The first offer is from him, perhaps sales promotion… :money_mouth_face: 80GBP = 111.95 $ …
Today I finally received my package containing my GT (registered without batteries, delivered by DHL) in Germany.
I paid for it on Dec 3th, so this baby took 11 weeks (79 days) to get to me.
Because the package said it was sent by an address in Germany, I had no VAT to pay.
Now to the GT: This thing is a big, hefty and very impressive monster and definitely worth the waiting.
The LED on mine is spot on, and the anodizing has no imperfections. It seems the reflector is V2 (only slight lines if you explicitly look for it from the right angle).
The switch LED is only visible in the dark, but that is what it´s meant for, right? ;)
Here it is with its little Brother the Utorch UT02. And even on the mirror finish of the UT02, you can see machining marks if you look at it from the right angle.

Huge thanks to Texas_Ace and the whole BLF team including Neal and Lumintop. You all did a great job. Hopefully, we also will hear back from TheMiller anytime soon.
Maybe not so “quite a lot” as you or I would think at first glance. First, he will want to include the PP-dues in the selling price. Second, the exchange rate of the USD vs. the EURO is about 3.5% worse than when he bought it. The same amount in USD will give him less EURO.
GT arrived safe and sound here in the UK via registered mail. As with other UK members this week, no extra charges, appears to be sent via parcel force 48hr service. Don’t know how the postal service they used works but I’m not complaining.
One box, very good packaging.
It’s big, it’s lovely. Reflector looks very good to me. Can’t wait to try it out.
Big thanks to Lumintop, team giggles and Texas Ace for all your hard work.
To everyone waiting, hang in there. It’s worth the wait.
Just a quick video,how Giga thrower is superior to anything normal!! 
Why not just answer the question or don’t. The commentary seems rude and unnecessary.
I got mine! It was totally unexpected because I’m one of the last from the first group and I never got a tracking number.
This thing is just insane! Big thanks to the team!

It also seems that, no matter how bad the packing materials look they did indeed do their job and protected an awesome flashlight long enough to make it to your hands. Let’s all stay calm until flashlights are actually damaged in transit.
Did you got a email when you filled in the form?
Or did you just not check?
I too received my light.
so there is hope, even if the list Martin was given said your light hasn’t shipped yet. Because that was the case for me
it’s a beautiful monster!
Today I recieved a dammaged carton box :person_facepalming:
Hooray, it was the GT head.
Lucky for me there was nog visual dammage.
Hope for the delivering tomorrow for the body and batteries (never recieved a trackingnumber)
Shame on you who did this :weary:
luckily the GT seems to proof it’s toughness
I can confirm this very much, the GT's head is truly a BEAST! :D
It looks like the Lumintop box drop tester did some overtime just before CNY. Great company, how they take their job seriously :)
Afterwards I am happy I chose the €50 DHL box, it’s so nice and protective, worth every penny.
Looks like my GT is in the Netherlands. Called with PostNL and they gave me two trackingnumbers. I got a mail(after i filled in the form) that my light was not shipped.
Seems like the list got some flaws. Lumintop sure want to keep you on the edge of your chair, while on a cliff.
WTF!? Why it’s unbroken?
What is with the droptests, we wanted to get? I only saw a video of droptest with the DHL-Package.
I am lucky because I got my gt in germany with registered shipping in the big “DHL-Package” and not with two packages.
I guess it was rush hours at Lumintop just before CNY holidays. Texas Ace told them there is no holiday if the GT’s are not shipped. So they threw them into the boxes, put some tracking info on a list and jumped into the main holidays of the Chinese continent. I must say, TA pulled the right strings at Lumintop. Now let’s hope all GT’s arrive in good order. I see no problems there, the GT is build like it has to survive a nuclear strike.
I am a European citizen and in these shameful "parcels" I see a profound lack of respect for the UE members of the BLF. Why treat us like this? Maybe our money is not as good as US dollars? Who made that hell of packages? How can you close the head of a torch like the GT in a box without any protection around it that prevents the head from dancing in the box for the whole trip? It is an indifference that surpasses every imagination and that blatantly offends UE recipients. If they do this they know they can do it. Probably they do not perceive the presence of an authoritative representation of the BLF in defense of the European members. I can not find other explanations.
Its the registered shipping, not the destination.
