**Presenting The Nakatomi Plaza Tournament Set**
Inspired by Die Hard, arguably the greatest Christmas movies of all time, I've been working on this for most of 2021 - be it designing the artwork & accessories, scouring PCF on the daily for chips, working with vendors or waiting for USPS!.....The final piece of the puzzle arrived this morning, so I got everything together for a photoshoot!
I put together a mixed RHC set last year, and whilst it was a great introduction to real chips I regretted not getting a cohesive / themed set. The opportunity to move up to THC chips presented itself back in January, which then set me off down a new rabbit hole!....and well, here we are. I toyed with a few ideas for my theme based on some of my favourite movies, and this one always stood out in my mind. The building name has a cool ring to it and almost sounds like it could've been a casino.
Originally built as a STT set, I added on a rack of T5 chips with a view of introducing micro-stakes cash games with my regular crew. There's no danger of chips crossing tables as we only ever have one table a night. Whilst thecolours colors may not be traditional, I love the line up obtained for this set and the edge progression is great. As tends to happen on PCF, whilst waiting for the chips/labels to ship to me in the UK I fell further into the rabbit hole and completed the set with some Bounty Chips, Buttons, Cut Cards and Dice.
As ever, a lot of great PCF folks were very helpful along my journey building this set:
@jr8719 - for sending my down the THC rabbit hole, helping with line up ideas, and the sweet sweet bounty chips!
@Gear - for the labels and top customer service
@ReallyGoodUsername - for suffering my endless questions, and helping me secure some great chips!
@TheChipRoom - for bringing such great chips into the community
@BR Pro Poker - friendly service and top products
@LeGold - for not only helping secure the final rack of chips in my set, but also the dice! If you don't have any yet, why not!?
@Eloe2000 - for the excellent cut cards, really appreciate the effort putting the GB's together for us degen's!
Lastly
@Thisfiendis138 - my PCF partner in crime, if the wife ever finds out how much money and time I spend around here the blame will lie solely at his feet. From initially just talking about the idea, he's been a huge help putting this set together: arranging things on the US side, helping secure chips, handling re-shipping, giving chip/design feedback. All while trying to work on his own baller custom set at the same time, and having no time to play.
Anyway, enough talk, onto the pics. Thanks!
