Can't really get onboard that.

I am not even remotely interested in this idea. A yellow one or five is a must for me. I would prefer it to be a yellow one. I will settle for it being the five. Outside of that. I can be flexible with about anything.
I have really enjoyed a few of @BGinGA and @liftapint mock ups.

winner winner chicken dinner ... I love this chip for a 100
This is totally true. I've actually been in contact with a Matsui rep for the past 6 months, with the end goal of ordering a cash set of these. It will cost more than a group buy, but I'm probably going the custom route anyway. Just throwing ideas at the wall, in case those in this thread were interested. But if the collective comes up with something I really like, that could be a good option too.

I do like it. Honestly I'm less concerned with the fracs and the one hundreds. That's why I want the ones, fives, and twenty/twenty fives to blow me away.

How much more? Were kind of on the same page on denomination colors.
Well, artwork fee is $300/denom. That's the main difference -- spreading that out over more chips. I don't think the chip price itself changes with quantity.

Gotcha. That pushes it out of my price range if you would have even allowed me to jump in on your buy (I'm sure your design will be awesome!)

I like the first frac. Its much brighter. As I said, I probably won't be getting a frac anyways. The one is spot on. I would like a brighter, maybe a little more contract secondary color for the five. Lock up the 20!

Cost for individual sets is not bad if you are using the denominated outer rings. Not group buy pricing but not bad
We agree that we're all not going to agree unanimously when we all have an equal voice. You can see the fun we had the last time we tried a group think Matsui ideas thread. There's definitely a benefit to sharing the label artwork cost across multiple people which brings down the cost for everyone and is the only economical way to get the sharp edged denom in inlay chips.
Perhaps it's time for someone to define the chip set and inlay and the rest of us decide if we want to be a part of it or not with no "how about this or how about that". And for the inlay, something like the Nevada guy would be cool. No pressure @liftapint

I just kind of said the same thing to her via PM. I agree. Ultimately we need someone (or a small group of people) to come up with something to present to the masses. At a minimum, we need the chips and base colors.

Curious as to what the artwork fee covers
That's $2100 for seven denominations (and 5c, 25c, $1, $2.50, $5, $20, $25, $100 is eight). At that price, we're probably better off financially just picking a single no-value denomination label for all ordered chips (and a single $300 artwork charge) and each getting custom aftermarket labels from @Gear to fit our specific needs.
@Tommy -- will Matsui sell them blank/unlabeled?

It was a couple years ago, but the last time I talked to Miz he told me that if only the denom was changing he would cut me a break on the artwork fees. Hopefully you guys could work out something similar if this is the case.

No, I asked during the first WPS GB.
How do you delete a saved chip in the Matsui chip designer? I keep getting kicked to the main page each time I try, and the design never goes away.

Definitely interested in traditional colors. I agree with Tommy, borg colors work well here.

I don’t know what this means

borg = borgata (i assume)

Correct
Or switch to decal value moulds and only pay the $300 once given they’ll all have the same center.

By Jupiter! Not at all! The term "Borg" is a designant used to qualify the cybernetic race in the "Star Trek" TV show...
It must be concluded logically that the term refers to dark colors. Because the Borg are beings of great darkness. There is no other explanation

you are all wrong.
Borg is for John Borg, a pinball designer at Stern who has made such hits as: Iron Man, Aerosmith, Tron, Metallica, Avatar, Austin Powers, Twister, GnR and Jurassic Park
The colors of the chips will obviously be based on the main colors of these games

To get this thread back on track, I agree with these sentiments. We could go back and forth for years before settling on something if there isn’t some kind of process to keep us moving forward.

I like the idea of having a generic single label for the $300 fee, then having a boatload of chips to choose from. This allows everyone to basically custom pick which chips are what denominations making the order larger which in turn keeps the cost down.
Is there a minimum amount of chips that need to be ordered per design (if the group orders 30k chips, can there be 30 different color combos and spots as long as the center label is the same?)
