@Leonard @CantSpellPoker and @Ghoti, Im going to bed shortly, Im expecting pron of your sets posted in this thread when I wake up

I'm impatiently waiting for my set and im dying here without more pron lol

My chips appear to have been delivered but I’m working late draining a scrotal abscess. Such is the glamorous life of a urologist.

 

[CantSpellPoker]

These things are straight bananas. Also came home to find my PCF topper at my front door. What are the odds that 2 international group buys that took multiple weeks/months would result in the exact same delivery date? Awesome!

Proud to contribute to my first pr0n thread as a PCF member:

Thoughts:

- I thought the $1’s would be the dullest chip in my lineup, but they pop a lot more than I was expecting.

- Thrilled that @liftapint tossed in the Oz frac as a last minute option. As much as the pink and orange fracs are unreal, I was dead set on a red $5, and the green frac completes my colors nicely, IMO.

- Tons of side paint on the $20, but it doesn’t bother me. I actually think the color combo is cool when viewed from the side. I do think it’s weird that when viewed from the side, you wouldn’t know the base color was yellow. But not a problem for me.

- The black hundo is unreal. Might be my favorite chip. Unfortunately it’s unlikely that it will ever be used as a cash chip in my game. I’d build a tourney set around it in a heartbeat though.

Nice line up! If I went the orange 5 route I would have done the rest of the denoms the same way you did.

LOL, I'm just disappointed I missed my pick up by 15 minutes. Oh well, I'll have them at 8:30 tomorrow morning. In the meantime I'm enjoying a few Bourbons while I wait for my wife to get home

 

[asam2006]

So these two boxes arrive at the same time as this table topper

 

[12thMan]

Wow, great chips and awesome pictures all.

Those blue and oranges, holy shit, I mean I'm a bronco fan and all so I'm biased but WOW I love those two chips. Blue dollars and those orange fracs, incredible.

Congrats all.

 

[Leonard]

Expertly packed. No damage to chips or cases. They look great, especially the $5 which is stunning. Mildly concerned about the green (yellow) chip. Since I don’t have a yellow chip in the lineup, it’s no big deal in the end. I may add a pink frac, although I have no use for one. Hopefully, I can find some labels to make purple $500s.

PS anybody have a few extra purple $26s?

 

[asam2006]

@Leonard . Those $5 chips are the best! Sorry I didn't get them but if there's a rebuy I'm definitely ordering those chips! Congrats.

 

[Highli99]

Thanks Mel and everyone who contributed these turned out great!

These feel ”softer” to me than the WPS horshoes. I like them!

 

[Bradcorn]

Orange $5s for the win! Sort of mad I only got three racks (although plenty and let’s me get the purples into play more often).

Don’t love the $100 in stacks but the face is so good. Initially I was thinking I would trade them or re-order but they won’t really get in play so the stack thing won’t be an issue. Maybe a couple will float around the table.

These feel and shuffle a lot better than I was expecting. I was nervous about the plastic part of them but I love the feel right now. Thrilled.

 

[Highli99]

They stack like legos.

 

[Perthmike]

@daniel song

You know we need set photos lol

 

[Perthmike]

@asam2006 seeing as you have both pink and orange fracs, what's your favourite?

I went orange at the last minute, but they both look crazy bright.

 

[asam2006]

@Perthmike, man that's a tough decision. The pink 25cent is a keeper but it's the orange by a nose with the yellow $5.
I now find myself coveting the Orange $5 with this line up below. So if I have a chance to rebuy I'd get those bad ass chips with another rack of pink 25c.

 

[detroitdad]

I'll be at the post office in 2 hours picking up my chips.

 

[Mr Winberg]

I didn't participate in the GB, but viewing the pics I really think the half-moon chips (white/red $100 and green/yellow $25) are cool and unique. Unless the edge spot color clashes with another chip, I think it's a really cool 2-color feature, and not something to be bothered about. If I were to buy these, I would definitely choose one of the half-moons for this reason alone!

Also, isn't the purple/green T100 in the horseshoe set the same mold? It also has a different color on the face compared to when stacked, albeit a little less since the stripe is the same as the base color.

 

[BGinGA]

Definitely some dirty stack potential with the yellow $25s

The whole of PCF was looking at the mockups and no one spotted it.

Tough to know this would be a problem

I had compiled a list of chips that shouldn't be paired together in the same set. Yellow $1s and green $25s were at the top of the list.

 

[Perthmike]

I think you might be 2 minutes late with the pron

 

[detroitdad]

I haven't left yet. The PO is only two minutes away. I'm chatting with my oldest. I'll be heading out in a minute.

 

[detroitdad]

headed home

 

[detroitdad]

This'll hold until I get them out of their plastic wrapping and cases. Mel, you did a fantastic job at packing

 

[detroitdad]

 

[Perthmike]

Damn they look so sick. You might be winning with the pron, that's the best pics I've seen of them yet. You have me real excited now. Whoever designed these did a great job

Can't wait to get mine.

My thoughts

Inlay:

I really like it a lot. We wanted something unique, but simple/classy all at the same time. Personally, I wanted the colors of the chips to be the highlight. I think we accomplished this. Great job Mike and Mel. Lets be real, most of the design came from these two.

Colors:

Love them, love them, love them!!!! The orange frac is actually my least favorite. I thought the green frac was going to kind of suck. I was completely wrong. It doesn't pop like the pink chip, but its close.

I love my lineup of pink, blue, yellow, purple, and white. I'm really excited about my starting stacks.

Matsui's chip review:

For some reason they feel a little more slick than what I remembered. I don't think it is something that will be a deal breaker for me. I'll be getting them into play on THUR when @ruskba is visiting. I also don't love the sound of them. Again, not a deal breaker. It could be that I'm so used to clay chips that it will just take some adjustment for me.

The sharp edges of the chips are fantastic. Outside of the bright color choices, this was one of the main reasons for getting these chips. They do not disappoint. I have heard people complain about shuffling them. I don't have a problem with.

I might have bought more than I needed. Especially since I'm moving forward with my ABC project. Expect to see some of these for sale in the future. Mel/Mike will get first dibs. They will be sold at my cost, plus re shipping. Don't PM me about it. It could happen anytime between now and whenever I finish with the ABNC project.

 

[toynoob]

Noobs!

You called?

 

[Toby]

Looks like these came out great! Really should've got a sample set to check them out!

Congrats to all the lucky owners!

Hard to pick a favorite chip, but I love the green frac, orange fiver and purple $25. Very nice! (y)

Was definitely a team design effort Mr yellow chip
