Idea but may take some work (1 Viewer)

[BarrieJ3]

I've had Sunfly Polyinno 43's on the BH005 mold as a chip idea from the get-go. CPC's are a viable idea and I like them, but the queue is currently about 6 months. THC's are also a great idea, but again, same thing. Finding the right color chips may be a chore and might take me 2 years or longer to find the right colors at the right price.

The biggest pros and cons are as follows:

Sunfly 43's:
+: Easy to order, customizable as hell
+: Lowest priced option (some have quoted as low as .72 a chip for 500)

-: shipping and import costs
-: Not sure I can get the vibrant colors I want to make this set pop.

THC's:
+: Well known, extremely durable.
+: Paulsons, duh.

-: Hard as shit to locate
-: Price could be in excess of $1000 just for the chips

CPC's:
+: Easy to locate
+: Seems durable for a clay chips

-: Queue is about 6 months, maybe longer for my design
-: Certain chips are "in season" unless I want the A-mold and small crown was recommended to me.

The biggest pros and cons are as follows:

Sunfly 43's:
+: Easy to order, customizable as hell
+: Lowest priced option (800 chips are only $1.01 a piece, 1200 are $.98 each and can cut 13 cents off if I go unaligned or the edgespots do not run over the corners.)

-: shipping and import costs (about 20c a chip, not terrible but noteworthy)
-: Not sure I can get the vibrant colors I want to make this set pop. (this set really needs a bright orange hue)

THC's:
+: Well known, extremely durable.
+: Paulsons, duh.

-: Hard as shit to locate
-: Price could be in excess of $1000 just for the chips

CPC's:
+: Easy to locate
+: Seems durable for a clay chips

-: Queue is about 6 months, maybe longer for my design
-: Certain chips are "in season" unless I want the A-mold and small crown was recommended to me.

I'm probably going to do Sunfly 43's at least until I get some help with the CPC ideas. This allows me to play a long game in getting THC solids for a good price, rather than being ripped off for $1000 for a set of blazes. If I'm going to spend $2000 on a set of clay chips, I'll go CPC, then at least I'll know the milling will be done.

The only thing I really dislike is the Sunfly's have no fire orange.

Don't do this! They're so much better when aligned!

But yes tons of considerations with Paulson vs cpc and others, all up to you!

One's an updated version of the other one, @BarrieJ3. Why don't you do something productive and design a set for yourself?

Oh and this is the last time I am going to put up with you crapping on my thread.

I really want to see what the design is going to look like for the chip before I commit. I honestly would like aligned, as I can still get 800 for what would cost me 600 THC solids.

Quoting for posterity. Not sure how that’s threadcrapping. Please don’t threaten me.

Have a good day Steve!

April 2 versus April 21. In the meantime, I got a price list and samples of both CPC and Sunfly's, so I know what to expect. That's why I updated it.

Also, it's threadcrapping because you aren't adding anything to the discussion.

Thanks for Stevesplaining the site you just joined to me. That wouldn’t be threadcrapping, however it is against site TOS (yes I know all, charge my phone).

Anywho, best of luck to ya and have a great day Steve! In case you decide to go the THC route, there will be some new solids up in the classifieds today or tomorrow.

@p5woody went WAY above and beyond the call of duty on these mockups, they're gorgeous. Once the bounty chip is finished, this will go to Sunfly for PRINTING.

Make sure to take sample order thread if you’re doing that. I’ll take 1.

Looks great! I would be in for a sample set as well if possible

I still have to get a bounty chip from the guy, but once that's taken care of, I will go ahead and take sample set orders.

Three sample sets already (Woody always asks for a sample set of his work)

My bounty chip idea will say midnight casino and there will be a comet on the front and the word bounty on it. The back will simply read "Your night is over".

Other proposals:
put 12:00 and the value along the side

No idea what you have in mind for the bounty chip, but my vote is for a lunar eclipse.

It's either going to be that or a comet on the front, I admit the red moon would be cool af.

The back will simply read "Your night is over" because the person is eliminated from the tournament.

Just wondering, and it is in no way a shot at your chip design, would some bright solids/designs with simple edgespots bring out your design better? Just seems to me that the flourishes takes away some of the attention from the “inlay”

Don't use 12:00. For most of us in the world, that means 12 noon.
Better to use 00:00. Or maybe the text "Zero Dark"?

The original idea was to use solids, right now Woody is starting a line called Prestige:

https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/future-sun-fly-gb-design-idea-interest-feedback.55491/

He used that design to save some money in the long haul, by having me order blank Prestige chips and putting the label on them.

 

[SteveHNo96]

I just threw some quick 312's to see if the inlay would stand out better using a much simpler design.

 

[SteveHNo96]

A simplified chip design and some added detail on the stars (and 00:00 added)

Wow it looks fantastic on this chips. If you go SunFly this is definitely the route you want to go. I like the idea of the 00:00 but I don't like the placement up at the top. Would look much better if it was tied into the casino somehow

I was going to have the 00:00 on the side of the chip. I get what you're saying about it tied to the casino, however, I will add that I don't know if there's a way it could happen.

Just out of curiosity, does the casino really need to be "located?" If you are going to go with Upland, why not have the building be mission style, a bit more sense of place I would think. I'm in Pomona. BTW.

The location is for me, I lived in Rancho Cucamonga, CA for 23 years and moved out to the pedophile district of Vegas for 2 years (yes, really, Boulder Highway was number 1 in the number 1 city for pedophiles per capita) and was honestly downright miserable there. When my mom died in 2018, I tried to get a place to live back in the Inland Empire and ended up in Upland. So the location is to remind me, in the words of the Riot song "Johnny's Back":

What's the use of moving on?
Maybe here's where I belong
I've had my fill of life's uncertainties...

So yeah, the location is for me =)
