I have a few buddies up here in Canada who have this logo (see attachment) as their hockey team name/logo. SICK Jerseys... do you think this would look great on a poker chip
I have a ton of friends who love The Office but honestly if I made that into a chip, I might run into legal problems.

Most of the girls I love are under 30 and they all talk about the show so much I bought it on iTunes. It does have genuinely funny moments.
Did you request prototypes?Not a problem, boss. I'll be sending the totals to Sunfly Thursday their time and getting a shipping quote. Also I have already sent the artwork and according to Woody, I'm supposed to get some prototypes. This should be neat.

I sent an email right after you told me about the prototypes.

A person who canceled his order has worked something out and wants to re-order, total sold back over 6,000 chips!
Right? Especially if it takes 3000 to get it down to ~.60 a chip.
What is the verdict @SUN-FLY Poker Chips could you tag this into shipping for either this, or the new Prestige GB?

I'm talking to them, if I can get the quantities to Susie in time, they may bundle it.
Just be aware that those designs are not open source. You first need permission from the artwork owner to order them.

Keep in mind, I'm only focusing on this order and whether I can bundle it with the Prestige group buy at this time.
I know nothing about the old school chips.
EDIT: Just looked them up: Not bad.

When I make a cash set for Midnight Casino, I can promise you it will look even more badass than that, though. It's a great design but I am shooting for the stars.

Another sample set has been ordered. As a reminder, the bounty chips will go down to 80¢ each if we order 200 of them, so that may be something to consider.
Are the bountys and rebuys included in the sample?

Yes they are. We just need to find a way to get 15 more sold of those puppies.
I believe Sunfly has a 25-order-quantity price, i.e. you have to order in increments of 25. If that's the case, we're already at 200.
Okay, thanks just wanted to verify. I'm sure there will be some add ons or a few more ordersYes they are. We just need to find a way to get 15 more sold of those puppies.

Anything is possible at this point. I may do a second run later or get a cash set made. Honestly, I would let this go a little longer except I really want to get this bundled with the Prestige GB because I only rent a room in Upland. I don't think I am quite ready to handle 6000+ chips, plus if it gets bundled with the Prestige Chips, everyone's shipping costs will be lower since it is all going out in one big shipment.
Also I am going to recommend giving Woody $125 - $150 for the design he made since he did such a bang up job of it. I will be checking final prices whether to allocate it to the chip orders but if it does, it will amount to a life threatening $.02 to $.025 a chip. Since we're over 5000 chips ordered, it will hardly even be noticeable.
I'll see if it makes a huge difference and if it is that much of a problem, I will pay him that out of my own pocket.

Can I order 2 of the 7 chip sample sets (no bounty or rebuy)?

Ok cool, please put me down for 2.
"High Noon Saloon" Would be a sick theme and could compliment the midnight theme pretty well since the cash set would have its own theme based around noon versus midnight
. Nothing to see here folks, just me getting off topic lol. Keep the orders coming! Maybe we will get more price breaks!

No problem, @warewulf , your order has been updated.
I had a guy ask about if and why I was closing this tomorrow.
First off, I may re-open it for a new group buy later if there is a demand for it or if my position improves, but second, right now I only rent a room where I live. If I get these grouped together with the Prestige buys, it would save me time and a headache. Cost is not an issue, I would happily cover all costs to whomever was handling this. (Money literally destroyed my mother's life in 2014, I'm definitely *not* a money person).
I had no idea if this was even going to sell 3,000 chips, let alone double that. For the longest time, it literally looked like I was going to award a few sample sets and that's it. It wasn't until @sheikh617, the guy who inspired the set, even mentioned about buying a full set that I had planned on selling it to other people (I can't tell you how honored I am to sell him a set, since his Bean Town Poker was the inspiration for Midnight Casino). To have over 6,000 chips sold over an idea that I never thought would leave the concept stage is pretty awesome for me.
Anyways, that's the long and short of it. I have very limited space and I want to save all of you guys any headaches, so I'm trying to bundle these with the Prestige group buy order.

Here's the latest. Since I'm on unemployment, Woody is asking me to pay it forward rather than pay him for the design, so I will be doing the following and seeing if everyone is okay with it: 100% of this money will go to Woody. I do not want money, like I said earlier, money destroyed my mom's life in 2014 when she got a settlement and she went hog wild on the spending until the money ran out six months after she got the money.
Surcharge (optional)
All value chips = 2 cents per chip, to go to Woody
Bounty/Rebuy chips = 3 cents per chip to go to Woody
Dealer Buttons = 10 cents per dealer button to go to Woody
This means with all existing orders, Woody will earn $138.17 for all the chips we have ordered. Again, I am going to suggest this as I said, Woody has told me he would rather I pay it forward than pay him, and believe me, I would be happy to.
I want to see what the final cost will be with shipping before I commit to this. I want to see if this will be feasible. If not, I'll do as he said and pay it forward doing some other good deed for someone in the community. (I recently helped out a woman who had appendix surgery and had to go back to the hospital due to complications and missed work for a month because of it)
