@SeanGecko , will payment be broken into 2/3 parts? I assume cost, plus shipping from elsewhere? Then shipping from you? I can pay whenever you are ready? Assuming I’ll have 2-3 large boxes, or 3-4 medium.

Do you need any help with anything too?

Payment will be two parts. First payment for chips and shipping to the US from China then payment to me for shipping from me to you. The second payment will be figured out since some folks are picking it up from me.

Can't think of anything to get help with. I do appreciate it.

GROUP BUY IS CLOSED​

Still waiting on art from 7. We will be over 60,000. Group buy is closed. Sorry people. If you have my email that means you can still get in on the order.

If you didn't get in, sorry. This started on June 20.

* @ReallyGoodUsername just put us over 60,000.

Seriously contemplating on getting this broken up into two shipments. As long as we keep the price point of course. Just the logistics of this is huge.
SLOW AND STEADY!!!!

Can't tell you how much this is appreciated!!!! What a shit ton of work you're doing for us all. Say the word if you need anything at all? Feels like there's a fair amount of shipping supply expenses involved. I'd be very much willing to Amazon prime you a bunch of packing materials etc.... or malted beverages, or whatever makes it the processes any easier for ya. Say the word as to what you need. (Wish I lived closer where I could actually help move boxes or whatever needs to be done).

Thanks again!!!!

I know I will be needing to buy some tape. I have plenty of boxes and old paper/plastic bags for shipping.

Who wants to send me TAPE!!!???!! lolz


EDIT - don't send tape yet I am still moving.

 

[JeepologyOffroad]

I’ll pitch in on tape via amazon lol shoot me your address

I'd say just buy the necessary repacking materials (foam, tape, bubble packing, etc) and just add that to the reshipping cost for all orders that have to be reshipped.

Or that works too. 60k+ is a shit load of chips

Is it a Metric shit load or A Fuck Ton?

 

[SeanGecko]

Also you can add more to your order still.

 

[SeanGecko]

We are able to split the order if needed. Staying at the price point as well.

Just keeping everyone up to date.

 

[chutracheese]

I'm totally cool with that. I appreciate how much work this GB is, so anything that makes it easier for you is totally cool.

Would it make sense to split the Canadian orders and have them shipped direct to a Canadian to handle reshipping?

I've handled GBs in the past (at CT) so I'd be willing to volunteer if splitting it that way makes any sense.

I don't know. I'd have to check to see how many are in Canada.
Thanks for that. Something to think about at the minimum.

So how would splitting shipping work? Once the first half are finished production, they stick em on a ship, then finish up the second half? Having two shipments doesn't increase the total shipping costs?

The plan was to keep it at the same price point including the shipping. The increase of chips increases the shipping cost. 35,000 is still a lot of chips to get sent in one go.

Nothing set until all the orders are in.
Then we are going to check off the chip orders.

SOUND GOOD?

I tried to do this set based on the SunFly standard palette :

I know normally they are on RHC mold and not THC so I don't know if the cards mold would be the best for these ones. The "pattern" mold SunFly is providing would be better. Any, there is a version with 7/8" inlay to fit with the cards mold.

Ok, screw the Aces Tourney set I mocked up. I might go with this for my tourney set if I end up getting one!!

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

I'll also add the primary set soon.
Just assembling everything.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

The primaries approximated on the Cards mold with SunFly colors palette.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

I'm also doing a dealer and 43mm bounty. I'll post later.

 

[Kid_Eastwood]

So here're the mockup with some added high-denom, a dealer button and a bounty (plain 43mm).

Still to check :
- if there is a way to fix the dirty stack issue for the T100 and T500 (the real chips have that issue)
- use a real yellow instead of a arc yellow for the T1000 sec
It'll be for tomorrow.

Thanks for all of your hard work!

Some great new art coming out.

I think your primary set chosen colors will be fine (unlike the originals and many other tributes).

The 818-spotted set should have base color matching 'inlays' for best effect.

I've selected on purpose a different inlay color, but indeed, I could let the base color as inlay background.

The only thing is that the inlay border won't be visible. Don't you think it'd be an issue ?

And for the primary set indeed, after checking, there shall not be dirty stack issue.

For the secondary set, would you pick a more yellow than arc yellow T1000 ?

Thanks for your feedback !

Also, I'll revisit the gradient on "Vegas". It's too dark on the right side.

Maybe also remove the suites to make the test of the logo bigger ? This could be a good Idea to improve the chances of a good quality printing... Or make it 15/16" inlay instead of 7/8" ? It'd render like a Casablanca or Horseshoe Club Gardena THC then. I think it'd be a good Idea for such a busy inlay to have a bigger one (15/16" instead of 7/8") ... Also, doing this would render better on the sec. I think as the inlay color exactly matches the base color. The rim would mark the limit between "inlay" and base chip.

I'll test all these tomorrow.
