuko, Syaoran, Kurogane, and Nokoru!

but what about the chess board?

In Japan, the chess board is sold with a container that also holds all the magazines.
I don't think the chess board is anything real special. I thought it would have characters or designs on it, but I'm pretty sure it's mostly plain.
I don't know if they are going to sell that in the US or not.
You can usually find the board and holder on ebay.

ooh..
is it made out of plastic?

You know, I'm really not sure.
If you type in search.ebay.com/clamp-chess you'll probably get one.
Don't know if they will tell or not though.
I think most boards (that aren't Really expensive) are made out of some sort of thick board and covered with a plastic lamenate or something.

...$99.99 =_=".....they think Im rich
