Awesome!! Good luck making it through the next 2 days without thinking about your chips every 2 minutes. Enjoy the excitement and anticipation. Looking forward to the pr0n (preferably oiled but we'll take whatever ya got).

Strangely enough, this has provided me with a much needed sense of calm, as thinking about my chips every two minutes has been going on since I submitted the final artwork. Every day has been like, "Is today the day they'll be shipped?"... for over three excruciating weeks!

I'll take a sample set as well if there's any left. PM on the way, I can pay cash since I think I live a few minutes away from you.
 
Okay I've got good news and bad news. The good news is that I picked up my chips today. The bad news is that the edge spots on both the T25 and T500 are not oriented properly. That said, the colours came out as expected (based on my samples) and the feel and sound of the FDL mold surpassed my expectations. I'm not going to oil them or send out samples until I hear from David first. Until then, here's a teaser pic...

Update:

The T25 and T500 are being re-done... sorry but pics and samples will have to wait a little while longer.

Picked up the chips today and I couldn't be happier! I will go through them as quickly as possible this weekend so that I can get the samples out by next weekend.
 
Wow I am amazed by this forum,these chips are fantastic, when I bought mine from cpc I got a stock design because I did not know better . 1500 chip I wish now I had a mulligan mk
 
Okay I've gone through all of the chips to ensure things are good to go. Of note, ALL of the chips have scuffing/scratching on the inlays to some degree... some more than others. This is how they arrived as I've handled them very little, other than to check for proper label orientation and denomination. I guess this is one of the drawbacks of the FDL mould. I will not be oiling the samples as I'm aware that some are very particular on how this is applied, if at all. I'll be making a trip down to the Post Office this weekend, so all who placed orders should have them within the week. I hope to have pictures up soon, so stay tuned.

Relax - my chips do have these scratches, too. And they're on Diamond Square. :whistle: :whistling: :coffee:

PM me when you are ready for local pickup and we can coordinate a date/time.

Thanks,

My sample set just arrived. (y) :thumbsup:
They're really, really awesome - thank you so much!

BTW: The envelope looked like brand new - not if it has been traveled from Canada to Germany.
There has to be someone who cares out there. :cautious:
 
My sample set arrived while I was at MTTD. What a peaceful vibe from this set. Sort of like the Boulevard set. Beautiful execution!!!

Yes, the CIA occasionally opens envelopes full of chips, repacks them in fresh new envelopes and hand delivers them to your door so that it looks untouched. Haven't you been watching Homeland? We can never be too careful. Those chips could be headed to Russia via Germany for a poker game involving the highest officials of Kremlin and UB :D

(Insert a Photoshoped picture of Helmuth, Trump and Putin playing while Melania, Jared and Ivanka are watching)

Working for the post office has its advantages. I'm able to bypass most of the processing and take the shipment directly to the work area that it will be despatched from. Most damage to packets/parcels happens in transport. Packets are stuffed into bags so that the shipper doesn't have to handle every piece, however these bags are placed on top of one another (and are usually thrown), so you can imagine the strain the bottom bag feels from the 10+ bags on top of it. As for parcels, they are loose loaded into a shipping container. Properly loaded, the parcels should be brick piled so as not to damage the parcels on the bottom row (or any row, really). If not brick piled... well I think you know the outcome to that. Add to that, air turbulence if flown, sea swells and poor road conditions for surface transport, and you have a nice recipe for a ruined package. This is why it's so important to package properly. Letterpost (First Class Mail, Priority Airmail, Documents, etc) are placed into nice sturdy handheld containers and lidded... guess how yours was sent? ;)

Not sure I deserve such high praise but I'll take it... The Boulevard is one of the greatest sets I've ever seen. I love how the chip colours change based on the time of day. Most recently @Rhodeman77's The Club House and the changing of the seasons reminds me of this as well.



Glad you both like the samples and thanks for the kind words!

@kk405... not sure if you know but I was checking to see if everyone's samples arrived safely and saw this on USPS's website for your shipment...

Seriously though the USPS may be keeping it for you to pick up.
