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.
the rude button is very close to the reply button
Wow :D. Looking huge
I know of several that are out for delivery in South Texas.
Neat shots of the two joined, really cool… a cow could use one of those (eyes on the sides of the head….)
Please add me to the list for one!
I’m a longtime lurker (been on CPF since 2004!) but finally signed up here.
:laughing: LOL
Great idea. :+1:
I’m heading to the pantry right now.
Nikola, that thing is a monster!! Wow! Looks awesome in hand…… 
Words of warning will take on a new phrase… “Come out with your hands in the air! I have a GT and I’m not afraid to use it!” lol
I posted already in another thread, but the registered mail European GT’s will be shipped in January. And if you consider a shipping time of 3 weeks at least, we have to wait for a while. Luckily we can follow the joy of the US members, as the GT is something special.
Ok, the thread was reopened, lets try to keep it that way this time around.
Lets enjoy the posts of newly opened GT’s by everyone.
Another 200 are set to be shipped soon.
When europe dhl will be shipped?
anyone who was in the 500’s with cells get notification from dhl?
Goshdogit, goshdogit……. what a great post with great pictures!! Thank you…
And the oatmeal tops lens cap is PRICELESS!!
I now have the lens cap problem solved……. another thank you!!
