I also kept all my sample set info in a running Google spreadsheet. Username, number of each chip they will receive. Shipping address and full name obviously

Thanks Man, that is a really good idea.

Due to the limited number of the Limited Edition '007' chip, just thought I'd mention that 18 sample sets have been ordered, which leaves only 2 that will definitely include the '007', with the possibility of a couple more. Just saying is all ... .

For those 18 on the list, and the others yet to come, please PM me your postal details when you are able.

Off to bed now. .

Question: How many sample sets do people usually put up when they get a set done? I am mindful of all the shipping arrangements as I am in Australia . Is 20 okay?

When I did my sample set I let people order as many as they wanted until I finalized the order with CPC. Can't remember exact count but was about 55-60 full sample sets.

With shipping back and forth you may want to consider having the samples sent to a forum member in the US. CPC did this for me, just remember you'll need to pay separate shipping so make sure to include it into the sample set costs (I forgot and ate the costs). This will also make it cheaper for you as you'll have to pay gst and stamp duty when they arrive in Oz, so the less there is the less it will cost you.

If you have any concerns or questions about it let me know.

I like the burgundy ring for the DB. Do you want to do the M in blue still?

Cheers mate, appreciate any advice I can get as I am new to all this. My only limitation is the '007' chip, as only 30 or so can be made and still keep to an acceptable level of alignment. The other 4 chips can be unlimited essentially. I figured that a US-based 'distributor' would be necessary to avoid unecessary additonal shipping costs. I will make sure that I include all shipping costs . I will converse with one of my associates on this in the near future. I will probably take you up on your offer of additional advice in the near future, cheers mate. BTW, are you after a sample set at all? I hope I didn't miss your interest post.

Cheers,

I'll need two sample sets, actually - both with dealer buttons. One for me, and one for the Bond fan.

If I can only get one 007, because I'm too late and we've hit the limit, that's fine. I'll give it to the fan.

 

[12thMan]

I am confirming my sample set, with limited edition chip (love it) if available, shipping will be to USA 98258. PM incoming shortly with my shipping details.

Also, does this:

mean that in total you are only ordering 30? And you're selling 20 out of those 30 to the members as a sample? Wow, that's really cool. I feel like you, as the owner of the damned set, to only end up with ten of these chips is a sacrifice on your part. I know my greedy little hands would want a barrel of them at the very least.

Cheers to you phantom! (saying "cheers" is definitely not part of my normal vocabulary, but I've always liked the expression. Same with "good on ya." )

Consider it done MN, two sets, with two 007s and two DB, good on you mate.

Haha, thanks mate , appreciate your support and kind words. Glad to put it up for others to enjoy. I hope it comes out as we hope. I wish I could have had more made, but I believe it would stretch the friendship with David at CPC. Ad

How have I missed this up until now??? I'd like a sample set please, if it isn't too late! Chips only (any and all chips available.) USA shipping.

Hey Ben, lucky number 20 mate (most likely one of the last LE 007 chips on offer) .

Might still part with a few more if necessary, but only a few .

I'll definately grab a sample set. I wont take a 007 chip. Save that for a bond fan.

Mate, you're in. Very noble of you, but I will put you down for one anyway as you helped me get this far . If I can't help out a fellow Aussie ... . On the other hand, are you saying that you aren't a Bond fan?! ;-)

 

[stocky]

I don't mind them, just never really got into it too much. Should probably read the books and see if I like them.

 

[Phantom]

I think you will like the books. When you read 'Moonraker', you can imagine using this chipset at Blades .

I will update the OP, but for those interested in a cut/cover card - I will be obtaining these through Alain at Poker Chips Design. The cost will be $5.50USD + SH. The available colours are;

1. Gold Card / Black engraving;
2. Silver card / Black engraving;
3. White card / Black engraving;
4. Green card / White engraving;
5. Red card / White engraving; and
6. Black card / White engraving.

If ordering a cut card, please stipulate which number you want and the colour combination you would like (just so there is no confusion ). There are no minimums, so choose the colour you prefer.

Cheers,
Adam

[sleepypiggly]

How did I miss this until now?!? A 007 chip? Holy crap awesome. I’m in. Not sure what the deal is on the 007 chip, but I’d like one if at all possible. Totally makes the sample set.

I’m in for one full 5-chip sample set. New York, USA, 11374

Hi 12thMan. I didn't think of that, but at this stage, I only require poker size. I can make enquiries as to bridge as well if you would like that size. Actually, I will make enquiries, as I wouldn't mind a bridge size one as well . Will update OP with result of enquiries.

Cheers

Reckon you just snuck in SP, . Thanks for the enthusiastic response, it was great . Cheers.

 

[Phantom]

Ok. We have one more sample set that will definitely have a '007' chip included. I have bumped it up to 25, which leaves me with a few to do the 'chip-roll' thingy like Le Chiffre from Casino Royale , and perhaps one as a competition thingo.

There are still DB of course .

 

[Phantom]

The last Ltd. Ed. '007' chip has been assigned to a sample set.

However, it is of course dependant on those on the list confirming their interest via PM with shipping details in the next few days. Thanks .

I have spaces for 5 more sample sets before I place the order next week.

I am very pleased to offer 30 samples, but I am super keen to get this ordered and underway . I just don't have the available $$ right now to cater for future interest in samples and would have very few extras I could part with if I only order 25 .

Hope your week is finishing up well . Bring on Friday arvo.
