Someone in a another thread asked for a review but there were so many non-responses, I figured I'd put it up here. To give you a bit of background - I currently own 300 of the diamond type chips and 1200 of the pro las vegas style. I also have played with or have samples of actual Paulsons, chipcos and Nevada Jacks, dice and some of the blue chips out there.
So here we go. For a cheap chip, I don't think you can do much better than the Nexgens. They have a nice feel - a tad slippery - although they stack remarkably well - not too hard and not too soft although they can be damaged. I really like the mold - it appears top notch. The colors are nice and subtle - I got the whites, greens, blacks and reds. They are perfect for labels and I indeed got 500 and matching labels from lynbark to make my own custom set - I am very happy with how they turned out. The sound - just ok - much, much better than all the other metal insert chips out there but not as good as the real thing. They are fine for tricks as well - I can easily shuffle stacks of 10.
Really, these are nice and I am considering getting rid of my Pro Vegas and buying more. The only flaw is that they are almost too heavy - a tad lighter and they would be nearly perfect. For the price, however, you can't go wrong.
