A set I don't own but have tremendous admiration for.
The blue and white set in o.p.s post is stunningly cool!
A 1.75" king magnetic set my girlfriend bought for me in Moscow, originally crafted in Poland. The board folds up and the magnets in the pieces seem to work pretty well. I especially like the plump queen in this one. It's a great little set for traveling and for analysis. 
I recently ordered two more chess sets from Amazon, which I'll be posting in a few weeks once I get them!

Too early to write a note to Santa for next Christmas😀?
musketeer, I've gotta admit that those Leopards look pretty awesome! I wouldn't mind having a set where my knights were actually giant cats - THAT is pretty darn intimidating.

Is that a Tron-icized version of the wobble set?
Man, that archbishop looks intimidating.
The chancellor looks a little bit like BCE's Queen (from Slovenia):
Gaedel, the knight in these sets looks absolutely fantastic! Who made it / what is the set called?
Here is my favorite chess set urban street art from chessbazaar.
In Russia we call this the elephant - 
And we call this the Longboat -
In Russian they also use the Arabic Ферзь ('Ferz'', lit, 'Vizier') for the queen
Yep! I love the names -
Peshka (footsoldier)
Lad'ya (Longboat) [In Ukrainian it's called a tura, or tower]
Kon' (Horse)
Slon (Elephant) [In Arabic it's called a fil, which also means elephant]
Ferz' (Vizier)
Korol' (King)
Still love my old 1980s Luga chess set that I've already posted here.
If you don't mind me asking, musketeer, how do each of the new pieces move for your variant?
Hello again, y'all!
Since I'm back in the US of A I've acquired two new sets. The first one, pictured below, is a reproduction of a 1959 Zagreb (which was originally designed for the 1959 Candidates' Tournament in Bled/Zagreb/Belgrade, and won by Mikhail Tal). I love the bishops on this set. King is about 3.75" tall. Pieces are weighted and very stable. I hope to use this one for many years to come
