Matt my sample set arrived today and they're even more amazing in person! Very proud of and happy for you on the result!
It's looking like I'm going to have to evict some of my heavy hitters and sentimental favorites to make room for the set in my modest little display case.

Really nice, mate - particularly like the whites...
Proudly introducing the latest iteration of the Nakatomi Plaza collection.

What started as a pipe dream a little over 12 months ago for a small cash set - has predictably escalated into a future proofed cash set and small tournament set. I've had plenty of help along way putting this together, folks on PCF are very generous with their time and input. I'm sure they found it torturous at times but a special thanks to @Thisfiendis138 , @JP1984 and @jr8719 for suffering me along the journey and helping with iterations. I'm over the moon with how everything came out, and they are exactly how I pictured them based on the many hours in the design tool, and attempting to make some realistic mockups via photoshop using colour samples.
The cash set uses Cali colours (what else could it possibly be, given the subject matter and movie location). I tried to incorporate some spot progression with the cash set, but also ensure that some of my favourite spot patterns were used on the workhorse chips (3D14 $1 and 3TA316 $5 in this case).
With this being unquestionably one of the best Christmas movies of all time, I decided to add a Special Edition $1 chip. I based it on the Christmas Party held by the Nakatomi Corp, and opted for a scallop shaped inlay as it reminded me of a snowflake. This inlay uses a custom design including the Nakatomi logo for consistency, but has a festive vibe.
The tournament set was a last minute addition using solids throughout, T100 base. The pastel colours are unconventional but that doesn't bother me at all. I may look to add a 25k barrel in the future too. These chips feature a 2 sided inlay - side A using the Nakatomi Plaza texts, side B using 'Welcome to the Party, Pal!'.
A very very last minute addition was some accessory chips. Similar to my previous set the Bounty chip inlay uses a teddy bear as a little nod back to the movie. The ShowEm chip inlay shows a police badge and John's badge number, while going for an NYPD colour scheme for the chip itself.
Of course a special thanks to @David Spragg for allowing us the opportunity to put these custom creations together. He was excellent to deal with and without question holds the quickest response time of any vendor I've dealt with.
Now onto the good stuff!

Sorry for being late for the party, pal!!!
This set turned our extremley nice and is an absolute stunner. If I had to chose my no. 1 chip of this set it probably would be a heads up between the $1 and the $25. I love the two sided $1 and the colors of the $25 so much!!!
yippee ki yay Mat!!!

Thanks Dieter! I'm still super happy with how they all came out
The $1's are 2 separate chips - one with normal labels, then the festive chip with shaped inlays both sides.
outstanding and pretty cool idea!!!!Rexy93

Limit set and existing set add-ons have departed the CPC factory and are making their way through the UPS system!

That would be a fitting journey for them
They did pass through NY on their way to MD which is a good backup link to the set
Oh I didn’t even think to offer to take a pic of them with the Nakatomi Building!That would be a fitting journey for them

Oh my!! Some cool photos of the chips in front of the Plaza would be incredible!
Not sure how close you are to Century City, or if you had a sample set of CSQ's from me previously (I don't think I have a full set left) - but maybe we can work something out

Less than half an hour away. Or 2 hours away, depending on traffic.Oh my!! Some cool photos of the chips in front of the Plaza would be incredible!

I think I only have a THC single and a CSQ single.

Ah yep, good old LA traffic!
Once the delivery arrives, let me take stock of what I have and can hopefully get you some more Plaza's for the collection

I got routed over here from the, "If you started over today, knowing what you know, what set stands out," thread and it didn't disappoint. Very nice chips, really like the cash set. Do you think you'll have any sample sets or you're out of those? Would be interested in the cash chips to take a look at.

Appreciate it
Welcome to PCF.I don't think I have a full sample set left, but once my latest batch arrives I'll do a quick stock take. Priority goes to @TheOffalo on the off chance he can get awesome chip pictures in-front of the building, but I'll report back

Slowly working through the CPC delivery this week. Will of course be sorting a full photoshoot in the near future. Cleaning and oiling the limit set is going to take a while 
For the moment, here's the current tourney lineup with the new pink T25K's added

The set has a rack of each
it's good as there's almost always a few special edition chips in view at the table. But it's also good as my OCD approves the equal split Create an account or login to comment
