Matsui WSOP Replicas

joshuadalton · #1 (**permalink**) 09-13-2006, 08:25 AM

I know everyone has been itching to get this thing going. I have emailed Johnny5 asking him to work on the inlay some more and suggest what Matsui colors he thinks will be the closest representation of the real chips.

Here is the latest Inlay by J5. It also shows a mockup of the actual WSOP chip.

Here are the denoms we will attempt to order. It is a mix and match set of multiple years in an effort to give folks as many options as possible.

Here are some of the details......
-The cost will be .90/chip.

-There is a $250 art fee for each chip, making the cost 1.15/chip at the minimum 1,000. (This cost will gradually drop as more than 1,000 chips are ordered)

-A minimum of 10,000 chips must be ordered, with a minimum of 1,000 of each denomination.

-The time frame for production and delivery to me will be 4-6 weeks from the time of the order.

-I would like to have the order period last about a month so that we can allow as many people to be involved as possible.

Nice - a good idea.

When does the current Matsui Group buy land? - I think it will be important for lots here to see a finished version of the Matsui's stacked and the overall quality.

Great design

I should have them around the 1st of October.

They look good and would be about the closest thing you could get to the real chips. I might be interested but man, this chip thing is getting out of control. Just when I think it's died down something else pops up. Stop posting new chips for a while, can't take it much longer.

Wow, I thought that there was a lot more interest in these.....

Hopefully when I have the final inlay designs from J5, it will pick back up. Or, I guess I could just buy 10,000 myself

I may be too late on this one, but I really like the inlays on these chips my problems in the chip themselves. The half moon is my least favorite chip. I like the 1k, the 10k, and the 100k patterns the best. They are the simplest and I wish you would have used them on the 500 and 5000 chips. I may still be in for these, but I will have to see the actually chips. Just my opinion.

These will likely not be available once you actually see the chips. This is going to be a group buy opportunity, I am not a retailer. If I do decide to buy a surplus of them for resale, the price will be higher than the one listed above.

As far as the molds go, these are what I believe to be the best options that are available. I don't want to repeat the same mold too often. The way the progression is now, it is unlikely that the same mold will be used on the table at the same time.

I'm interested in these chips, I'm just waiting patiently for the chips to be finalized. When J5 works his magic on the inlays like he did with the Paulson Hot stamps , I'll place my order. I like the unique design on these, so I’m in for 500-1000 when the ordering (GB) begins.

I may be in for a small set but will probably wait untill I have my chips from the last buy in hand so I can make up my mind. Also, I don't need anymore sets so thats another concern.

If I did get any it would be a small set of the red/yellow 25k and the green/black 100k chips for a small final table esque chip set, maybe a headsup type set. But probably won't top 300 chips unless I fall in love with the Zen chips them who knows.

J5 has done a great job getting the inlay as close as possible to the actual chips. I think it looks great! The picture shows a mockup of the actual chip, and the Matsui replica.
