I'm hoping someone in this group may have the information I'm 
looking for.  A few years ago my sons and I played chess at a 
park which had giant, (King was about 3' tall), pieces 
and since that time I've dreamed of owning a set just like it.  
The chessmen were made of heavy plastic and were manufactured by 
a company in the UK.  The price was sort of high when I checked 
their website, and if the shipping cost is added in, the price 
becomes prohibitive.  Does anyone know of a similar set made by a 
company in the US?  I would greatly appreciate any leads!
