Pictures of my new NPS and Samurai Chips

Nothing you havent seen before, but I just got these today so I figured I would post some pics.

My new NPS chips. 300 total. This is my prize from winning D'Apache Code. Used the $275 gift card and paid the extra $60. Josh sent a free 300ct chip case too. Thanks again to Josh from ApachePokerChips (you the man)! I really like these alot more in person than I did in the product pictures. And I forgot just how rough and chalky brand new Paulsons are.
120 - $100
120 - $500
60 - $1000

====================================================

And here are the Samurais I just bought from a ChipTalk member. I only bought 100 chips to be used a heads up set. I like them so much after using them today that I just might buy more. The picture only shows 90 chips because I needed 10 $5 chips but he didnt have any, so I bought 10 $100 chips from him and traded with someone for 10 $5 chips which are still on their way to me. Also pictured is the Samurai Dealer Button that I also bought. It is in mint condition. I did notice that I cant fit any of the Samurai chips into a 39mm airtite. The chips are too big. It was difficult to get the dealer button into the ringed airtite, but I made it work. Total I paid for 100 chips and the button was $98 shipped (seller offered to pay shipping but I wouldnt accept).

Sweet chips. Those and the pharoahs are my favorite for home chips. I never get tired of seeing them and playing with them. I love the Samurai dealer button.

I REALLY like how the 500 has that two tone edgespot configuration!
I didn't think that would look that nice, but it really blends well when you have that tall stack of 500's!

Nice job on the Code and congratulations on that sweet set!

I also really like the 100 and 500 from the NPS set,love those split edge spots, only thing better would of been 3 spot instead of 2.

I've I wanted another headsup set I would totally get those NPS chips for it using the 100 and 500. But right now I just got charged for my 2nd batch of ASM's so no chips for awhile, that and I just got my hotstamped TR Kings.

It feels very good! Today was Christmas for me. Both packages arrived at the same time. I had to convince the lady to play some poker with me, I just couldnt wait to use them. I went to the store and bought a pack of pink Bicycle cards so she couldnt say no.

The Samurais feel awesome. I kinda wish I would have bought them new, but I really wanted the dealer button and buying these was the only way I was ever going to get one. If I have some extra money any time soon I may sell these Samurai chips and pay the extra couple bucks to buy them new.

Those are beautiful pics, and great chips, which makes them even better. Congratulations on your contest win, to the victor go the spoils.

I like them more every time I look at them. When they were first designed, I really wanted a set. Mostly because they broke away from the old inserts. Then when they started selling them I didnt really like the inlay too much and the price was too high. I had the gift certificate that I had to use on Apachepokerchips, and the NPS were my favorite chips on the site. I almost got some Deadwoods instead, but when JM sent me a pic of a NPS chip he labeled I was sold. Im trying to create a label for them right now. I thought I wasnt going to like them that much, but they are stunning in person and the inlay really doesnt bother me much anymore. Depending on how my custom label comes out, I may just end up keeping them as is.

Pictures Nugzy - we're going to need pictures of your labeled chips. I never saw JM's labeled NPS. Can you post a pic?
