[PART 1] Official BLF GT Group Buy thread. Group buy officially closed! Lights shipping.

1, not sure if the big payment is going to be asked before we receive samples, I am sure the $14 s way before that.
2 again, if taxes are due, taxes are due. The $14 is not or tax evasion but as down payment

Check around 715 on the core list :wink:
updated it this morning

Please drop me from this list… Life got in the way :frowning: … I’m #201

@Themiller: which list that matters? i assumed Mr.Scott’s list? because i am either #535(Mr.Scott’s) or #614

OP list is core.
Mr Scott sorts it and gives us the order for the 555 at $111 then the $150.
I hadn’t updated the core list for 11 pages and did it this morning. At some point Mr Scott does another round of sorting (some people have asked to be removed so all move up a bit this time)

So i can assumed that i am on the First batch :smiley: . thanks The Miller.

Where is the updated list?

Speaking about customs, I’m actually a bit worried about the weight and size of this beautiful beast causing issues with custom rules in some countries. Any estimates on the box dimensions and total shipping weight? Thanks!

Hello sb
I will ask the lumintop about the box and weight

Great, thanks Neal!

So the updated list is not the sorted out one. That’s done by Mr. Scott?

yes Mr.Scott runs the core list through his sorting programm

Is the advance payable to everyone or only the first 555?

@The Miller

Is it possible to update the core list with blanks to see how many dropped out?

This gives a nice indication on where everyone is in the list.

The shorter,the better… :wink:

I wondering what kind of box will the put the light in? Lumintop’s usual brown box or something different altogether?

I am so happy that you are satisfied with what the government does with your tax money. I think the nearly punitive and extortive ways that import taxes are levied is unfair and that is why many of these folks are worried. I live in the US and don’t have the same issue as others.
I do, however, know for a fact that I am way more efficient than any government could ever be with my hard earned money. In that same vein I do absolutely everything I possibly can legally to ensure that they don’t a single penny more than necessary from me. Perhaps the Canary Islands local government has the best taxes to benefit gained by the populace, I just don’t know. I am glad you are happy to patriotically pay as much in taxes as you can, however I don’t think you should judge other members without walking in their shoes.
Now then: BACK TO THIS BEAST

Can a hard shell case with sponge cutouts be a possibility for this light ? (Like the olight M2X-UT or M3X)

Safety for the light during transit (as its heavy, needs more protection i guess)and carrying it will become easier with a case.

I know it’s a far fetched idea, can be sold at an extra cost or separately as an accessory like the idea of a short tube.

Just my 2 cents.

Would be awesome for sure!
Hard case 20
GT + set orings and lens 250
Short tube 10
8 cells 48
2x lii500 charger 50
$378 / ~$400 excluded shipping seems an OK (but expensive nevertheless :wink: ) price to ask for such set.
Not that it will be a groupbuy thing but I can see LT do it.

Or get a pelican case for like $100 :slight_smile:
