My son selected the Hastings set from WholesaleChess.  Here's a link to the same set on the HoS page -  nicer pictures...

We got the set yesterday and I must say I am sorely disappointed. 

• The set has plenty of mold lines and some flash in the more delicate areas.
• The pieces have a plastic ring to them as they are handled
• The pieces feel like they are hollow with a weight in one end, in contrast to the piece being heavy.
• The 'felt' on the bases is wholly inadequate.  It's paper-thin. If the piece tilts at all the edge of the base scrapes the board.

Life's too short, this set is going back.
