It will be interesting to see who is first to get theirs & post. 
They already have on other posts. Locking this thread does not stop a true flashaholic! Lol.
I’m out of here till later.
I guess that honor goes to srwaite……… 
Edit…. On this thread anyway, as Jason mentioned.
Somebody just gave me a rude mark, and I haven’t even made a post today except one link for batteries!
This is outrageous :person_facepalming:
Great news that people already receiving their GTs, at least now I can enjoy holidays with my family knowing that rest of the world will get their lights in January.
Hey…… PLEASE DO NOT START AGAIN… JUST SUCK IT UP & DON’T POST COMMENTS LIKE THAT…… PLEASE…… 
Got mine this morning at 9:34 but I’m not home had the landlord put it inside my apt for me…
Hi it’s me your landlord, What apartment # are you again :smiling_imp:
No worries BLF old school here 
I posted most of this in another GT thread a few hours ago, but it’s worth repeating.
My GT arrived 15 minutes ago! It’s bigger than I expected! :partying_face:
Use a short-bladed knife (or none) if you want to avoid cutting into the interior BLF GT box. It is a tight fit inside the outer carton.
Some quick comments:
The packaging is nice. The lens had a protective plastic film on it. My reflector is flawless and clean. The threads are super smooth. The lanyard attachment was already installed in the tripod hole. :partying_face:
FWIW, I signed up for email notification with DHL. At 09:15 I got an email that said “delivered, signed for.” I opened the front door and the box was on the porch. I never heard the doorbell or even the DHL truck.
My friend’s GT also arrived today. He stopped by and I couldn’t resist taking a few more photos.
The GT-Dumbbell weighs 7 lb 13 oz (3.54 kilos) loaded with 8 cells.
Yes, we turned both heads on. :partying_face: I cut a circle from an expired credit card to keep the two carriers insulated from each other.
I discovered a budget-friendly GT cap in the pantry. Walmart’s ‘Great Value’ brand quick oats, 42 oz size.
It’s a perfect fit, and even creates an air bubble between the cap and lens if you don’t ‘burp’ it.
I’ll adhere a circle of soft cloth inside it to further protect the lens from contact with the cap.
“Congratulations!” and “Thank You!” to GT-Team, Lumintop, and Neal! :+1:
I just got a call from DHL and I won’t see mine until Tuesday. Well, actually my brother will get the first one. I really have no foreseen use for the light. I’ll see what the light is when I have his in hand.
My GT showed up about 20 minutes ago. Unboxed and loaded with 30Qs. Everything is perfect. Can’t wait till dark.
