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.
I am unaware, and not been told of any other member who “put Alex up” to his scamming the GB system as or yet.
Well, that would be one Racoon City (per Alex).
Why don’t we just stop when everything Alex has said can not necessarily be believed.
I received a PM, but searching Amazon as directed doesn’t bring up any LT1’s.
Did they sell out, and I need to wait for the next batch?
so now it’s ‘whistleblower’ Alex, or is it ‘deep throat’ Alex? or all3 the same?
I received apparently the same PM (now gone), butt I declined to pass it on as you did.
Yeah, let’s please drop the extraneous topics and not give any bad actor more attention.
Nope, not me.
I don't even know the bad actor.
It's very strange that he would blame me.
Like almost all BLF members, I believe that scamming the GB system is very wrong.
(Sorry, sb, but I felt like I needed to clear my name.)
I’m sure Raccoon City is to blame for many things. 
Just not this Alex debacle.
Here is the listing (for batteries included) but it is currently marked as unavailable. I think Sofirn is trying to work out a new system for handling the group buy.

As noted in post 2 Sofirn confirmed that the interest list is to closed at 3,000. After that number is reached I will not be adding any more people. However they said that anyone wanting a lantern at the group price can PM them so I assume that the price will still be available for some amount of time.
I was 750 or thereabouts on list and did not receive PM or anything regarding this. Guess I have missed out for now ?
The first batch was for 500 people I think and even that isn’t finished being handed out. We just have to be patient.
Ok will keep holding out, been a long wait !
#506 on the list, got my code for amazon.de the 15th and orderd an hour after.
package was handed over to the postal service the 16th and amazon’s estimate is that it will be delivered between the 4th and 27th of november.
i noticed that some spots on the interested list aren’t filled 318/148, 446, 502/503 so it looks like #534 is actualy #500 in order
Unbelievable how some people can ruin the experience for everyone. All 3 my lanterns numbers are under 1000 and I haven’t received a message yet…. I’ll just be patient then.
