CLAMP No Kiseki: the Ultimate Collection

[Mark91]

In addition to the North and South side Artbooks, Tokyopop this year has decided to release the current on-going release of CLAMP No Kiseki: the Ultimate Collection, into English, which is GREAT news for the CLAMP Lovers here in NA!
CLAMP No Kiseki is basicly just a collection, featuring the greatest moments of all of CLAMPS wonderful wroks, such as X, Clover, Magic Knight Rayearth, Chobits, and my personal favouite Cardcaptor Sakura. Each volume is set to a certain series, or in the later volumesm quite a few! It also has backround info, artwork, how to's, and lots of other neat extras, including *drum-roll* three chess pieces a volume! Yep! CLAMP Style Chess pieces! They're little Chibi Versions of the characters, so in the end of the 12 volume run, you'll have a complete chess set, CLAMP-style!
In addition in Japan they also have a Chess Board to hold these, and it comes with a box to hold all the volumes of CLAMP No kiseki, I'm praying that Toykopop decides to release this aswell, seeing as you have no where to hold all the little pieces, well, other than keeping them in the package, but that's no fun!
Some cover pictures of I belive the first 5 volumes(in Japanese) are shown below:

That just looks too too awesome for words. I heard something about the series,but no real details until this moment. Oh man, they even have chess peices. I can die happy now.

I just can't wait for this to come out.
