That’s true, me personally I swore a LOT more when I was a teenager than I do now
I curse like a drunken sailor. Not here of course 
AliExpress listed in English here for $45 shipped. Dang, might have to order one of these to replace my expedited shipping one from BG 
It's $43 after store discount, not bad...
I thought this was Banggood’s deal with TF. Where are they getting their stock?
My Q8 has been in LA as “Custom clearance completed” since Monday.
I think this is Bangood’s store on Aliexpress . :+1:
But 0 buys for Q8 at Ali, interesting.
And they have bulk discount for 3 sets or more…then you have almost same price as here 
Aha so Elfeland is Banggood then?
1421 pre orders on Banggood, none on AE, interesting to see what happens after the groupbuy here with their coupons
Elfeland Outdoor Lighting Store?
No shipping with Priority Direct, etc., at Ali.
They claim to have 999 in stock.
I think after I’m finished working today I might place my order with them.
Thanks Tom.
All this time, all you and the team’s hard work and this is what they serve up as thanks?
Didn’t even have the courtesy to have the BLF’ers have them in their hands for maybe a month before whoring them out to the regular mullets of the world.
Can’t say I’m shocked, but can say that I’m disappointed in BangGood.
Just another day in the China jungle it seems.
Still looking forward to getting this flashlight.
Thanks for all you do.

I do recognize that store from a few months back. They were selling the new Thorfire S70S for like $29 when it first came out. Maybe they have ties with Thorfire. I don’t think Banggood would want their sales of the Q8 to be taken by Elfeland, would they?
They have Astrolux as well, a Banggood brand
It is good, the moment we gave the GO it was out of our hands.
Since it is Banggood and AliExpress sellers can do a lot to delay I don’t see an issue here. I do see a broader exposure, with links to BLF and who knows, with 1500 tantalizing close TF might make more then the initial 2000, awesome!
Yeah, I don’t see this as a problem either. I also expected that once the initial batch went live that they would proceed with selling it through all the normal distribution channels. The only bummer is if AE really does have stock and some of us are backordered through BG. I would have hoped that all of the GB orders would be filled first but what can you do.
why do you think AE has stock?
the listing says thes sell 999 items for that price ;)
It's the wild, wild west, China version. I also don't see a problem - we got our deal. Dunno when the Ali store would ship, but thought Ali had pretty strict rules. Least it's not on dhgate yet.
Elfeland copied every single word of the BG listing, with all my suggested corrections - cool! Probably the same people or partnership somehow.
I think they will just hold up shipping til they get real stock. If Ali, for example, gives them 2-4 weeks to ship, they will stretch it for sure.
This is printed down further on the page.
Note:Now all the first batch of the BLF Q8 has been shipped out.
We will have 1500pcs for the second batch within this month.
You can just perorder it,we will ship the parcel according to the order.Shop Now!
Thanks for the instructions darrylo!
So at least one of mine has cleared customs and the FedEx label has been printed. Since FedEx isn’t super fast at getting things across the country I just wait. There’s no sense in tracking it further since it’s at least 5-7 days away.
But it’s beyond interesting to see all of the folks who want immediate gratification. It’s been 1 1/2 years so what’s a few more days? Or a month for that matter?
