Group Buy:$23.99 of BLF Special Edition X6 Upgraded CREE XM-L2 U2-3C Flashlight @tmart.com

Still a darn good price…I thought original on the BG site showed $28.99 or something for non-sale price

If you missed the last go around…get one at least!

I need a body only (with they sold a host) so I can drop in that honkering quad heatsink and star w/o having to tear apart one of the other ones I got :slight_smile:

Caveat Emptor people…

If you need a body, get with RMM. He bought host that only came with the shell. No switches, orings, reflector or lens.

+1

I think eagle eye is to blame here

Takes all the meaning of a BLF Special Edition when there are now thousands of them and anyone can have them. Not a collectors item any more. That's the bad part to me. Same with the D80, which will probably follow suit.

Whatcha mean? Am I not going to be able to sell my BLF light collection in ten years and retire? That's it, there going to the grave with me. I know I have originals even if no on else does.

> We are making a good deal of BLF Special

Ah, the English, she is the language of mystery, of multiple meanings, of ambiguity, of deception.

> a good deal of

Could mean they’re making lots and lots of them,
hang on and they’ll drop in price to $9.88 by summer, or
could mean they’re now selling a good bargain price.

Got ya…if it just had BLF and not “special edition” sure…but yeah…a general run of a special edition cheapens the first release

A clone of a clone :frowning:

Hmm, how would you translate “caveat emptor” —

I’d think something like “probably looks the same on the outside, but is cheap and corners cut on the inside, hey, who’s going to know?”

It’s getting less “Special” every day. Soon everyone is going to be carrying them.

I would think that it makes it more special that everybody wants what we have. :) I remember when Kronos said 1000 units only that people wanted more.

On the flip-side...if Kronos is saying caveat emptor and Neal is saying that it is not from BG or EE...then....I would not touch it with a 10' pole. Banggood has some available and they are still a decent price for those that feel they missed the boat. Besides..we need to support those that support us. Banggood is very receptive to working with us and our ideas and making them become real.

Very good point. I missed out on the GB and was actually thinking about ordering one from T-mart. Maybe I should just stick with Banggood for the light or get the host and DIY the rest once everything gets worked out with the host packaging/missing parts issues…

I don’t think Eagle Eye has anything to do with it. The eagle eye web site has shut down and has been that way for a couple of weeks. That suggests they are no longer in business. I think the BLF special editions were clones of the X6. These maybe clones of clones, who knows.

Marc.

EE is still in business. They tried to bring their site back online because of the X6 but many complained about the lack of english. I imagine they are working on it again.

It was never a special light to me, after I threw an 18650 in it and shrugged at it’s performance it’s been sitting in my glovebox ever since.

They may still be in business but it is not necessary to take a website down to improve or translate it into another language, you simply leave the original up while working on the new version, once complete upload the changes to the server or transfer the url to the new page, it takes only minutes.

buy from this guy at your own risk… he sold fake batteries last year

Well according to eagle eye these are fakes!
