Really glad I logged in to see that, holly smokes that would absolutely have ruined my day, and I’m certain I wouldn’t have expected that at all so I would have been in a mess.
I’ve smoked some other reflectors and thought that was bad, this would be a nightmare scenario,
Maybe someone in the loop should send that pic to Neal and a heads up, nothing they can do about the ones already assembled but I’m darn happy to know to watch for this, thank you KawiBoy1428, wow,
Just a suggestion to save you folks fielding the unending identical questions repeated over and over… Maybe a FAQ that can be linked to for Giggles? Just handle questions that the FAQ doesn’t address and add them to the FAQ as required.
The BLF GT looks out of this world. Could you start the process of putting me on the list for One please? I will register for the Battery deal too. UK Based. Will wait to hear from you. Many Thanks.
Coyotehawk will add your names to his sign up list. You’ll see your name when he does the next update. It will be sometime mid January when you are emailed with the details of where to go and how to order.
You can also buy 8 of the Samsung 35E batteries for $40 at the same time as you buy the light. No sign up necessary for those. There are plenty of batteries in stock.
If they start a new thread there is. As it stands right now the miller is the only one who can update the OP (#1)…an he is not around to do it. :person_facepalming:
The Miller set up this group buy so that all posts come through here. He did not want additional threads. Maybe he felt people would get confused by mutiple threads? IDK. It’s just unfortunate that he took ill and had to miss out on the big release of the GT. Up until then, things where going pretty smooth as he was handling things, greeting new members, updating the list and updating post #1. I think things still went pretty smooth in his absence. Yeah, we had a lot of repeat questions, but we had the same situation in the Q8 GB were post #1 was always updated. Folks still asked the same old questions. You just can’t avoid that. Lol.
Several folks in the Q8 group buy, myself included, asked for new threads just for people to say “mine is ordered” or a thread just to say “I got mine, look at it”, etc… (those types of posts take up huge space) but he did not want that.
It’s his group buy so we are somewhat limited without him. Luckily, we are almost done with the GT. Another month or two and this thread will start to dwindle.
There have been a lot a great ideas to make future group buys better, though. Maybe they can be used on the FW3A as it has not gotten into full swing, yet. There are a lot of interesting flashlight ideas floating around so I’m sure there will be future BLF designed flashlights with group buys. We learn a little more with each one on how to make things go smoother.
