Wow looking at your posts thinking the chess set can do no wrong and trying to pick me apart insult me or whatever.  
The  students in chess club are so geeky and socially awkward I can’t stand to be involved with them anymore so I do varsity football now.
When they grow up they become  weird awkward adults just like you people.  It’s so sad but now I understand why nobody normal plays chess. I also understand now why chess is dying out.

In school I’m sure you were all picked on and bullied. In your adult life I’m sure people still think your dorks.

I think it's a good move of you to change sport, doing football now. Chess is a dangerous sport, every year  thousands of people end up in hospital with injury from a plastic queen poking in their palm.

This is a great set, great value, love the heavy weight. Relatively inexpensive, and what you get is a great set that should last for years. Great for Blitz, Rapid, or traditional. Love taking it to club, specially when others now want to play me on my board vs theirs.

Hands down my favorite set for blitz or NYC park play.  I also really like the butter yellow.  I'm going to order another yellow butter set for myself and a white set for a gift.  I also changed the the felt of my butter yellow set and it really stands out.

@ShelbyLohrman  It's 4 more months until Black Friday. Do you think stock in the Butters will last until then? I still need that Butter set with a handful of extra Butter pawns. thumbup.png

Once they're gone, the Butterball sets will more than likely become a sought-after commodity (people always seem to want what they can't get). Who knows, in time it might even become a collector's item!

On "OG" original Ultimate Chess set (pre-Butter) with original cardboard box is available on a popular auction site currently. You don't see that original box too often.

$111.88 shipped. Yikes.

The concept of "collectable" has a broad and subjective perspective.

I got two sets of the yellow ones I don’t intend to keep. One used (got it on eBay) one pre owned (bought it new from source) but never used.

I see CoffeeChess Youtube channel has Amazon links (sponsored of course) to the v3 Ultimates set. No love on Hikaru's Youtube channel(s) though. But hey, it's all good. thumbup.png

Those old Ultimate Chess boxes should have never gone away. Amazing.

Can you imagine Kasparov, Karpov or Anand playing plastic chess on the street or in the park?

 

Hikaru Nakamura has a lot of content on his YouTube channel where he plays the Ultimate chess set, and this is a big advertisement for the Ultimate Chess
Set.
