Ask for samples of the specific molds.

I have. They said that maybe they would have samples of one mold or another (but couldn't say which molds, it would be "whatever samples we have"), but not until August or September.

REALLY? I want to do a set so badly, and have spent more time on their chip design tool than I care to admit. But it really has been frustrating working with them.
 
Weird way to do business but I guess requests about the sharpness aren’t something a casino usually cares about?

These have a chamfer and are 40mm

I've been in contact with Matsui again. I'm going to try to be more patient while we get an answer from the factory. It's tough..I'm just so excited to get this set going!!

These are the spots I posted, but I progressed from 3-8 depending on denoms. I think that if they make them 39 vs 40, they will be square edged. That's what they were saying I think. 40 beveled or 39 sharp.
 
Yea I noticed that with more pictures just thought I would compare to confirm it.

I do prefer varied edge spots to all the same though lol

That's fine. It's just a starting point. The issue is the desire by many for sharp edges. I surfed all the Matsui posts here. They all come down to 39mm sharp. 40mm beveled. Regardless of graphics.

I dont know how to copy posts from other chats, but see the post "Does anyone actually play with Matsui". You.ll see Yoni ordered a 39mm set and voila. Square. Etc... go satisfy yourselves.

@yone 's chips look like they have a slight bevel - he'd be the best to confirm - but the photo seems to show a bevel. There is nothing but a sharp edge on the Horseshoe group buy chips:

@yone can confirm, but my understanding was that he THOUGHT he was getting square edges, but they came beveled. Please correct me if I have that wrong!

But THIS is what I am afraid of....having a bunch of people sign up for a group buy, and not being delivered what was ordered.

Yup slight bevel. I asked Roxana for clarification on the square edges. She said she just requested for information again from the factory.

Me personally, that much bevel wouldn’t bother me much (still prefer square). But it would just make me nervous taking other people’s money for a group buy, with this uncertainty.

That poor Roxana, I hound her every day, asking if she has heard from the factory yet. :)

Yes, I was under the impression that I was receiving square edges even though I never directly addressed it. It was because I was told 39mm came with square edges. She made good on my chips and I have no complaints.
For this situation she is aware of the importance of the edges and is waiting for a complete explanation from the factory.

The other issue is accidentally mixing square and sharp in the same set. It would have to be all square or all beveled.
 
I would start on a theme and decal design... If you build it, they will come
I thought we would flush out the colors and spot progression styles. Then talk theme.

But I'm open to anything classy and different. No more tribute chips and no space, mafia,or astrology stuff.

Something along the lines of a private club for elite card players, with some "speakeasy" or underground tone to it maybe.

Something with "Club", "Room", Lounge, Vault, Cellar, or Loft in the name.
 
Feel free to use this if anyone likes it. @MoscowRadio made them and I am sure could be hired to finish it off. “Quinta Strada” means 5th street in Italian and “Sala da Gioco” translates to “cardroom/gambling hall”
The horsehead could easily be replaced with anything else as well.

I was messing around with the tool the other day. Some mockups that I did. Nothing special.
Matsui doesn't have a $20 inner ring but with a big enough order or a large group of personal orders (all shipping to one location), I think they would make one on their dime.

Yea I need a 20 for sure.

If it’s based of a club I think Europe would be a good fake location, plastic chips feel more European or Asian to me
 
Is there anyway to have the $5 and the $20 oversized I would love that?
 
After being skunked in the JACKs sale, my interest is renewed here.
Wouldn’t mind seeing an original inlay or theme. Standard, Cali or original colors.
Can’t wait to get my tournament chips from the other group buy to check them out.
 
I should have an answer very shortly (possibly today), about which molds can be square edged.
@Tommy, if you are going to run one, and it's going to be square edged, then I'm stepping aside. Can't wait to see what's in that ideas folder.
