Yea these chips are taboo. Won't be made again, ever.
Honestly, I prefer them over the real thing, but YMMV
The colors are not as vibrant, but they are lot less slippery and also lighter. I think they are a very nice custom option for those that don’t want to go CPC. The hybrids like the old school set are my favorites.

Yes, they are.

I have a sample set of these. I think they are pretty nice. I do see that the color is a less vibrant then some other plastics, but still seems good.

I personally can't stand sunfly chips. I don't like the feel, sound, or the looks of them. I've owned both the 39 and the 43 mm chips. They are all garbage imo.

So we have our first 1 star review…….. hahaha.

You asked. I figured that you wanted honest answers. I was just trying to be clear on how I felt about them

I certainly appreciate the honest review. That’s a great part of this forum. Honest, no BS information.You asked. I figured that you wanted honest answers. I was just trying to be clear on how I felt about them
I’ve handled the 39s and owned the 43s. The 39s just felt too plasticy to me. But if you like plastic chips, maybe that’s not a bad thing. The 43s (at least the ones with the smaller inlays) are pretty cool chips. I liked them a lot.

43mm with small inlay are the best ones also in my opinion.

Agreed. I would still have my tournament set of these if I had gone all 43mm.
The 43mm SunFly mold used for these is highly recommended in my book.

I will agree with this. Out of the sunfly options, this is the way to go. I still think they are garbage, but not dumpster fire bad.

I seem to be in a minority in that I think the 39mm are a good chip. They feel like plastic without the annoying suction, so if you like plastic, these are an amazing custom alternative that can mimic it.
The colors direct from Sun-Fly are great - it will depend largely on the provided artwork. They will also do multiple prototypes to hone in on color corrections prior to doing the full run. Deep blacks as a base color tends to be an issue, but otherwise everything else is great.

What are the chances that Tina & Co. can do glossy label with a glitter ring.... ?You know, Tina is now doing hybrids...

If there is enough demand for it, I'd bet there are chances.

I have a large set both 39 and 43 chips.
I think they are both great and I like them better than BJ or Matsui.
I never had Abbiati and I am guessing from review maybe those would be better but the cost diff is crazy.
The only negative about my chips is that the cash set red transferred to the white chips and I cannot seem to get it off.
Here is an old post about it.

I also have some custom BW denoms I can share over PM.

I have a customized set of Sunfly 43mm, from the Prestige group buy. I don’t like them at all. At all. One star from me too. The colors are just ok, but my biggest gripe is that the labels are not well applied. Huge disappointment.
You could probably make better design choices and get a decent product from them (like the Boardwalks). But I regret my one buying experience.
Edit: I just pulled them out of the closet to see if I was being too harsh. Nope. Still don’t like them. Whatever you do, don’t get shiny stickers. Mat finish, textured if available, would make a world of difference. And custom colors would also elevate things.

Says the guy whose self-proclaimed favorite set is the least attractive set of chips I've ever laid eyes on. Go figure...

The difference is he asked for our opinion, I did not. Thank you anyways, I appreciate it
I always thought the glossy edges were their biggest downside. Hmm.
