Yeah I got 5 sets as well...it took them a while to figure that error out.

I'm kind of surprised that it took them that long. Usually they catch it right away.

I verified that it's the exact same set (they didn't used to say Nexgen)

I grabbed 5 sets too. Even with shipping it was under $.10 a chip - not to mention the cost of the cases, cards, etc.

Thanks to Rosencrantz for posting the original link to the deal.

Ok so who wants some Nexgens - I gotta great deal on sets of 300 ---- only $69.99 - that's $20 less than Target

(just kidding obviously)

Damn it sucks that I missed this, I woulda bought them just for the hell of it. I can only imagine what Target's IT guys saw when there was 150 of these ordered off their website in five minutes. The world doesn't even KNOW what CT is capable of!!

I was wondering about that too. Actually I am curious to know how much $ that mistake cost them. Hopefully nobody lost their job over it.

I'm not sure that's the same deal. Those nexgens in your link to Target look like the 'series 2' or multi color edge spot chips. I just got my 19.99 set a few days ago, thinking maybe I should have bought another one (I'm cheap!). Thought the LV's were still available for that price, but haven't checked for a couple days.
