Not a chance I’m buying this. It’s a total ripoff! Accounting for 25€ of shipping, that’s 775€ which is an insane price for a decoration.

That NA price is insane. It costs the same as both the LOTR and Harry Potter Noble Collection chess sets combined.

Dang!!! Really wanted it too. But not worth more than a ps5 I’m sorry
