2 second search on the interwebs.
Maybe $80 would exceed what some people preordering the light are willing to spend. For me, it would be a dealbraker.

I agree. $80 is more than the cost of a standard FW3A and Lume1 driver with aux board separately. For some people (possibly including me) might be worth the extra $5 to avoid soldering the tiny wires for the aux board, but I just couldn’t justify 80 USD (105 AUD) just to get another FW3A in a nice colour.
Fair enough, but my point is that if Lumintop is manufacturing FW3X and colored body tubes at the same time, it doesn’t seem that hard to offer the option. I’m not saying to replace this group buy with the more expensive FW3Xs, just make it an additional thing.
Lots of activity and new products from Lumintop while we wait. A bunny, anyone?
Well, I was on hook with the purple FW3A but somehow not sure the quality would meet my expectations. So, I’ll use the silence here as excuse to refrain from my preorder.
Thanks anyway.
It took you this long?
Yep, but it’s never too late to do the right thing.
Haha. Tell that to Neal Zhang.
Is there any new information from Lumintop or Neal regarding this new batch? It’s been nearly three months and it doesn’t seem like much progress has been made. Has Lumintop confirmed that they are definitely gonna make new coloured batches of the FW3A? I’d love to get a purple FW3A but it’s seeming like that’s not going to happen.
I am pretty positive this was (un)officially cancelled. Martin is (from what i hear) out of the flashlight game atm, and Neal has not responded to the requests i believe. I think this closed within the same month of the FW3x and the Fwaa GB opening and this GB unfortunately got pushed to the back burner.
Oh really? Damn that sucks. I was hoping to get a TK FW3A.
yea i know, me too, and the raw version too.. I could be wrong, but i feel like i remember someone mentioning the status was over. Maybe someone else can chime in? But, i am sure most people here (like myself) have already written this GB off as to not get their hopes up.
What happened? 
Edit: Shall we ask Hank for a purple KR4 with TK’s logo? It’s the better light anyway :smiling_imp: .
There will be a FW3A model next week.
Ohhh exciting! Fingers crossed it’s the coloured FW3A!
Whoa!! Freeme coming out of the woodwork and swinging HARD for the fences! yea buddy, thats whats up!
um yes, yes we should. That is a great idea!
I did.
We all should pestering him :smiling_imp:
I mean, you did wait a week since the last post. I'd say your doing better than me. Lol
Neal now apparently has purple and raw FW3As in stock.
