Sorry, but I have to respectfully disagree. I've re-read a few times now, and I can't see where someone finds your request out of line. You've got some responses on what to expect regarding PCF group buys, that's all.

Oh I agree. There's no complaint about Apache or the group buy. It was literally just "hey, after you catch up from end of month and weekend stuff, pop in for a quick 2 sentence update".

 

[ReallyGoodUsername]

Is it out of line to respectfully ask (without a hint of annoyance) for a quick 2 sentence update after 35 days? By the replies it definitely seems so. Excited to get these chips whether it be July 27th or Sept 3rd. Carry on everyone

Your request isn't out of line at all. People's responses are just giving you the 4-1-1 on how these traditionally go. If you're curious about timing I'd shoot Apache an email. Usually replies in 24-48.

Definitely should have just went that route from the start. 100% agree that the info was all perfect for someone that would be looking for a breakdown on group buys. As always, everyone is very helpful.

Yeah, my chips are out for delivery now...by way of Houston--->Guam--->Hawaii--->Seattle. My 2-3 day priority mail shipment is now on day 9. Still, not bad considering all of the places it has been.

 

[BarrieJ3]

I know I saw it in here at some point, and I have no idea why I bought the breakdown that I did.

What would be a good tourney breakdown for these chips as labeled?

 

[ReallyGoodUsername]

120/120/50/75/35 for a T25-T5,000 is the BGINGA 600 chip breakdown recommendation

Just a few questions:
Which denom shall be the lowest?
How many chips?
How many buy-ins shall they support?

Yeah sorry I should know to include these by now. I have built out sets before and know to use the search function. I'm all good for rebuys and all that jazz, just trying to determine numbers here for the initial stacks. Looking to just do higher denoms from 100 or 500 and up.

Out of line? No, that seems a harsh characterization.

But I can assure you that if Apache had any news or updates to share (good or bad), he would do ao immediately.

So, as @Poker Zombie noted, 'no news is good news'.... and since nothing has changed since the last one, I see no need for an essentially useless update -- since there really isn't anything to say.

The chips are finishing up this week. Once they are loaded on the cargo ship I will have a better idea of when they will get here.

Great Job! Thanks @Apache !!

 

[mummel]

Woohoo!

So are you crossing your fingers, hoping you won't have to pay tariffs?

 

[Lancew09]

This a great update!

If we guess that the chips will get finished this week, and next week they hit the cargo ship, then it’s 2-4 weeks from China to California - 1 week till Vegas & then Josh has to fill all the orders and ship them out to the shipping method we all selected. I would guess we won’t likely see our chips until middle to late Aug.

Yeah baby

 

[asam2006]

The Blue 25 cent chips and the Silver $1 chips turned out great. Better than expected. Looks to be an awesome cash set.

 

[saskbull]

i’m going to place an order for blanks, but i can’t decide what to use for a 500. i’m going to go with the aria tribute: yellow 1000, white 5000, red 25000. i do not like the blurple rainbow chip for this progression... pink? 39mm majestic purple?

 

[Geremie]

126,000 chips

Pink or orange might look good.

 

[JoeBGo]

126,000 chips

I think it’s 63,000? 500 per box x 126?

Moar chipes
View attachment 306785

I may be wrong, but those are listed as no label chips. Are there different boxes for the labelled chips? Could there be....MOAR?!?!

 

[Geremie]

126 boxes of no label and 126 boxes of with label...252,000 chippppppppppppes!

 

[asam2006]

10,500 grams divided by 1000 chips = 10.5 gram/chip

Looking forward to see pics of these arrive! Seems like a lot of the china clays made to date slide like butter. I haven’t been able to stack anything well, personally. Hope these ones work out for the group.

I thought the Spirit mold stacked really well and my 8V's were fine in my opinion.

 

[SeanGecko]

I really wasn't going to buy more chips but damn these look good. Decisions decisions.

I had the sample stack for a few days. They're a bit more slippery than the 8V's, but less slippery than my older Majestics. Much more slippery than the spirit molds.

I'd say they're somewhere between Bud Jones and Gemaco/Matsui slippery.
