It sounds like colors are possible, but there’s no estimate of when. The anodizing contractor is wrapped up in legal issues and it seems Sofirn will either have to wait indefinitely or find another anodizing company.
So the black lanterns are available now, but colorful ones could be delayed for a long time.
Barry is working pretty hard on finding solutions, but for now it’s like an original Ford Model T — you can have it in any color you want… as long as it’s black.
If other colors are produced, Sofirn will send new coupon codes for it. The coupons for the black version won’t work for other colors.
That makes sense,
I just received my code today as well, are these codes good for 30 days only still? I really wanted to get a colored one I am unsure whether or not to buy now as well, or wait a few weeks ago and see what happens
Here’s what amazon tells me for mine. I’m pretty sure my package is at the bottom of this pile.

Package has shipped
Mine was dispatched on 3rd of December but 17track says only “This number can’t be found at this moment. It’s not available in the carrier’s system yet. Please check back later.”. No information on amazon’s side either.
The first movement of my package was on 30/11 when it left the distribution center GuangDongShengGuangZhouShi 51016508 before being sent overseas via airmail after reaching the second distribution center GuangDongShengGuangZhouShi 51040034 on 06/12. Now I’m just waiting for it to enter the Royal Mail system where it can be reliably tracked. Based on previous orders I have placed I expect it to arrive here sometime during the next week.
Sorry if it has been asked and answered already…there’s just soooo many posts to sort thru.
Just got my 2nd code today. My question…if I don’t use that code within 30 days because I prefer to wait for a colored version…do I give up the opportunity to purchase at GB price??
You should ask Sofirn. PM back to them. The production and sales is their game, I believe. And the colors could be a long time coming. Maybe black is best?
