A few weeks ago, I covered the Fallout: New Vegas Collector’s Edition, a pretty awesome collection of New Vegas feelies piled on top of the already great (yet extremely, painfully buggy) game. It came with a set of poker chips, which would be both fun and useful, except the “set” included a single poker chip from each casino. You can’t exactly have a game of cards with just one chip of every color. The chips are darn cool, though, and I lamented that you can’t put together an entire, poker-worthy set of them.
It turns out that you can, and that the results are both striking and eye-poppingly expensive.
Reader Greg W. showed me his new project: putting together a complete poker set out of many, many Fallout: New Vegas Collector’s Editions
Greg says he’s spent about $500 pulling together all of these chips from all these collector’s editions. He scours eBay for auctions selling just the chips, so he doesn’t have to shell out the full $70-80 for each set. He’s not done yet, though. Greg says he’d like to have 40-60 sets’ worth of poker chips by the time he finishes collecting them. Our suggestion is to use FedEx or UPS to deliver them; those Wasteland courier companies have been getting accosted by raiders as of late.
