This is a public pole. It will run indefinately.

Based on the current direction of the chip, what will be your level of participation in the group buy?

This could turn out to have quite a bit of interest. At least, I hope so.

This is not the same old "yay, let's get together and buy some pharoahs" or "hey, i have another cute idea for some TR Kings." Not to disparage those, but those are running almost nonstop. This is by far the most unique group buy that I've seen on this board, and has seen immense debate. It'd be a shame if there wasn't significant interest.

That would be the "black sands resort & casino" GB - it's a ressurected GB from back in the day. It started out as matsui non-spotted, matsui fell through. TRK ended up not working out. I wonder if the originators of this buy didn't just get themselves a small custom set of what they had in mind.

Now, wooderson has lifted it up again. We've seen some polls and much feedback. Several people have toyed around with mockups.

I'm sure this buy will get organized, and be presented in short order. AND, the chips will be awesome!

The gist of the history threads is: let's do a plain chip (possibly w/ custom mold) in pastel colors. It will be reminiscent of the palms plain pastel tourney chips. Suggestions for the mold included turtles, palm trees, lettering, plain, and the TRK small crown - not to mention ASMs offerings. Blacl Sands resort and casino is the fantasy - and the intent is luxury - a non-denom tourney chip.

Pretty much what Dimperdoo said. These will be Blue Chip manufactured, custom house molded. Check the titles of the threads for the group buy and then head to the Group Buy Discussions forum for the thread.

Right now I'm simply in the process of working with artists on a couple of mold mold ideas to present. At that point pricing will be released and purchase instructions.
