Yes,it's from massdrop, on the other side of box, the tape has Massdrop printed on it.
Just feeling weird, Maratac should have thoses coppers produced in China, not sure which company. Why only MD has them on sale but not Countycomm? Does MD has the permition to sell?
ETA updated on countycomm website, now it says confirmed August 31st.
Massdrop ship date is September 24!!! 
Didn’t see that until now
I’ll have to see what my massdrop packages normally come packed with, the last couple Spydercos were bubble mailer.
I am pretty sure CountyComm is a contract manufacturer, or a middleman. A few of their items are over runs from other contracts (like Maratac watches).
I’d have to say they have permisssion to sell, because they have to contract the vendors to make arrangements for the group buy pricing.
Another long waiting.
You must log with that link but not with this: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/maratac-copper-aaa-flashlight?mode=guest_open
Not sure how great a deal this is but Massdrop has the Armytek Wizard Pro v2 Headlamp in cool white for $84.99 if they get 10 commitments and $79.99 if they get 20.
I hate how Massdrop makes you sign in so I tried antiparanoico’s trick with the guest link and hope it works.
OMG, that thing is beautiful! I’m so tempted…
Disclaimer: model not included
That seems like a pretty good price since it includes an 18650 battery and is USB in-flashlight rechargeable.
Indeed! $54 + shipping typical. A lot of similarly-priced lights don’t include the battery.
I have the same light at home and I purchased it at full retail price.
At $32.99, it’s a good buy for a quality and solid light, with free battery to boot
News: No intl shipping of knives from Massdrop for now.
The insane paranoia about firearms is spreading to knives. Eventually, it’ll probably spread to “assault flashlights” (anything over 100 lumens or with a strobe).
WTF is there even a term like that? LOL
I wouldn’t characterze it as “paranoia”.
The Int’l Laws about knife possession are hugely varied, and Massdrop likely
doesn’t want the liability.
Sounds reasonable to me.
I’m not referring to Massdrop’s decision, but to the reason they’re having to do it.
My maratac copper aaa has been shipped!! way before the original ship date 24/9.
I got my copper AAA. The finish is excellent. The tint is too cool for my taste. If you remove the clip, it will scratch the light. I hope they release the copper 16340 on massdrop too.
Does anyone know if it takes 10440?
I wouldn’t risk it:
A note from the legal department: We do not recommend the use of 10440 rechargeable batteries with this flashlight. It is designed to use a off the shelf alkaline, lithium, NiMH or Nicad AAA batteries. We do not recommend use of higher voltage batteries.
