    I would buy an Avatar Chess Set (pewter figures preferred)

    Natural opposites would compete:?? Air & Water VS Earth & Fire

    SET 1:?? King = Sokka, Queen = Katara, Bishops = Aang & Gyatso, Knights = Hakoda & Pakku, Castles = Appa & Momo, Pawns = little airbenders and waterbenders

    SET 2: King = Ozai, Queen = Ursa, Bishops = Azula & Zuko, Knights = Kyoshi & Roku, Castles = Toph & Bumi, Pawns = little firebenders and earthbenders

    OKAY - somebody make it for me so I can buy it!??



    My chess set would be: Air/Water/Earth vs. Fire.

    White King: Aang Queen: Katara Bishops: Roku and Kyoshi
    Knights: Appa, Sokka Rook/Castle: Boulder, Ice Shield
    Pawns: Earth Kingdom soldiers in and earthbending pose

    Black King: Ozai Queen: Azula Bishops: Iroh and Zuko
    Knights: Rhino and ShirShu Rook/Castle: Fire Nation Ships
    Pawns: Fire Nation Soldiers

    Variations: Sokka would be both white knights, or the Yan Yu archers both black knights.

    As much as I dislike contributing to the merchandising gimmick, came close to gettin one of those Lost Scrolls book thingies. They're considerably inconsistent at certain points, but the backbone behind the information presented is impressivly detailed and intriguing. And the official art used for illustrations is equally impressive. Kinda makes me really wish they had use the same for the cine-manga instead just ripping and pasting screenshots from the episodes. Anywho here's a little tidbit of the Fire Nation background: The Nation wasn't always a monarchy, it was once ruled by a council consisted of the Sages up until the Great Sage (the leader and also the most spiritual and powerful) sought to solely rule the Nation without the remaining Sages (ie Lord). This caused an imbalance/struggle for power between the two sects which lasted for several years until it reached an equillibrium in which Sozin rose to power and the Sages were submitted under his rule. Huh, did not know that.
    So the Fire Nation was like the Roman Republic and Sozin is somewhat like Julius Caesar?

    Huh, that's kinda what I was thinkin. Considerin how everything turned out, someone seriously should've gone Ides of March on that motherbender. Ah crap, made a pun. Eh.

    Well Azulon was died mysteriously 6 years before Aang was out of the ice, most likely at the hands of Ozai. Et tu, Ozai?

    Is that so much to ask??

    I would buy a backstage style pass that would allow you to spend a day with the creators at their studios.

    The parrots are getting hungry.
