That green is close to some of their models, though Coleman had used several shades of green

It is the correct color for the included pic. The color picker tool was used to take a sample from the included pic of one of my Colemans.

That is only one color of the many greens Coleman have used over the years, (not just the one you posted above.

Have you seen one darker(green) ……. I havent, and I didnt see one in your arsenal.
Im just suggesting the color of the lantern in my pic or a little darker. JMO

What are the official GB prices? I thought that they were $49.99 and $62.99 (with batteries), however when I put those in at eBay as “Make Offer” with my BLF ID after following the links in posting per posting #7717, they got rejected. Did I misunderstand what I was supposed to do? I am on the list for 4 lanterns, but I only put in an offer on one without batteries and then one with batteries. I’m trying to follow through and do the correct thing to get these, but I’m not having any luck.

Any advice to help me to understand how to get lanterns will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

JDAVIS, it’s currently on hold as they come up with a better system. Please stay tuned for updates.

[jdavis]

Thanks atobe. I missed that in the thread. I was just a bit excited to see the instructions and after checking my messages and finding nothing, I went the eBay route. I’ll go back to being patient, but I was hoping that was now over.

Someone apparently did exactly what you did, BUT they weren’t the blf user they claimed to be…
SO they got an order in on someone else’s reservation, so to speak. and they bragged about it here…
So it appears they are looking for a way to counteract the alex bronsons of the world

[flashycali]

Please one more for me, with builtin USB charging even Momsie can use one too

That is correct price, but as mentioned recently due to their loophole and flawed GB system, Sofirn has suspended Ebay & AE purchases until they can fix the issue, (hopefully soon) They been sending out GB codes slowly for the Amazon store, but is taking some time. We hope they can get the problem ironed out soon for their Ebay & Aliexpress stores.

[jdavis]

Thanks folks for letting me know what is going on. I hope they get things worked out soon, but we’ll continue to be patient. Hopefully whomever it was that did this hasn’t screwed things up too badly for the rest of us who have been waiting patiently and trying to follow the rules. I’d happily go the Amazon route if they’ll send me a code. I guess that I’ll have to keep an eye on the SPAM folder to make sure that nothing inadvertently gets put there, if they decide to send e-mails and not PMs to this site. Just another thing to do for this flashlight obsession, er, I mean hobby. Thanks all. Jeff

[nonsuch]

Anybody else get a code, ask for a code for one with batteries as directed in the message and then heard absolutely nothing back?

[brno602]

Please add me for another one (total of 3). Thanks.

[patchythepirate]

Has everyone gotten their code yet? I haven’t received any message.

@jimahi

Are the lists in post 2 being updated? It currently only shows up to 2904 as of this posting, but the recent post above says we’re up to 2937? It said we must verify ourselves that we are listed correctly in the list, so just wondering if that requirement is still there… and if so, which list should we be checking? Thanks!

It gets updated on Sundays ,check back then. But Sig does a good job keeping track of adding interested/requests to be on the list.

Yeap, next updates will be this Sunday evening. Btw jimahi, I do have you in for 2 based on post #’s 8102 and 8207.

@Caleb

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

Unfortunately Sofirn decided to send out the PM’s manually so there’s no way for us (non-Sofirn people) to know where they are at or who was sent a PM. You should have gotten a PM since your numbers are low enough but there’s no way for us to check.

Sofirn has said that everyone on the list (3000 and under) will be able to get their lanterns at the group price so I’m confident that you will get a PM at some point, one way or another. Things are in a suspended state now until a more efficient and secure system is in place so until then nobody is getting a PM.

Everything will be done via PM’s since we don’t have access to anyone’s email address. Make sure you have PM’s enabled on BLF and you should also periodically check the spam folder of the email tied to your BLF account.

In for one if they are still available!
Thanks

I also requested a code for one with batteries, and have yet to hear a response back. I wanted to get the first few loaded, as I’m intending them to be gifts. Guess I should have just ordered one without to get the ball rolling. My first position on the list is 665. Not too worried though. It sounds like there’s a pretty good relationship established here with Sofirn.

@O26Rcr

In the event you’re looking to add a bit different color to the poll, DBSAR, I’d like suggest something in the realm of Flat Dark Earth. IMO, it kicks sand/gold’s butt.

Do you have any sample pic of that color?

This is about the best I can find DBSAR

Cerakote - MAGPUL® FLAT DARK EARTH

Worse comes to worse, I’ll pull a couple apart when I get them and either Cerakote or DuraCoat them myself. I just think it’s a cool color for something like this lantern. BTW, thanks for all you’ve done creating this outstanding little light!

[spinynorman]

SIGShooter and TheMiller may need to start a support group for BLF group buy coordinators.

[Not_Dave]

Hi. Please can you put me down for one more to make 2 in total. First request is #2460.

[tronx]

I’m on for one, but with Christmas around the corner, please put me down for another. Can’t wait!
