Mine have arrived in Chattanooga. I suspect they will arrive sometime tomorrow. Unfortunately, I won't be around to sign for them, so it's going to be a hit-and-miss game to get home for a delivery or to pick them up at the UPS office.

All blanks, so the initial pr0n won't be spectacular.

I decided not to Oil mine, as after shuffling, I also found they start to look much better and feel much better.

Doesn't mean that I won't oil later....

I wiped some down with warm water and mild soap last night, but didn't get to oiling yet. Brought a stack of them into work today and shuffled them and they are nice and popping while the ones I left at home lack any luster for the moment. So you can definitely get them oiled through regular play if you don't mind having them less popping at the outset of your game.

If you sign up for a My UPS account, you can "sign" for the packages beforehand.

Got mine today! They are amazing, I definitely have issues with the T25, T500, and T1000 not fitting the Chico trays, but I'm not worried, after a little use, I think they'll be fine.
I was short 1 bounty chip, still not bad for 4100 ordered and only missing 1 chip.
My favorite is the Orange T5000, I kinda knew that was going to be the case after seeing the shots. It's simply beautiful.


Here are some pics, I left out the 5 "shipping boxes" pics as they are boring......
Enjoy!

Hi, just curious about this. Don't these come in shrink-wrapped rolls of 25 chips? How could one be missing?

It was shrink wrapped as 24.... here's a pic:

Note the "made in China" sticker is still on the wrapper.
It stood out immediately when I pulled it from the box, and the other 163 stacks seem even.
I emailed Joe about it, I actually was thinking I wanted more Bounties, so I'm going to see what my options are....

[Gear]

Wow, bizarre. Thanks for the pic!

 

[ChipTalker]

Mine looked similar except both stacks do have 25.
Bounty was the only color I had that problem with, all other colors had similar sizes per color per shipped stack.

... straight out of the shrink wrap

 

[grandgnu]

I just brought 400 chips into work today so I can shuffle them to break them in and get some natural oils on em. Got my last hosted game in CT this Friday, so glad I get to put these into play with my current group before we move to FL

Thanks for the heads up. I authorized release at 8am, though the package left for delivery at 6am. I'm hoping the wireless gods are in sinc with the poker gods.

Thanks for the tip! Should have 55 pounds waiting for me tomorrow if I'm not able to sneak home before UPS arrives in my neighborhood

Same thing here. I'm getting two packages signed for one thinking it would do them both. When I checked this morning again it said one had been authorized, the other had not .

I think this is a new thing for them it's the first time I've used it too.

 

[krafticus]

I believe mine arrived today. I'll check them out then... Then off they go.

 

[grandgnu]

I hope BG has gotten his? He sounded pretty upset with all the delays. Feel bad the organizer hasn't gotten to enjoy these babies yet (still shuffling through the 400 I brought to the office today)

[Hot Nuts]

Do I need to drop ship my duplicate order?

This... Tons of people ordered sample sets through BG, and had BG been included in the first batch, everyone would have had some version of these chips to enjoy, touch, etc...

but I understand there was a lot going on at PGI once these guys arrived. Can't make everyone happy.

Im still looking for my chips, no shipping notice, haven't arrived yet. Nothing. As stated in other threads, I'd be fine with getting these absolutely last, if I knew it meant Id be getting them the same thicknesses. I will wait and see. Hoping for the best. .

 

[TexRex]

Mine came in yesterday. I ordered blanks with custom labels.



PGI did a great job on these and I know I'm going to enjoy them! The blacks are slightly thinner and the lavenders are thicker than the others. These pics were taken on a black table top to quickly get them posted.

I got 1600, and the set is design for 40 players. Here's the breakdown.
Day Green 25x325
Black 100x425
Lavender 500x125
Orange 1,000x250
Pink 5,000x250
Forrest Green 25,000x175
Yellow 100,000x50

Received shipping email Tuesday night.

UPS guy stumbles into the shop this afternoon, struggling with a 3x2x2 cardboard box that clearly wasn't empty. "68 lbs.?", I ask with a smile (having noted the weight listed on the shipping notice). "Yeah, every single one of 'em...", he glared back... then smiled, handing me the sign-pad. It's not unusual for us to receive heavy chip packages from him (or the USPS guy), but this one was clearly beyond the norm.

Haven't had a chance to unwrap anything yet.

Glad to hear yours have arrived BG. Thanks again for your involvement in organizing this.

Hurry up and get us our samples, ha!!!

I think they might actually arrive before my chips, lol

On a serious note, I'm very happy you've received your order. Of all people, I think you deserved these chips.

...and of all people, I'm curious about your input on the fitment of these. Are they going into Chipco racks?

 

[grandgnu]

This is unacceptable. If you were at work you had time for at least a quick nooner

Oh, come on, BG. You want people to read AND comprehend at the same time?

C'mon UPS, hitch that brown wagon up to a few more horses and get them cheques here a little quicker.

What is THIS ^^^^ ??????

You mean, you actually get notified where your package is during it's journey? That's Awesome!!! I have just been camped out at my front window waiting. Have no idea the carrier or date of delivery. I think the guessing and anticipation just makes it more fun!



This video is me... totally. I've turned into crazed Tom Hanks, desperate for these chips (my Wilson).

[krafticus]

Here is my set I purchased while my game was going strong. Since then, I've broken up my game and will primarily host cash games. Most of them (if not all of them) have been claimed by others.

You no longer running tournaments, Mark? Did you turn the league over to somebody else, or was it simply abandoned in favor of cash games only?
