Well, it was all so long ago...

Why not get an Israeli - Iran war set.
That's far more hip.

Thumbs down on the cutesy pieces.

Get a traditional Staunton set...something not sold by "The Franklin Mint".

Staunton is THE only way to go. It was the best, is the best, always will be the best.

Their models range from moderately low, to very high price - but they're top of the line. I meant to get one of those...Maybe as a gift to myself right before I go to OSU?

Maybe you could find it on eBay. It's worth a try anyway.
