Also check out your local Dollar Tree. They've had large foam dice recently - however, if this is a video project, you might object to the words "made in china" on the "one" side of the die. Heck...you just might not like it in general, but it may be worth a look.
If they're foam dice, it seems like it would be minimal work to make that "made in china" go away. A little scraping or Dremel-ing, and Bob's your uncle.
Would it even take that? Wouldn't just a little Liquid Paper do the job for video purposes?

Depending on the color of the dice, maybe. If they were white, prolly. (And even if not, a can of spray paint and a Sharpie and now not only are they white, but the Chinese 2 problem goes away AND if you want to pip them in a certain style (I could provide High Rollers pictures if someone wanted) you could.

Does anybody know how big those dice on High Rollers and The Big Showdown were? That's kind of what I'm looking for. I'll try EBay. Does anyone else know though?

I'll do this, I'll link the ones I already took, and that really should be enough to get you the rest of the way.

From this thread:

http://sdrv.ms/KnUwcF (Chrome doesn't seem to like the link too much, but IE and FireFox parse it fine.)

I'll probably unshare them soon because the world doesn't need to be in that folder, so get 'em while they're hot.

As it happens, I know exactly how big the HR dice are, for obvious reasons. They are 3 1/4" on a side.

What exactly does this mean?
