So...I really screwed up and didn't order a set of the BW chips. I want a set of 43mm hybrid cash chips so badly!

I know we can't even say the words "BW" :)
But would it be possible to run another GB to produce the same chips, but with a different inlay or blank chips?

I just love them. I have tried, and can't get on board with Sunfly hybrids that try to look like spotted clay chips. The Burros, Mountain, blah. I've tried. I can't.
But the Sunfly hybrids that are designed to look like Bud Jones chips....well, they look freakin' awesome.

Since I'm not "in the know" about the big BW "thing", I gotta ask the question....can we just produce the chips with different inlays?
 
I'm with you Mel. The Sunfly hybrids designed to look BJs are my favorite. I too love the BW design.

Short answer: no.

PM for details.
 
Me too! I'd love a set of 43mm chips with the Matsui look (denoms on the outer edge). Of course, the gold standard being actual Matsui but at 3x the price!

What about a new design? BJ style hybrids are on my list of chips I'd like to design in the next little while. Send me a PM if you're interested - could be a fun project!

If you can get a GB going you can obtain a pretty attractive price for the 43mm hybrids.
 
You will need to use a design (ring pattern) and color mix that doesn't match any existing design to get it through with SunFly. They won't do the BW design even blanks with that ring pattern/color would be a no go. But IMO the Hybrids that mimic the BJ V7's are what these chips excel at.
 
I agree. @p5woody designed a 43mm personal set for himself that was phenomenal, and I was lucky to be able to pick up some with generic tournament labels.

Same look as BJ chips, but much better playability imo. And incredibly affordable.
 
I don’t think it’s the BW label everyone is after. It’s the chip design. How far from the BW chip do you have to get before it’s ok?

A lot. And they require certification that it's an original design. Near-clones need not apply.
 
I bet we could come up with something that has a very similar vibe though.

I have not run a GB but thought I read at one point the problem was the label not the chip. And if so how do all the 818 patterns get by? Unless they updated their terms after those.
 
I’ve seen a lot of very similar chips out there with different labels so how did they do it? Matsui has pretty much the exact same chip in their chip build design
 
If a GB goes please do 43mm hybrid chips/set with cash denoms (.25c, $1, $5, etc...), I'd be in for that, just can't do anymore tournament sets. But would love a 43mm cash set.
 
I agree, I’ve always loved BJ V-7’s and the Sun-Fly BW tributes. Totally regret not getting in on that group buy. After purchasing a couple of sample sets of @p5woody ‘s “Woody’s Card Room” 43mm Bud Jones tributes I instantly became a fan of both look and feel of the hybrids. So much so that I, with the help of Woody (and a few other kind folks on the ordering and shipping end) created my own set (featuring both 39mm & 43mm) based on the style and the chips are now on order with Sun-Fly. Will post pics as soon as I get them...hopefully in a few weeks! Until then, I’ll post the mocks created by Woody and sent to Sun-Fly here so folks can take a gander:
