I currently have a load of the pretty much standard 11.5g chips (the ones with the suits around the top) and am thinking about upgrading. I am looking for high quality proper casino grade/feel chips with numbers on, or even better, a company who provide these chips and let you personalise them.
Any ideas?

ever looked into shipping from US sites
ASTRONOMICAL
combininc chip shopping with a Vegas trip might be worth doing. many companies do free delivery to Vegas hotels I believe.

Cheers Bongo - The sport  ones are very similar to the chips i have. I would love to order form the states but the problem is shipping costs as Adam said. There must be someone in the UK that offers this  |

If there is i'd love to know about them!
The sportshq do the "prettier" chips as well, don't think i've seen many other choices in the UK.

Do you think it's dangerous to have Busby Berkeley dreams?

Have to admit i bought a WSOP chip set when i was over there in July - the difference in standards and price are unbelievable to some of the things being offered in some shops. I would warn people to look into the tax side when having goods shipped over from the US, it can get a bit heavy. I had a hockey shirt shipped over recently as none of the shops over here sell coyote replica shirts - the shirt and shipping were reletively cheap compared to the prices over here but then i was charged an extra £40 in tax (approx 30-35% of the price i paid) just to bring it in through customs.

Just seen the 'prettier ones', not bad at those prices, pity they only go up to $100. Just seen what Argos are trying to pass of as WSOP Chips - http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/2701314.htm  |

These are the sort I am looking for, Ceramic 'Protec' chips http://poker.marlowcasinochips.com/protec.htmHaving said that I think I can only afford 10 so I'll need to get them in 5k format so everyone gets a chip each! |
