I’ll have one full sample if possible, let me know how much more I shall send through paypal. Thanks! (y) :thumbsup:

 

[Nex]

I'll let you know if that works once I have the decisions of the four guys in front of you!

 

[Invenis]

Wow! Very nice chips Nex - I’ll take the full sample set, please (y) :thumbsup:
Sorry @zqar21 but I really love any Nex’s design and just couldn’t resist

No worries, this is just fair! I’m glad I get something

I’ll take one of the 6 pcs sample then is it 16.50 EUR I shall send or is it more freight?

Given I have the one multi-chip lot per person rule, I can already process this.
Yep, just 16.50 to my PayPal. You already ordered some samples and paid for shipping of an up to 500g envelope, it will fit the additional chips at no extra cost.

 

[cpac54]

Gerne nehme ich auch ein 6er Musterset

Shipping to Zürich. Just shoot me a PM with total and PP info.

 

[Nex]

Sorry, but there are still a few people in front of you. I've added you to the list.

 

[superchromix]

I’ll take the extra 5¢ chips if my samples haven’t shipped yet.

 

[Nex]

Finished packing all the envelopes!
I can already feel the boundless joy of the post office clerk.

 

[Nex]

Okay, I've just finished sending out all the private messages to the people who ordered samples.
If you did order and have not yet received a message from me telling you I've shipped your samples, please ping me!

Looks like that's it. Everything out of the door! Hope they all have a safe journey to you guys. (y) :thumbsup:

 

[DerberAlter]

Is there any chance to buy a set of those?

 

[DerberAlter]

I want to buy a 4 chip sample.

 

[Nex]

Decided to make use of the good EUR->USD exchange rate these days and placed a small add-on order.

Fixing a minor imperfection in the original design which I realized in hindsight, and a tiny expansion for fun. Another small imperfection to be fixed with my Horseshoe tournament set as well. Stay tuned - looks like early next year...

No samples as this was a 5 minutes past midnight thing.

Even though I already did a somewhat high quality photo shoot (for an express non-pro) with my first FF DSLR here, the desire to get the imperfection fixed together with the fact that I now have an even higher performance DSLR body will very likely warrant another shoot...

 

[superchromix]

Is FDL mold coming up soon?

 

[BarrieJ3]

No samples as I want Barrie to suffer for all eternity

 

[Nex]

Got info from David -- due to them not measuring the clay amounts with perfect precision, I could add up to 20 or so of each design if I'm relatively fast (few days). So it looks like I actually can offer samples here.

Should be around 7.50€ for both.

The mentioned Horseshoe chip is the rework of a bounty of which there haven't been samples in the original run either, and this won't change.

Shipping I don't know for sure yet; there have been some regulatory changes that would make it 80%-140% more expensive than before because they disallow sending goods in int'l letters now. I might be able to disguise the chips as documents with some cardboard within the bubblewrap envelopes to still send them as letters. If that works it's 3.70€ and optionally 3.50€ for tracking, otherwise it's 8.89€ and optionally 4€ for tracking. Bubblewrap envelope costs me 0.50€.

- max 20 two-chip sample sets
- max one set per member (can ship sets for multiple people combined though)
- can also combine with Club Hel sample orders if there are enough
- first come first serve (Barrie already expressed interest)
Deadline is Saturday 17th October 23:59 UTC+2 by which I need the money.

1. @BarrieJ3 reserved slot
2. @davislane pending
3. @Phish1321 pending
4. @arch3r paid

Haven't yet decided if or when to reveal the designs, for now I'll just say: two chips, L4/L7 spots, dayglo on each. Should be around 7.50€ for both.

That one has different issues. Just posted an update over there too.

 

[Phish1321]

In for samples please if available. Thanks

Originally wanted to wait until I got the actual proofs, but whatever.

Here are the mockups:

The original 5c chip turned out to be a little bit too easy to mistake with the 25c in darkness for my taste, even when the spots are lit up with an UV lamp. 414 is just too close to 614 in appearance on the rolling edge. Wouldn't have been an issue if the denoms were farther apart from each other so that they usually wouldn't be on the table at the same time. But should not use the same spot type in adjacent denoms.

Penny for fun
