[PART 1] Official BLF GT Group Buy thread. Group buy officially closed! Lights shipping.

Done.

(Sorry, I had to go to work to pay for my flashlight habit. :slight_smile: )

The Miller is leaving blanks in the “core” list. (See #249, #313)

I am not including the “blanks” in my sorted list. If I did, ‘blank’ would be taking up one of the coveted top 555 slots.

So basically the “sorted” list will be like the 1st list on POST #3. Where blanks are not counted and 2nd lights are moved beyond 555??

Both the 1st list in post #3 and the alphabetical list in post #3 will be updated.

Blanks are in the core list (post #1) but not in the sorted lists (post #3).

2nd lights are moved beyond 1st lights. The transition between 1st lights and 2nd lights is currently between #620 and #621.

All payments after review of retail version.

Man i am so confused with all these lists. All i know is im #251 lol

@ Mr. Scott
Just to be sure I understand correctly.
The first list in Post #3 is … the official purchase list??

Yes or No

:smiley:

Thank you… :wink:

I have been trying to keep up with all the posts in here but with all this talk of taxes, multiple payments, different shipping methods, cells bundling, short tubes and multiple lists I am totally confused as to what’s happening.

I am assuming it will all be explained and make sense in the PM we get sent but can I just clarify a few things for my own understanding to make sure I don’t stuff something up during the payment process.

1) We will get sent a PM to make a $14 payment via PayPal to Neal. In this payment we put our BLF name, address and spot on list. I assume the spot on the list is from the core list so for me it would be #82?
2) We will get sent another PM within a short period after making the $14 payment to pay for the rest. This period is yet to be confirmed
3) Where does the short tube, different shipping options etc. fit into all this? Will there be a cart system where we just add the extras before making the final payment?
4) Fortunately we don’t have to pay any import taxes on items <$1000 here so that is of no concern to me.

I apologise in advance if this has already all been explained somewhere, I did try to look but was unsuccessful.

Thanks!

@LSX,

From what I understand

1) Yes, yes, but you are #79 not #82, due to people before you wanting multiple lights/withdrawing. I believe the order is in The GT List.

2) Something like this, I believe they are trying to find a way to mass PM without having to individually contact everyone.

3) I believe we can somehow make a choice, either on a lumintop hosted page or otherwise? Otherwise this is just administrative and I’m sure Lumintop/the GT team will have a solution.

4) :slight_smile:

I don’t believe there is a short tube option, maybe in the future.

You’ll specify shipping option in your paypal note. DHL or two separate boxes.

Thanks for asking, as I would also like to know.

Oh man, was really hoping for a short tube option. I love the short tube look, and as a complete playtoy, It seems like a waste to dedicate 8 cells for a light I wouldn’t need to last more than a night’s walk. For something so seemingly easy to produce, I really hope it will be offered as an option/at extra cost.

Unless they made the prototype short tubes on a manual lathe, (which is unlikely), it should be trivial for them to make more at a later date. I’d be very surprised if they aren’t made available eventually.

Yes thanks Mr Scott!
Sorted list is in and I will post it later.

The GT works with 4 or 8 cells, there is no need to allocate 8 cells.

A short tube is not planned, if I see how confusing it is now for a lot of people it seems best not to pursue it now for it would make things more confusing.

I totally understand it is all a bit strange, it grew complex finding solutions but the info is in the OP.

Your welcome. :slight_smile: I am kinda in the same boat LSX is in.

I did not think there was to be accessories or choices… except batteries. But apparently I was wrong. :person_facepalming:

I see mention of hard case for $20, short tube for $10, & seems like something else I can’t remember atm. Sounds good though…. I was just confused it seems. :slight_smile:
………
EDIT: Miller & I were posting at same time. I see there is no short tube. Thanks TM. :slight_smile:

Is there mentioning of a hard case or short tube as options in the OP?
It shouldnt so if I accidentally added it resulting in confusion, let me know so I can delete it :slight_smile:

No I saw it a few post back where the short tube was mengioned for $10, case for $20, 2 chargers for $50, and something else???
Maybe I ready the post wrong or something??? I don’t know atm…… :frowning:

This was it. Sure enough I had misread when I scanned over it.

I thought this was now being offered. My bad……

Edit…… Thank goodness it was a misread on my part. Didn’t want any of this stuff anyway & it might have delayed things to boot. :wink:

I see, apologies for adding to the confusion. There isnt any mention in the OP, but there are links to MRsDNF’s and DEL’s reviews of a short tubed version, which probably lead to my understanding that there will be such an option.

I understand it works with either/both cell carriers, but it just feels wrong to have so much wasted space in a portable device. Oh well, it is what it is, and hopefully such an option is presented in the future if it is not now.

Ah you mean the post below?
Just read ALL the text and same as with the OP, you’ll see there is much less reason for confusion then only reading the stuff you want or wish for :slight_smile:
