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.

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

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.

ToyKeeper:
If I understand correctly, batch 2 has slightly newer firmware and an updated manual. There will probably also be green and sand colors at some point. I’m not sure if anything else is expected to change.
The Q8 had significant improvements between batch 1 and batch 2, but the LT1 seems unlikely to work that way since Sofirn now has years of experience with this type of design. My LT1 prototype is a production-quality item, and things have only gotten better since then.
I’ll probably wait to order, but not because I’m concerned about quality. It’s just because I already have one and I want someone else to be able to get theirs sooner
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)

I don’t remember all the details, but at minimum the screws were replaced with something harder than butter, and the switch PCB was rebuilt to stop it from dying. I think there were other things too, but I never actually got a batch 1 Q8 and wasn’t involved in the project, so I didn’t really have to pay much attention.
FWIW, I’m #398 on the interest list and I just got the PM with a coupon code. In case anyone is wondering about progress on those.

That’s very helpful- I scrapped in at 483 so it looks like I’ll have to wait a few more days.

Looks like they cranked out a bunch of codes late “our time” yesterday as I got mine at #280 .
I´m #215 on the list and haven´t got a code, yet. But I´m not in a rush and hope I get a code someday. If not I´ll bring it up again :)

As part of the team back then, I never got a free Q8 either, but I did get a prototype to test and that was way more fun than getting a finished light

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.
Sorry yeah my bad, never knew you could change the offer period. Made a new offer with 2 day period, no bites on day 1. Yes I put the exact amount as listed in post #1 .
