BLF Lantern Purchase/Followup Information - Group Buy list is Closed!!!!

This is great news for everyone :slight_smile:

Hi,
here is the single-use code: * for LT1 lantern ONLY, please go to amazon.de, search “BLF LT1”, choose “LT1 ohne Akku” and purchase with the code.
If you prefer “LT1 mit Akku”, please let me know.
Any questions, please just ask.
Sofirn

first question: i go to amazon .de and i find nothing useful on “blf lt1”

second: i have no amazon accound i wanne buy from Ebay , maybe fasttech or banggood.

We have to wait. There has been a hiccup. Sofrin is working out how they will be handling eBay and AliExpress purchases for the group buy. With Amazon that should be enough choices of vendors… places like GB, FT, etc would want their cut so don’t hold your breath expecting that. GB’s in the past hae all been through one seller AFAIK. Things became more complicated when they decided to do use eBay and AE as well as their Anazon store for payments.

I bought mine from Amazon. Now the Amazon page does not list the lantern as avauilable. Patience is required.

Yeap, in order to make things more efficient, not to mention eliminating non-members from buying LTs at the group price by stealing someone’s slot, Sofirn has suspended all lantern purchases at all sites. The process for buying a lantern for the next batch has yet to be decided but there will be an announcement when things are finalized.

Are we going to need to reach out to someone if we’re inside the 3000 threshold?

it will likely get filled up as they build their batches, especially the colored ones. :smiley:

We don’t know yet, but there will be an announcement:

Better be cautious talking about ‘the colored ones,’ or you might get labeled a racist. :laughing:

I am in for 2, early on numbers and no notification yet. Really want one!

I am numbers 219, 220, 221 on the original interest list. Should I have received a PM with code yet?

I am just behind you at 254 and received the PM a few days ago.

I only see you in for one when I searched for your name in my database and also by blf name in the main thread. The only post you made there is this post

I vaguely remember a third related thread last week about the lt1 orders…maybe the add request was made in there?

Regardless… no code tet.

Your are 820 in the list and so would not have gotten a PM for batch 1. Since Sofirn has suspended purchasing at the moment I think that it’s unlikely that any PM’s are going out at the moment. The only one who can say for sure is Sofrin (haven’t said anything to us either way).

Question… I have a code but when I search Amazon, no results for BLF LT1. Is there another way to purchase?

It looks like Sofirn suspended the lantern sake on Amazon at this time as well, i am guessing until they a better GB plan set up.

I’m surprised you can’t find it on Amazon. I just did a fast search and both the Lantern no batteries and Lantern with batteries show up.

Note that both are currently unavailable for purchase.

We should be equally upset with the longtime BLF member who put his friend Alex up to it and gave him specific instructions on how to game the system. I would imagine Alex isn’t the only friend he helped abuse the GB.

I bet Alex did not even buy a Lantern, his story was pure for getting attention. And he got served well.
