SOTA Toys has announced the March, 2006 release of a high quality Aliens Deluxe Pewter Chess Set featuring the Colonial Marines versus the aliens from James Cameron's Aliens movie. The Colonial Marines side of the resin chess board features the space station from the movie, with the sides of the board showing the alien infestation. The chess pieces will be made of a nearly unbreakable pewter.
The Aliens Deluxe Pewter Chess Set has a MSRP of $374.99 and will be available in two versions, one with painted pewter pieces and the other, more limited version, with polished pewter pieces.
This set follows the Aliens vs. Predator Chess Set, produced by SOTA last year (see 'Aliens vs. Predator Chess Set Details').
