Reshipping (ordering closed) Matsui 43mm WSOP Tribute -- GB Order Thread (T5,T25k added!) (2 Viewers)

Well first, the delivery truck couldn’t get up my driveway, so they left the pallet at the bottom of the hill in the cul-de-sac.

So…I had to load everything into the side-by-side, for the trip up the hill. Got it all in 2 trips. Then had to carry 770 pounds of chips into the house.

Came back to this post and it made me chuckle. Knowing your hill, this couldn't have been easy, even in the side by side. But I know that you wouldn't change it for the world. #CabinLifeProblems

Cheers to your hard work, and to drinking a beer on the deck with that beautiful view!

[liftapint]

Seriously, what do they do to those boxes enroute? They are beat to bloody hell!
Praying for the fragile racks inside.....

 

[pokrgeek21]

I always think of ace Ventura opening scene when I think of the post office lol.

Does that say, "Trick or Treat, Bitches"? If so, that's awesome.

I'm sure it says, "witches" but I want it to say "bitches"

 

[pokrgeek21]

Holy beautiful amazing chips Batman!!! I am so glad I did this!!

 

[pokrgeek21]

Beautiful starting stacks!!

Just need to finish the other set now lol!

 

[BlueChipSpecial]

Just saw that mine were delivered a day earlier than expected!! Now I need the workday to wrap up ASAP so I can go home and unpack these. Going to be a long couple of hours...

If I could have found one bet your ass I would have bought it lol.

First off, @liftapint - fantastic packing, Mel! Thank you so much for packing these so perfectly. Not a scratch on anything. Second - holy cow - these are AWESOME! They are even better in person than they are in photos.

Thank you so much for running this GB and making this fantastic design available, Mel!

And now I bring you: the pr0n:

Everything is still in the Matsui racks. More pics later once I get them out:

Don't forget to post your pR0n in the showcase thread!

Thanks Mel, they came out great!! The design is great, the colors pop and the feel is out of this world! I think there are 2 types of chippers following this thread; those that bought in and those that wish they did. They have to be seen and felt to be appreciated and I very much appreciate them. Great job to all involved!

I know the purple chip is marked with 25000, but can we see it replacing the light blue 500 chip in a lineup? I always thought it was odd that the 500 used light blue that is already on the black 100 chip. Not a complaint - the chips look great!

Mine just arrived and they turned out amazing! Definitely my favorite tournament set that I have ever owned! If anyone ordered some extra 5ks, 500s or 5s let me know I didn’t order enough.

I ordered a barrel of 5s just to see them in person, lol!. If you want/need them, let me know.

I was too cheap even for that. I got 2 T5s and 2 T25s just for placement on the top of splash pot pictures.

 

[Josh Kifer]

Yup. Should got these. I'm dumb.

[liftapint]

I’m ready for round two!

I have to design the cash set first!!! Next spring, we'll do this again if there is enough interest.

In!

Bricks!

Very grippy, not slippery at all.

This is what will make or break these chips for me.

Received these yesterday (on my birthday no less!) and am thrilled to report these things have great grip, are not slippery at all, and stack like bricks! The gold writing on the inlay turned out better than expected - nice and vibrant. Super pumped! Will be keeping these! Thanks for running it and all the excellent packing @liftapint !

 

[BearMetal]

Thanks for running it and all the excellent packing

Agreed. This is me opening @liftapint's packaging...

 

[chrismurda]

A few thoughts after opening my single table tourney order + shuffle stack of T5:

- professional packaging by Mel
- chip quality and design exceeded expectations
- stack like bricks and the 43mm feels so natural
- t5 is my favorite
- I should have ordered a 2 table set that included a t5 breakdown
- pictures don’t do the chips justice

 

[BearMetal]

- pictures don’t do the chips justice

I agree (b/c I love this set) but also disagree b/c they do photograph so well:

My sample set (courtesy of @Machine) arrived and I have to agree, these are some outstanding chips. Excellent work on the design, Mel, not to mention the logistics. Kudos. Take a bow.

 

[pokrgeek21]

Just got my racks in they look great! I should be good for awhile lol. Thanks Mel!

 

[Ghoti]

Yup. Should got these. I'm dumb.

Aye, same mistake here. Well done guys! They came out great.

 

[BillyBluff]

They're here and WOW! Great job @liftapint and thanks for the international reshipping. If there's ever another run, I might be in for some more to make a two-table set. Hopefully, they'll have their first outing this weekend...
