*BLF LT1 Lantern Project) (updated Nov,17,2020)

Please send me the code, I’m in for one.

I’m in for this if someone sets it up. I would like for these projects to continue on BLF and am willing to show some appreciation to help grease the wheels.

Well the good news is my offer didn’t get declined.
The bad news is it wasn’t accepted either! Lol. I was totally ignored. Just wondering whether I should make another offer of the same amount? Is that possible or do I have to offer a higher amount which would mean my total would not be correct?

Sofirn usually is quiet over weekends, i’m sure next week they will respond to you & others.

LG — Your post is a bit confusing.

You were not ignored — You most likely made an offer over the weekend and didn’t change the offer period to reflect the weekend and the offer expired. Default is 1 day for an offer — You should have changed to 2 days reflecting the weekend.

Simply make an other offer and being this will be during the week the default time of 1 day is fine.

When you make an offer - Populate the dollar box with the same discounted dollar amount.

Did you leave your username in the comments? Or did you just make an offer at the GB price? It is also the weekend so try again on Monday.

First I want to thank DBSAR and the whole team for making the BLF Lantern. I was following the projekt before there was a list, and now finally several year after if looks like it comming true !

It looks beutiful and I really like what has been done. Is this version without charging capabilities, maybe I wanted that to if its missing.

I havent benen following the projekt lately have been working and had many other things to attend to.

Anyway now I read that they have been sending emails for ordering. I have number
177, 230,231 and 232 and havent recieved any mail yet. Should I have recieved 1 or 4 mails?

Anyway great work !

Maybe the Sofirn gang is taking a three day weekend to celebrate Columbus Day on Monday. :wink:

As I understand it you should receive one PM since Sofirn wants to give as many people as possible an opportunity to get a LT. Given that the PM’s are sent out manually this may or may not end up being the case.

Thanks SIGshooter for the answer. Waiting for 1 mail then no hurry.

I ordered 5pcs via AliExpress. I didn’t wait for a message on BLF, I just messaged Sofirn.

I have a feeling it’s not going to sell out in the order of the list.

That’s always a possibility when the ordering process is spread among 3 sites (4 if you separate amazon.com from amazon.de) and the orders are manually confirmed and priced on 2 of them.

What Sofirn should do is confirm that the people ordering on Ebay/AliExpress have been sent a PM before dropping the price. But if they are working strictly manually off a list then that would be impossible to do.

I think that many are waiting for batch 2 because they want a non-black lantern. Once the 500 batch 1 lanterns sell out hopefully there won’t be a long wait to order batch 2.

I’m surprised that they let you order 5 pieces since I thought they were going to limit 1 per order.

Oh, I always buy off Sofirn in bulk so whether there’s a GB or not they still give me the best price. I often also get GB prices long after they’ve ended.

I dont know the ‘whys’ but Im getting the feeling that Sofirn might Regret taking control of this stage when Sig had the system all worked out………. maybe not…… we’ll see… :person_facepalming:

I think they’ll let anyone order and just look at the list before discounting. Not surprising if a lot on the list change their mind.

Their AliExpress page just says to message with BLF username before paying and they’ll change the price. Kind of invites anyone to place an order

I agree with Sig, I think alot of folks want to see if they have a color option.

Patience?
I ain’t got time for that.

Ordered yesterday, received a shipped notification a few hours ago.

Thanks team. :+1:

Just for the record, I just received notification that my LT1 has shipped. It still continues to show delivery by Nov 7- Dec 11th. I bet it’s here sooner than that though. It was done using the GB PMed code through Amazon.

Just curious regarding the original BLF Q8 — what kind of significant differences are there from original batch 1 compared to later batch 2 for the BLF Q8?

I’m not quite sure if my BLF Q8 is batch 1 or belongs to batch 2 (I did order quite early so it may be batch 1 — but I’d like to know what are the improvements for batch 2 and later batches)
