Thanks Jonathan for the research you put into this. Again I will say again that unless we want ceramic chips and/or want to buy thousands of chips...the four edgespots and the six edgespots are impossible. I've looked around a lot of reputable sights and no one does these kind of chips unless we want to go down in quality.
The other cool thing about buying from this company is that they did the Rounders movie so all their colors will be exactly the same as in the film. I see your point about the KGB chips being kind of worthless if we can't get the same edgespots, but I'm pretty sure waiting around for it is a mistake considering they already told me it is impossible.
So alas I think the three is our only choice. I should have my colors picked out...I like the ones you did except for the shit brown and yellow urine color. Also since you picked out 12 colors...1200 chips would be necessary. I'll sleep on this tonight and try to figure out what I wanna do...

Following our conversation the other day, here is someone's take on the worst video game box art.
I remember being confused by Phalanx and disgusted by Bust-A-Move. I do not, however, remember Bionic Granny.

Poker Chips
Ready-to-order simplicity
So at some point, realizing how heavy 1000+ chips would be, I thought storing them in two cases rather than one would be practical. This led to my idea of two complementary sets, which could be used individually, or combined when a higher total chip count would improve our lives and demeanors. The first set contains the traditional casino colors (blue/red/green/black/purple), with KGB’s spot colors where applicable, and the second set is a splendid-looking customized set (grey/orange/dk blue/brown/lt yellow). Note that the color schemes are visually similar for each chip value, for elegant symmetry and memorization convenience. The 300/100/100/50/50 count works for each 600-chip set, or 250/100/50/50/50 for matching 500-chip sets.
Note on the chip count: A single set of 500 or 600 is more than enough for all our home games; 1000+ chips could accurately be identified as overkill. While increasing the count of low-value chips allows everyone to have big stacks even when a lot of people are playing, it also reduces the use of the higher-value chips. Recall that we seldom touch my purple chips. You could just go with some version of the customized set, since it's uniquely personalized, and it's somewhat pointless to have the KGB colors when the spots don’t match up. But if you're sure you want a huge set (that effectively makes all our other chips obsolete), hopefully you'll get a lifetime of use out of them. I do like having big stacks available, and love the variety of color, but I also like having money. Either choice is easily justifiable.
Heightened difficulty and reward
Way back around the time I received my poker chip set, I was perusing the Web sites and couldn’t decide what number of edge spots looked best. Due to this recent return to the wild world of colorful clay, I have decided that I like four. It looks better balanced than three, and less cluttered than six. So if I had to choose one style it would be with four small edge spots, like KGB’s green/orange and black/green chips in Rounders. I’d think they must sell these somewhere, but who knows.
But even better, I think, would be a set combining different styles and colors, again like KGB’s (with the six-spotted purple/peach chips). The variety would look interesting and also help remind players of the values of the different colored chips. This option might take more time to complete (and yes, might be impossible), but I'd check around about this.
Unattainable perfection
Dazzling the eye and the heart, the rainbow chip is by leaps and bounds the most coveted poker chip ever made. Unfortunately for the common man, it is so valuable that only a few emperors and sultans in the world could ever afford to buy in for one. The lamentable result is that pokerchips.com does not make it available to the general public. Such is life… we dream for a moment of the wonders that might have been, shed a lone tear, and carry on.
