Just bumping the thread for an update. Any news? As the person who almost ran a group buy for these chips, there are still 2 things I'd love to see the company do for us:Hi, guys... Just a smallish update today. It looks like I'm making a deal to license these chips to a company, so they will come to the market on their own. I have no details to share at all, including when they'll be available, but I'm going to make sure that the chips are nice, (and that a yellow $20 is available).
I'll share more information when I can, and if it doesn't work out, we'll go back to working on a group buy. Thanks a million to One Eyed Dollar for stepping up to make a group buy happen, and to all of you for your enthusiasm for the chips!
1. Offer special pre-order pricing on PCF with a small discount before the chips go up for full retail price on their site.
2. Have the pre-order ready by October for all of us that were interested in using these chips for a Halloween tourney.
I think the demand for these chips is there. Let's make it happen! (y) :thumbsup:
The reason I don't like Chipco chips is how dull the colors often (always?)look. The artwork on these is outstanding! If these can be produced with bright colors it would be hard to say no.
Any information on what type of chips these will be? Sunfly Hybrids?

None of that has ever been shared. Only that it was going to happen.
I'm with @One Eyed Dollar as far as if I can't have a set of these by Halloween my interest goes waaaay down.

lolDoes it go waaaay up if there is another Halloween next year?
It goes waaaay down and then levels off and then about next June 23rd it goes waaaay back up again until the 3rd full moon of the next month.
Just sayin.....

It's a good vendor with good blanks. I just don't want to overstep my bounds and be the one to reveal it. But I think this project is sitting on the backburner and I don't want it to fizzle out!

Can we "kick" this project into gear? Only 2 months until Halloween!

I have sent some art files to the manufacturer, so the project is indeed in gear! While nothing is ever certain in this crazy world, I've been told that Halloween delivery should be doable.

Well, I've just been cleared to spill the beans that the Dia De Los Muertos chips will be made by Gene at ABC Gifts and Awards. He's hoping to do an initial run of Chipcos (maybe just for all of us in the forums) and then offer them on some other blanks for general sale.
Lemonzest, I note your concern with the colors on the Chipcos, and I'm a little surprised. Before BR Pro made the Tikis (my other design), I got a set from Chipco, and the colors were certainly vibrant (a number of critics said they were "garish" or "cartoonish," which was... well, sort of the point):

The photo on the first page is on Chipco blanks, and while I am working on making the purple chip much more saturated and colorful (and the black chip darker and richer), you can see how they're coming out even as an initial test pressing.

Wife (an art teacher) loves this holiday an gave me the go ahead to buy a set of these chips. I've had to hide, sorta, my addiction for 10 years. Are they still on track?

I think so! Take a look at this post:

These are looking so sick! Nice work on tweaking the colors and better differentiating some of the denoms too.
If anybody wants a matching pack of cards, I've got 3 packs of cards that are in a Dia De Los Muertos theme. They were from a Kickstarter campaign that funded more than two years ago, so limited edition. They were going to make 1000 packs, but I think there are actually way, way fewer in the world. Beautifully illustrated by a Spanish artist, but they are poker-size standard index paper. I'll try to post a picture up tonight,
