Thoughts from the owner:
Chipdust was one of those sets that just came together slowly thru a 8-month period. It all started with some offhanded joke that my next set "Should be named the Chipdust since it'll be paid for my milling...". Of course, we all had a laugh, but in the end, I started planning. First, I reached out to John and he was excited to build me out a replica denom and logo, but with the new casino name. It started as a cash set, slowly morphed into an "Ultimate cash" set that really is a cash and tourney set combined. This is reflected by the shaped inlays in the lower half and round in the upper. But it also gives flexibility if your table hates 20s and you want to use 25s. To give it maximum flexibility, we played with having a cash 100 in grey, and a tourney 100 in black with the same edge spots, which now is one of my favorite features of the set.
I wanted to play with the entire color chart here and lean into them instead of my minimalist approach with Cactus Petes or my controlled chaos of the Scarlets Room Set. I also wanted to really see what LCrown could do in a large set with a vast use of color. Overall, Its one of my favorites. Tons of color. Tons of spots. But it works together in its own unique way as each set, and together as a whole.
I actually love the logo so much that we made a Die set of every denom to do hot stamps that match the inlays perfectly.
Thoughts from the committee:
This is the way an homage set should be done. The color choices give a strong nod to the vintage styling of the old Stardust chips while still maintaining originality and not copying any of the old chips directly. And while the inlay is a play on one of the greatest classic inlays of all time, it still remains personal and the name ties in perfectly with Kifer's business.

Quotes from the community:
"Brother, these are thing of beauty! I absolutely love the set - the large crown is great, not to mention the sweet inlay design. A++, to be sure!" - @satisfyingbutton
"One hell of a set! These look fantastic and I 100% approve of the shaped inlays here for the maximum old-school tribute effect." - @AlbinoDragon
"You picked the best mold for your theme and the color selections are right on. It couldn’t have been easy to put it all together but it was certainly time well spent." - @PAZ
