My line up so far using the rainbow chip as a 20$ chips but keeping the traditional set up mainly because I'm lazy and don't want to relabel the whole set.

I went crazy on the 8v and now I’m super tempted to get a tourney set from Apache.

Not today palpatine!
Got to get the poker table and floors done first. Hoping to get my game going at my place by August.
I’ll send out an invite too if people are in the Omaha area.

I'm open to offering a CPS version of these chips either individually or direct from China as part of a group buy if Apache is open to it.
why 43mm not 39mm, and will you offer chip cases?

Any idea of when we will actually get these now that they're going into production?
Believe June with price hikes happening in the next couple of weeks

Yeah I guess I’m hoping for a when in June we’ll get them.
Apache said that production should happen end of June, guess there would be a little lag time for shipping and turnaround time............ so early Julyish????
I've seen these two blues together in a few of the options. Are you worried about dirty stacks between the 0.25 and the $1? Or are the blues different enough?

Prices are going up to $.49 per chip on Friday. Production should be complete by the end of June. Hoping to ship mid July. Because of the popularity I had to increase the order by 50% so it might add a couple weeks to production.

Hey guys,
Super new to chip shopping but these seems like a great deal. I was originally looking at milanos but these seem nicer for a bit more. Anyone able to offer any insight for someone still learning?

99.9% of the time you should follow the 1st rule of chip shopping ........ GET SAMPLES!
This may be the .1% to not do that. This seems like a great mid-entry level chip set that a lot of us that own a large variety of other styles and types of chips are going after. Possibly if it doesn't hurt your wallet you could wait and get samples end of July and compare to other options. You will have to make your own decision on that.
In my personal situation this fits my desire of a "high rollers" tourney set. I enjoy 43mm chips and am ok with China clays.
Good luck
I can't take it anymore. Less than a week on this forum and I'm already caving and buying this set before the price goes up.
For those who are buying blanks, how does putting your own inlays on work? Are they precut and you just peel and stick? How well does it come out?
Are we sure that we'll be able to get the stickers from Apache? I know it's sold out right now, so do we just wait until the chips ship and see when they come back in stock?

I've used @Gear labels (a vendor on the site) for multiple projects, including a number of China clay ordeals. I will be using him again with these 43mm chips.
Gear can give you full details. He is very easy to work with, but he does get backlogged occasionally. Basically speaking, you give him the design and he prints the order on sheets that are precut, so all you have to do is peel and stick. It doesn't take long, but it does take time. I like to sit and watch tv or something while I'm doing applying labels, or just breaking up the project - a few labels today, a few tomorrow - to avoid the monotony.
I believe @Apache is working with @ABC Gifts and Awards to stock the inlays. They're peel and stick. I would send Apache an email (see website for contact info) to get a clarified answered but I'm 99% sure that just because it's sold out on the site it doesn't mean it's actually sold out in this particular instance (Apache in stock numbers are generally correct but given this is a new product I think there's a bit of leeway).

OK, I think I'll send them an email. I'm also not sure how many labels you get per sheet. At $0.07, does that cover 1 chip, 10 chips, 25 chips? But it seems like people don't seem to have an issue sticking on their own labels.
7¢ is for one sticker, or half a chip. And applying stickers is easy, once you get the hang of it. I do it while watching a game or show on TV.
It's $0.07 per label or $0.14/chip (2 sides = 2 labels).
My understanding is Apache layed out the following (see him for final clarification):
- "used to" get sheets from china with all denoms which then needed to be cut and sorted by Apache
- "old way" allows for specific denomination orders but was also very time consuming and I'm assuming would lead to a higher risk of possible shortages
- per the label order page @ABC Gifts and Awards will sell the other non-stock denominations. based on his other labels I believe you'd be able to order a specific quantity (as opposed to X number of sheets).
Not sure if how Apache is still receiving the labels has changed which could obviously alter availability.

Oh wow! That adds quite a bit to the cost of each chip! It seems like most people are ordering blanks and labels for the Royals based on reading this discussion. I guess getting the colors your want trumps price 
I'm sticking with the original chips for the most part and anticipate having to label 2-3 racks of blanks. The blue rainbow and pink chips threw everything off and I had to include them in my set.
I'm relabeling the rainbow chip as $20 and the pinks as 25cents. If they weren't so nice I would have left them out altogether.

Exactly!!! You can't leave those out of a set. So I think I'm going to do the same thing; get a bunch of original labelled chips, and supplement with some racks of blanks which include the blue rainbow and pink.

Man, those two would pair up beautifully in a limit set! Either of them could be the work horse or the value chip, wouldn't matter!The blue rainbow and pink chips threw everything off and I had to include them in my set.
