Bad | § Heavy set to bring around |
One point to note is that, all these sets do not come with chips. I do not always play with chips. Playing with real money might be better for those who wants to see $$$ and heighten the excitement! =p
Personally, I might go for item #1 as it is the cheapest! However, for those who want a good feel of the tiles and to hear the tiles hitting off each other, item #3 is a steal!! It has a gold "silk", nice, and durable case. Item #2 is the compromise choice between price and size.
Your choice? =)
