I made an offer on eBay like they said since I wanted the ones with batteries.
Just a heads up, Amazon charge me almost $5 for tax.
Californians are special.
No tax on mine
eBay charged me 5 bucks tax too. CA needs money!!!
I just bought mine and as a Californian got charged tax…
Is it being shipped from California?
The Group buy prices are listed in the BLF LT1 topic 
No it’s being shipped from china, expected delivery is near end of November.
Ordered on Amazon around 12:30pm EST, no tax.
Great to hear you got your order in :+1: i remember you were the member who noted to me about creating a BLF lantenr project 3.5 years ago. (that is still in the LT1 main topic post)
Not only CA there are more than 10 countries have to pay sale tax already!
Yeah, that's not cool then.
Yep, have not been very active the last couple years and I looked up Kronological and it looks like he has been gone for 1 year 7 months. Lots of crap been going on in my life. Think I have 6 or 8 reserved and was planning on buying them all unless there is some kind of limit now as happened with the BLG GT. Since I got you in this, if there is anything I can do let me know.
Offer submitted on ebay as per instructions. Looking forward to getting this now, should make a nice little xmas gift from me to me!
They did limit it to 1 per order, and 3000 total for the group buy. I sent my # on the list as well as my user ID when I ordered mine. Hopefully I can still use my other list# for my second, but not sure at this time.
Does anybody know how we will be able to know when to order to be sure we are getting a second run unit?
Anxiously awaiting codes here lol. My astrolux mfo1s is taking forever to get here as well. Must be a slow boat. Anyone notice eBay listing is 30 bucks more than Amazon?
Good thread, if people use it well it filters a lot of noise out of the lantern thread.
Just ordered one on Aliexpress. I’m not in the first 500 on the list but I anticipated on some first500people to want to wait for the 2nd batch 
. I ordered but stopped just before paying, then the order appeared in my order history as unpayed. From the order history I contacted the seller for a discount mentioning my BLF name. An hour later the price appeared adjusted and I finished payment.
Aliexpress rules dictate the item to be shipped within 5 days, so I assume that Sofirn has stock at the moment.
Ordered today on AE and mine was shipped in a few hours after that.
I haven’t ordered mine yet , I have to get a code for the lantern with batteries, I guess it is a different code.
On another note, I have been getting emails since Wednesday from Coast to buy their lantern the EAL22.
In my opinion the BLF LT1 wins hands down.
I’m getting dizzy and confused with everything… 
Sorry if I’m being dumb but just can’t figure out what is happening.
What should I do if I’m on the list (3x) but want them with battery ?
My first one is within the 500 first.
Do I order only one for now and then wait for the second batch ?
Do I need to wait for a code ?
Buy it on ebay,ca ? Amazon,ca ?
My old and tired brain is melting…
