Unfortunately I can't provide a first hand endorsement since I've never bought from them. They are 10g, no metal slug. BTW, I like your avatar. |

I hope the stickers aren't crappy and peel off easy. |

Unfortunately, their colours are extremely limited these days. |

Chips: 761 | | | Re: Really nice looking slugged chips- what do you think? What's the point mentioning F.C's when there so few chips to purchase. According to O.C. the only available colors are White, Red & Green. Basically the worst color of the bunch. Yes I know that was a Capt. Obvious statment.
So what would be the Next great cheap chip? Is it the Soprano's, the Super Diamonds, Nexgens or bust.
For the money these chips may be better than any other cheap alternative.
Some of us were lucky to get the F.C's when all the colors were available.
Gl with your decision. |

Chips: 1,818 | | | Re: Really nice looking slugged chips- what do you think? I agree with the person who said they look like they will be tough to sort out in a pot...
The other thing that looks funky to me is the gradient denoms! I can barely read them... They might look better in person, but these just arent doing it for me.
