Yea, that's what they say but on Ali, I've seen 10K+ listed there - usually they quote same outlandish #, or maybe what is possible, but not on hand. Again, I have little faith in those newly formed Ali stores, they come and go on a daily basis, fake shipping statuses are also possible, though not sure if BG is any better as of late. That store has very little volume in sales - the FT03 just became their 3rd highest selling flashlight with 13 orders now with 26 orders being the highest seller... They hit the big time.
It's all speculation at this point, but for me, at least we have freeme pulling for us on this BG buy so I'll stick this out.
I have stopped wondering and put this light out of my thinking pattern!! Otherwise, I would drive myself nuts wondering, analyzing and waiting for it!!
Maybe I am able to do this because it is just an average light to me compared to my modded throwers. I also know it is “Out of my control” which is a bit different when buying the vast majority of my collection which was within the USA.
