Go to any gaming store (WoTC, Gamekeeper, etc.) or high end toy store. They'll have plenty.

Why play chess anyway? Play GO :) The game of Go rulez

Oh hey, you're in LA.
There's a Gamekeeper or WoTC (not sure which) in the Westside Pavilion, and Puzzle Zoo on 3rd Street Promenade. Try those first.

i looked at gamekeeper, they didnt have enough selection, and what i saw i couldnt afford. I do Love the Romans VS. Egyptians, though.

I have a set of pewter (at least that's what I think the material is) ones that I got when I was in Russia. Handmade, handpainted, the worksmanship is incredible imo. I wish I was at home so I could take a pic of it. I haven't seen any sets like it for sale in the states, so I'm glad I made the investment. too bad no one in my family besides me knows how to play...
