Interested do we know when the buy will take place I am still kicking myself for not getting in on the first buy.
 
I’d go 100 purple 20s instead of 40 purple 25s if they go.
 
WTF.... I need some chip viagra. I'm looking a little "short" compared to everyone else :confused

I'd be in for a small order of chips ..... couple barrels of the purple $20/$25 whichever denom gets made and a barrel or two of the white $1. Maybe a barrel or two of the yellow $5 but that will be a game time decision :tup:

Green 25¢ x100 (instead of his 100 25¢ Pink)
Blue $1 x 200 (instead of his 200 $1 White)
Orange $5 x200 (No replacement)
Purple $25 x60 (instead of his 60 $25 Green)
White $100 x40 (instead of his 40 $100 Black)



Can somebody bump the Green 25¢ ?? :)
 
I'm seriously debating getting two racks of green fracs to replace my blues. But then that bloody orange one keeps catching my eye. I spent this morning playing with chip combinations and was late for work and still hadn't come to a conclusion.

I love the green fracs. But your set looks SO good!!

Just get secondary fracs (green) and secondary $5s (orange). Problem solved.

Unlike most, I'm not a fan of the orange 5, the blue edge spot doesn't do it for me. And I love my 5s - the red with the yellow edge spot is amazeballs.

I'd replace the blue fracs with green and the green 25s with violet 20s but that ruins the colour progression I have. Blue fracs -> blue edge spot on the yellow -> yellow edge spot on the red -> yellow edge spot on the green 25 and the dark green edge spot looks black -> black hundo and the light blue edge spot links back to the frac.

I'll probably just stick with what I have since I'm pretty happy with them. The violet 20s are a back-up just in case the green 25s really do cause problems with dirty stacks. The dirty stack is a non issue for my game as we'll hardly ever have 25s in play but it's handy to have mitigation just in case. I have a barrel of white hundos already to go with the violet secondaries. And if they're $20 denoms, that ensures I don't have duplication.

I love the orange 5 but I might be kind of bias as it’s my favorite color. :)
 
Update:
most likely:
100 purple $20/25 (doesn't matter because they will be relabeled as $500)
100 pink fracs (would go 200 to meet minimums)
100 green $25

If the green $25 doesn't make minimums, I would likely go orange $5 or blue $1 for 300 either way
 
Am I sick to want to get in on this just to sell the chips and keep some shiny new Matsui racks? Yeah probably.

I am surprised by the lack of interest in the yellow $20 chip.

I have to say that I just don't understand all the affection for the Matsui racks. They work well for 43mm chips and that's the only advantage for me. They are delicate, finicky to close, the chips fit loose, and they stack poorly. Standard racks seem a better design in almost every way.

Also, they come with tape on them that leaves a sticky residue.

FYI, I'm not selling mine now, but it could happen at some point.

You are so right! I can’t explain the attraction. So foolish! When you get ready to sell them I call dibs :)
 
Green 25 dollar x 100, maybe more, blue dollar backup

Is there any interest in swapping the mold on the yellow $20 and green $25 to the same mold as the black $20 and purple $25? I know that would mess up the $100 options. But I just don't like the moon mold, and how the rolling edge has too much of the spot colors. Might be better to move the moon mold to the $100 for both versions of the $100 (white and black). And maybe swap the spot colors on the white $100?

Here are some ideas -- keep in mind that the design tool doesn't do a good job of representing the colors very well. The colors on the chips are the exact same as in the first batch -- so look at the chips for the colors. These mock-ups just provide the overall design ideas.

Thoughts? Or just stick with the same chips as the first group buy,except add the purple $20?

Another option for fixing the side-paint problem, would just be to flip the spot colors on the green $25 (to get rid of the fact that it looks like a yellow chip from the side). I wish we didn't have to use the moon-mold at all, I like the other design so much more -- for instance, I like this $100 so much better, same colors.

Anyway, I'm getting ready to open the order thread, which will be a fairly tight window, only open for about a week. But need to make final decisions about which chips to offer before posting the order thread.

I really want the green 25 the way it is now. Don't think we will get enough numbers anyway

My thinking is that if a secondary chip were popular, there would be plenty of the primaries around for people who prefer them. But we'll see. Certainly would be easier to just stick with what we ordered the first time.

If we don't get enough numbers or you change the 25, I won't lose any sleep over it , so do what you want ;)
