TR King Group Buy UPDATED 7/28 WITH POLLS!!

ehanhan · #1 (**permalink**) 09-20-2005, 12:20 AM

So I've searched far and wide for the right chip

Other group buys have been nice but not enough customization. I want the whole chip to be unique not just the inlay.

So finally I stumble onto TR King's website. For 95/cents and only 5000 chips we can get whatever we want. Edespot colors and patterns. Hell even custom labels with 2 colors.

Would anyone else be interested in a TR King buy with some nice 2 color edgespots?

Good luck on your group buy.

I have been waiting for someone to do this for a long time now. If no one else does it, eventually I will probably do it myself. I have not done it as I am photochop and graphically challenged.

I have noticed that the only way you really get much interest is to do some mock-ups and post pics. No one will commit to something that they don't even know what it will look like.

I am sure that if someone were to do a nice design with good colors and good edge spots, it would not be too hard to get 5000.

I am a definite maybe. For the most part I like the Rounders, just too much a piece IMO. If the colors are good and the inlay - you can probably count me in for 3 to 500. I won't touch them without denominations or if the $1 chips are white.

Most people prefer white so, I may not be a candidate. Still trying to justify buying some Samurai Palace chips - just not much of a Japanese art fan - I love the color layout though.

For what it is worth. My vote would be for a new/completely different inlay design/ theme, denominated with a variation going from simple to more complex/intricate for the edge spots. To me the classic Las vegas base colors work best.

I made a custom TRKing buy recently.

I bought 1100 chips. They should be arriving with 2 weeks or so.

Here were the colors
$5 - 3 moon mold - Red base color - 1 white , 1 orange , 1 yellow edgespot
$25 - 5 edge spot mold - Green base color - edgespots are pink
$100 - 4x1 mold - Black base color - 2 sets of opposing edgespots (yellow / fire)
$500 - 3x2 mold - Lavendar base color - White / pink edgespots
$1000 - 4x2 mold - White base color - Yellow / Light Tourquise base edgespots

I used the standard Kings crown inlay.

I'll post pictures when I get the chips.....they were ordered the 1st week of Aug.

I suggest this set of chips....yes...it will be great

just some rough mockups i did last week with the same thoughts in mind. i was thinking non denom, but i'm open for anything. the only one i REALLY would like to stick with as far as colors is the yellow w/blue and grey(orblue and white). i know this is the same as the rounder $1000, but i love it. as far as the inlay, i'm open for ideas, this is just one i was considering if i went with asm horseheads.

1. TR King does not have a 4x3 mold.
2. Your Grey / Blue 5x1 chip will be very very grey

i also wouldn't mind having the inlay somewhat match the color of the chip(like the palm non edge spot paulsons), but idon't know if this would be possible or even in the price range
