Thank you iamlucky13. Any decent buyer should have found those in a few seconds. And more.
Tired of these delaying excuses.
Well Tom Tom,
since you seem to have all the answers, why don’t you just build your own Group Buy flashlight in like 30 days since it is so easy?
We’ll wait.
Peace Out
Thirty days is too long.
One week perhaps? 
One thing we should all keep in mind: The wait may be frustrating, but it it is well worth it if it results in a superior light.
Give me two years (and counting) and I’m quite sure I would be years further forward. Onto MK IV. In my business (Aerospace) 6 months is a long time, for very complex stuff. In F1 2 weeks is enough for big redesigns, testing, manufacture, back for the next race.
This slow pace, and dilletantism, is mind-numbing. I suspect some enjoy the process far more than the satisfaction of a result, and would prolong things indefinitely, if not restrained.
Still don’t know why I bother with torches, they are such simple things, hardly a challenge.
Meanwhile our suppliers want to get on quickly, make their sales, move on, improve their offerings, do business, continuously improve, improve their lives.
Seems not to be be understood here any more, the drive seems to have gone, and it’s left to a handful of fuddy-duddies to try to keep the flame alive, at their slow pace, and with their conservative attitudes, stuck in their furrows, basking in their fan club plaudits.
Real innovation here ? Show me some from the last few years.
Not volunteering to have another go, having participated in teams twice, interesting but exhausting, frustrating thankless, no concept by others of how to run an efficient tight programme, and unappreciated by the masses.
Other good people I used to work with have just withdrawn for their own reasons. As have I.
Cherish the very few that you have left.
Given your experience and wise advice you don’t seem to practice what you preach.
Don’t mind Sharpie Tom Tom. He just really likes to complain and argue. Even got banned for it, but he eventually made a new account. He has been stirring up trouble on BLF for three years now, since around the end of 2015.
If I understand correctly, he’s part of the reason why the “Report” button was added. (originally called the “Rude!” button)
As our admin wrote and reiterated…
Thank you for confirming my suspicion, TK.
I enjoy listening to opposing viewpoints at times, and I appreciate knowledge and perspectives that I don’t have, but wow, talk about glass half empty…
Doh! 
Thanks TK
I did not know about Sharpie & TomTom, ToyKeeper.
Now things make a lot more sense, as I remember Sharpie.
Hopefully, very soon; we will be going from this….
to this….
…. and the FW3A’s will start rolling off the assembly line.
I’m surprised the chinese don’t make flashlights out of jade…
i would like a lens made of jade…
jade is as hard as a diamond
Shatters on impact and weighs 1kg
Count me in for 1. Hoping for the LH351D version to have news come out but otherwise I’ll take whatever will actually, really exist.
Some news, for those wanting schedule info:
So… that’s the soonest anything could happen.
The supplier has been unable to get LH351D yet, so the first run is almost certainly going to be XP-L HI 3D only. After that, I’m not sure if it’ll be SST-20, LH351D, or other XP-L HI tints.
Thanks for the update TK. 
Interested
Awesome news TK! Hopefully this means the light will go into production in April, and we’ll all have this in our hands by the end of May. 
I can’t wait for Christmas and finally get my FW3A ! 
haha is that what your magic ball says ?
