Inner ring sets are essentially out of range for individual buyers because of the fixed costs. Seems like a missed opportunity to not spread those costs in a group buy and get all the bells and whistles that would be too cost-prohibitive otherwise.

That looks like a mix of 43mm Bud Jones V8s and 39mm Bud Jones S2s, I don't know of any American casinos that use Abbiati chips, only European ones (and those are few and far between too).
Interested in a nice designed Abbiati set 
However, I don't understand why there is so much passion for colorful patchwork designs
Aesthetics also simply come from the poker chips stacked all together, with the possibility to easily count them from a distance.
I am more in favor of a pure design, a clearly dominant primary color with a secondary color in edge spot (or two colors but discrete then), the respect of the main color conventions (25 = green, 100 = dark ...), with possibly a progressive denom (number of edge spots, appearance of a third color in the high denom)... Looking at the big picture, it might be interesting to have denominations ranging from 1 to 25k, and two extra no value denominations (useful for fracs, higher denoms, bounty and/or action clock chips). I can help to design the chips and the label.

I'll be keeping an eye on this. Not much for plastics but if I'm gonna go plastic these might be the ones. Guess I should have got a sample set..
I think the Crown Plaza chips were in the $2.30 each range.

Sitting Out
One thing to keep in mind with wanting something like all denoms from 1 to 25k is Abbiati's MOQ, (minimum order quantity) which I think was around 1k chips per denom/design. Failure to order enough chips for a particular denom results in a hefty surcharge (somewhere around $1k USD per denom under MOQ iirc).Interested in a nice designed Abbiati set

Someone else can correct me with the exact MOQ and surcharge values.
Please read up on how group buys work around here. Much study and experience on what you are saying has been done

I've got enough playable sets so it's difficult to justify another chip set (look at my wallet!), but for an Abbiati group buy I'll have to pull some money from under the mattress
Would love to buy a sample set of Abbiatis if anyone has one available!
I rarely get into these group buys but want this one bad. Let’s go for all the bells and whistles because as a group we can get enough volume to make it as reasonable as possible. Don’t skimp out please trying to save a couple pennies. Let’s do this!!
This is only a quick mockup from what are stock available chips, but I feel like a 43mm Binions WSOP BJ tribute set would be a no-brainer

Bear in mind that this one has already been done:
I'm with you on this. I hope that as we blab back and forth about this, @Tommy is busy designing these, and will dazzle us all soon.

It seems like there is enough interest for GB. I spoke with Abbiati the other day, and their operations are all up and running, so that's good.
If everything goes as planned, I think an April order would be about right. Is there someone willing to collect payments this time around? Check, Zelle, and bank transfers will be the only payments I'll be accepting.

Does this also mean that there will be potential add on for the Crown Plaza group buy?It seems like there is enough interest for GB.

Yeah if anyone has a sample of these for sale I'd be interested in renting or purchasing it. Color samples or just a sample from the last GB is fine.

A well known and trusted member has volunteered.
Not sure at this point. There is a lot to consider.
@Tommy I've got some sample sets of the Crown Plaza cash and tournament set I'm willing to send around like we did for Sun-Fly and the cards mold GBs. Any preference on where that is organized?
Anyone else interested in helping, would probably be good to have someone in Canada so we didn't have to go international? I've got 2 sets of cash and 2 sets of tournament so I can in theory do 4 sets, 2 of each, or I can do 2 full sets.

Cool, maybe the general poker chip section or in the GB section. I think either one of those is fine. Thx.

I was part of the original Crown Plaza GB. Did anyone else notice the imperfections on the sides of the chips?
I hadn’t noticed any on mine. Got a picture?
