| | | help me choose which group buy
There are so many group buys happening now that I can't decide!
Taking into comparison price vs product.

| | | Well, since you're already getting the Pharaoh's, I say Matsui. You'll have one set of chips with edge spots (and denominations?), and one set with no edge spots nor demoniations.
But the Samurai's look fanastic too. If they can really get a good weight on them, they will be amazing, and very unique.
In the end, you shouldn't rely on a poll to make your decision for you, just go with the chips that you like the most and/or are a good companion set to whatever Pharaoh's you ordered. |

It really is between Samurai's, Matsui and ASM.
(ASMs are only in there because of the good price)
Btw, where does the Samurai weight of 9.6g rank with other chips? |

Still, I agree with Spacemonkey, a set of Pharaoh's and a set of Matsui's would cover all bases... spots or no spots, denoms or no denoms. As far as the weight question, Ten's review says that both Paulson chips and the Matsui's he received weighed in at an average of 9.64 grams. |

| | | I went with ASMs. I'm also waiting on Pharoah's and I think the solid color set will be a great compliment. I went with the ASMs over Matsui because I want to personalize this second set with my own label idea and denoms are a must for me.
I ordered all 4 plain color chips in the ASM group buy. |

| | | For the chip itself, I would go with ASM. But if there aren't any colors you like, hate the no-inlay option, etc, then move on.
No way on the Samuri's. I think the design is amazing - really top notch. I just hate Blue Chip chips.
That said, I voted Matsui. They'll be a "total package" chip. Nice inlay design, great clay chip. |

| | | do we know what the matsui's are going to cost? if the price stays low (which i know they were trying to do) that chip might be too good to pass up. but if the price gets jacked up by extras like UV, custom molds, and that kind stuff you might want to go with the samurai palace (assuming they weigh in close to 10g). |
