I actually think this thread is a good idea. When ever a new order arrives for somebody, we can see what they have and their initial impressions...and from there, we can nag them for a full-out review ;) hehe.
Glad you are happy with the romisen rc-29. I recieved it about a month ago and I absolutely love it and am equally impressed with the quality and output on 14500. Especially for its size!
It is the 5 mode model. As with my other aurora (ak-p7 2 mode light), the quality is fantastic. There were no flaws in the machining, and the threads were smooth. Not as smooth as they could be, but definitely nothing to complain about! The threads for the front bezel end of the light seem to only allow for a couple of turns for attachment which doesn't strike me as sturdy enough, but heck, they are stainless steel threads. They aren't going to let go unless I am doing something very wrong with the light. Only the rear threads seem to have come lubricated (as well as the rear o-ring). The fronts dont appear to have any lubrication for whatever reason. The light tailstands perfectly. I also enjoy the glow-in-the-dark o-rings, especially around the front lens. The output is fantastic, offering more of a hotspot than my quark mini cr2, but slightly less output overall. I have not done a runtime test so I cannot comment on it yet. The hi-med-lo are nicely spaced and the strobe is nice and disorienting. SOS is useless as always.
I ordered two of these. Both came well packaged in bubble wrap, and without flaw. One found its home in my mr.lite J4, and one found its home in my trustfire tr-801 wired up to the KD 2800mah driver (wowzers its sweet). I am very pleased with them to say the least! 2 new pocket rockets in my collection now!
I bought these to use in my mr.lite J4 and mr.lite BLF special as well as any other similar styled lights. I forgot however, to order glass lens replacements for the TIR optics. DOH. Oh well, I will be ordering those soon. All 4 arrived in perfect condition. No damage to reflector fit or finish. Very happy with them and the fit into their new homes!
Wow, a brand new TK-35. I've been drooling for the TK-45 lately but the 35 would do just fine. I'd love to hear about how you like it. I'm curious, among other things, about how it feels in the hand because the design looks different.
I was curious about the feel in the hand as well. After watching just about every review on youtube about it, and every review commenting on how it actually feels great, I bit the bullet and got it. Needless to say, they were right. Its odd shape does definitely feel good to hold! its a gorgeous light! Can't wait to try it out :D
Thanks for the wishes everyone! Yes my lady loves me to death, and sometimes I spoil myself:s lol
Aleister, that palight looks great! Could you do a review on it?
I have a package waiting at the post office! Excited to see what arrives today!
What I got today was a threat to get a warrant to investigate whether I have a TV set or not - I do not and have not for the last 20 years. But that doesn't stop Capita trying to pretend they are an arm of the Government - which they are not - and attempt to bully people into paying for a TV Licence - currently around $256.
I'd dearly love them to turn up with a warrant. I'll have a judge (AKA my father) waiting to check its validity. Capita don't seem to realise that the laws in England and Scotland are different. Then we can have the charges of breach of the peace, impersonation of a law officer and harrassment. I'd enjoy that.

At least DX have shipped my strange light. Only took them about 3 weeks. Wonder how long it'll take China Post to deliver it? At least it has appeared in the tracking system within 18 hours of DX saying it was shipped which is a lot better than HK Post usually manage.
was a good day for me..got my manafont order in.. uf-980l , ultrafire 504b and 2 18650 cells..also got 2 2800mah drivers from kd..not flashlight related but also got a new bench press..it's like christmas for me!
I received my 604 and 605 from EDC Depot yesterday. And today I got a parcel notification so I'm hoping it is the two L2Ps I ordered from Solarforce-sales some weeks ago!

I would love i could not have to pay the TV licence which is a steal here at about 150€ or more a year. I rarely watch tv, but when i do it's mostly one of the discoveries, national geographic or DaVinci Learning. Our national TV is so unwatchable that i find it a crime, a capital offense punishable by heavy beating and prison time (with soap involved) just for the indecency to have us pay for that very mildly and politely decribed excrement of programme. Oh god (even being an atheist") i wish i could drown them all in a spoon full of water!

Ontopic!
A ton of stuff coming but nothing arrived yet. Many things worthy of a review, a DIY article. :/
I'ts manadatory to pay it if you pay electricity bills. If for unknown reasons you don't own a tv and radio device capable of picking FM signals you must go through a ton of paperwork and a inspector visit to be able to not pay the radio/tv tax. A ton of hassles really,
Owning just a Mp3 player with radio FM capabilities (or a alarm clock with radio) makes you "certified" for that robbery. In Scotland it seems the cost id substantially higher than in Slovenia. But still alot cheaper if you consider the wages/cost of living ratio.
Enough of that...
... postman came a hour ago and went away without handing me not even a single package considering i have a few on the way that could already be here.
Budgeteer, we have a better system here... They bill us for national TV inside electricity supply bills...
So, anyone who says "I don't watch TV", including me, have to pay it no matter what, or they will cut our electricity supply... I am proposing to shoot us instead...
