Is there any demand for TINA's ceramics in Europe? (5 Viewers)

[Kid_Eastwood]

Hi,

I ordered one set from Tina (their cards mold) and sold it quickly for a couple of reason :
- Spinners
- Spots not properly aligned
- The fact they put my design on their website as "stock design" without even asking

It was a couple of years ago, so now, maybe spinners & spots alignment issues have been solved, but certainly not the 3rd one I mentionned.
And now, they offer debossed hybrids which everyone seem to like.
At the time they were relunctant to try and print more samples for color validations.

If I want to get custom ceramics (or hybrids), my go-to is SunFly. They have just shipped my last order a couple of days ago.
Colors with SF are less vibrant than Tina but they have other advantages :
- Very patient and professional customer service ;
- Never get a single spinner in any of my order and edge spot alignment is great ;
- If you order chips (even years) later, they can perfectly color match them (from my own experience !).

@Fran can also comment as he ordered from both two.

Chipping costs will probably be more or less the same.

Same conclusion
sold all my Tina stuff years ago and only kept casino grade chips.

Well, we're located in the E.U. and have decent shipping deals.

Are you the ower of defunct MrChips.eu website ?
Back in 2015 I bought a SunFly "Boracay" set there with the WSOP inlay logo.

I am interested, but only if we can get a custom mold made using my vintage bicep design (watermark is to protect my IP). Artwork matching the mold theme would be nice.

Admiral Casino in Mendrisio (Switzerland) has in play 1 euro chips made by Sun-Fly (diamond mold).
As long as I know, it's the only casino with Sun-Fly chips in play

Spoiler: spoiler

Higher denominations anyway are not made by Sun_Fly

Abbiati? BG?

Definitely interested.

Looke like @pokersepp is in the conversation and already has experience dealing with suppliers and large qtys of stock
From my experience customs are the biggest pain apart from the shipping itself (granted, mine were flown from China rather than freight)

He told me he only operates with Anita. So i really don’t think he can help us with Tina.

Their Hybrids are fantastic!

Abbiati? BG?

ACF used SF hybrids for their tournament.
I think they also provide casinos in Asia.

I have no complaints about the set I ordered ("new" Greek Mold).
