For Origin, in-game, store, or marketplace credit card purchases, we may run a pre-authorization charge to make sure the card is valid. Once completed, you'll get immediately refunded. Some banks may also charge fees for certain transactions. Pre-authorization feesA pre-authorization is a temporary funds hold, not a true charge. Pre-authorizations will usually only show up on your credit card or banking statement as "pending charges."These test transactions are commonly used by online retailers prior to running the full charge for a purchase. If the pre-authorization fee is refused by the bank or credit card company, the full charge is cancelled, and the purchase will not be processed.Pre-authorization fees will be automatically voided, and the funds restored to your account, within a few business days (typically within seven days, depending on the bank). When this occurs, the void may be listed as a refund, or the pre-authorization fee may simply be deleted from your account history, as it was never a real charge.
We make every effort to assess the lowest possible pre-authorization fees. Depending on the minimum transaction allowed by the bank or credit card company, our pre-authorization fees range between $0.00 and $3.00 (in your local currency).Other fees assessed by the bank or credit card companyThere are other reasons why you might see a small additional charge associated with your Origin purchase. Some banks may charge an international transaction fee, cross-border transaction fee, or currency exchange fee when processing transactions in a different country and/or currency. These fees are not assessed by EA/Origin, and we are unable to assist with explaining or refunding such charges. Contact your bank or credit card provider to understand these charges.

Featuring fantastic custom LEGO minifig capes, these custom BrickHeadz designed by Kale Frost are simply brilliant!
The scene pits two of DC’s most popular superheroes against each other in a friendly game, as these characters battle it out across the table. Judging by the pieces left on the Chess board, it looks like Superman is losing pieces faster than a speeding bullet. See more of these superheroesTell all your friends! At this point, chess sets made of LEGO are old hat. Heck, there’s many official sets too, so it’s not limited to custom models. But there’s something elegant in this version by Bartosz Sasiński. Not only are the designs of each piece worth taking a look at, but the white faction pulls off a faux wood effects by incorporating brown into the white and tan. Magma Guy has posted a really lovely chess set in honor of our 9th birthday! Built in Brothers Brick colors, the set really pops. I am a big fan of brick-built chess sets and the quality of this one is top-shelf. I especially like how the designs of the two sides are quite different but maintain a similar style.
The board itself is simple yet elegant. The use of brown as a highlight really ties the green and white together as well. I would love to play a game or two, Magma Guy! This is the STAR WARS: RETURN OF THE JEDI Chess set. It is the 3rd and final installment in a series of three LEGO Star Wars chess sets that Brandon Griffith built in celebration of the Original Star Wars Trilogy. Check out the other two sets; A NEW HOPE and THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK Will you play the Light Side? or the Dark Side? The third-quarter LEGO sets are now officially out, led by both the new LEGO Lord of the Rings and Marvel Super Heroes sets. If you buy $50 from the LEGO Shop between now and the end of the month, you’ll get an exclusive Hulk minifig that’s not available in any set, for free. And you’ll get the original Frodo minifig movie poster with any LEGO LOTR order. Having *ahem* cheated and picked up some of these sets at a local brick-and-mortar store on Sunday, I can attest to the awesomeness of a tiny Gandalf and even tinier Frodo — with suspenders!
— in 9469 Gandalf Arrives. Here’s the list of all LEGO LOTR sets that are out now: 9469 Gandalf Arrives: Comes with Gandalf, Frodo Baggins, and one of the new horses Chris covered in his review of 9471 Uruk-hai Army. 9470 Shelob Attacks: Includes Frodo, Samwise Gamgee, the One Ring, and Gollum. 9471 Uruk-hai Army: With Eomer, Rohirrim archer, four Uruk-hai, and a new horse. 9472 Attack on Weathertop: Has Aragorn, Frodo, Meriadoc Brandybuck, two Ringwraiths, and two of the new horses in black. 9473 The Mines of Moria: I picked this one up locally too, and it’s a pretty fun build that has lots of play features and cool minifigs — Legolas (resulting in the inevitable puns while I built the set, followed by swooning from my wife), Gimli, Boromir, Peregrin Took, two orcs/goblins, and a very large cave troll. 9474 The Battle of Helm’s Deep: The largest set in the theme at $130 and over 1,300 parts, this set comes with Aragorn, Gimli, Haldir, King Théoden, and four Uruk-hai (including the torch-wielding berserker).
9476 The Orc Forge: This set is exclusive to one of the big-box retailers if you don’t get it directly from LEGO, and has Lurtz, two orcs/goblins, and another Uruk-hai. Here’s a closer look at Helm’s Deep: Finally, just when you thought the current LEGO Castle theme was (mostly) dead, LEGO has just released a new 853373 LEGO Kingdoms Chess Set. Main Hulk minifig offer link for US readers: For our Canadian readers: And for our UK readers:Similar deals may or may not be available in other countries. I’m a sucker for LEGO chess sets. I’ve built several myself and once you get going, it is hard to stop. This miniature set, by Matt Armstrong has a deceptively simple quality to it. The pieces are all made from the micro trophy figure, from the Collectible Minifigure series, and at first glace are nearly indistinguishable from one another. However, the bases of the chess pieces are just different enough that one can tell the various pieces apart at a glance.
Now I want to go make some more chess sets… There are so many things I want to say about this, but mostly, I’m just in awe. This four-section creation by Rook just has so much gorgeous detail. I’ll start with the obvious: the four parts interlock to create either a tower or fortress, and changes the dynamics for each mode. Then there’s the bone-tree, the “giant” chess set, and the detailing on the towers. I can’t pick a favorite detail on this. Just take a look and see for yourself! Thanks for the heads up, Bley Junkie! As follow up to his A New Hope chess set, Brandon Griffith (icgetaway) presents another beautiful set that captures the key characters from The Empire Strikes Back. I really like the Hoth themed game board, and the fact that it also acts as storage for the pieces is another plus. Check out the full details on Flickr.And I think it might just come after me in my sleep. Making its debut at Brickworld in Chicago, this massive chess set features a year-long build time, over 100k pieces, and 32 NXT.
Your design team features:Project Lead: Steve HassenplugChess Body Design: John BrostSoftware & PC Interface: Ron McRaeMove Selection Center & Showcase Event Coordination: Bryan BonahoomChess Clock: Jenn Wagner With nearly 2 dozen people helping with the actual build, this chess set is clearly a herculean effort. It looks simply amazing. These are two sets that I made for Classic Castle’s Chess Challenge, which ends tonight. I had a lot of fun with these. I’ve never made two matching creations in different scales before. I’m hooked on Chess sets now. I think I’m going to do some more… I play a lot of board games, and while chess isn’t at the top of my rotation, I still appreciate a nice set. This little set by akunthita looks like the perfect thing to bring on a flight or road trip to a Lego convention. I think its the presence of drawers to store the pieces that really makes this thing for me. The pieces are expressive enough to get the point across, especially given their small dimensions.
