Woolworths (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump2.php?url=http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?mid=1219&id=30372) instore, not sure about online, have a selection of character chess sets at half price - £14.99! The ones I can remember are Star Wars, Simpsons, and Heroes and Villains.

I got the Heroes & Villains and think they are the perfect way to introduce young children to the game. My 4 yr old daughter is already hooked :lol:

Had hte star wars one for a while (since the last time they reduced them to 1/2 price) and they are really nice. The actual board is a bit cheap, but the pieces are solid heavy resin/plastic, nicely detailed and about 2-3 inches high.

Only problem is that you need to memorise what each piece is if you are going to do any good at chess! (not that I tend to beat my daughter any more - only 8 and she thrashes me most times!)
