Good deal - TrustFire TF-R2

Bought it 5 min. ago. I paid $32.81 for it. That price is with registered post which cost $3.33 extra.
Actual cost with free ship is $29.48.
I never heard of this company before but transaction seemed to go smoothly using paypal.
We’ll see.
Good luck.

Did you buy it from sobuying.com? If so, can you post back if you get one? I’m planning to do the same. My tracking # is still not working, but they responded earlier this week that they’re going to check why not. They also said it “definitely” shipped…

I bought mine from hey-deals.com.
Immediately got an email from hey-deals.com confirming my order.
I think I should have used focalprice, at least they have a little bit of a rep around various forums.
I’ll post back when I get my light.

Darn. That was a lot better deal than the one from sobuying.com, plus no Paypal weirdness :(.

BTW, I kind of hate bugging you all, but if you have a chance, can you try putting a product suggestion at FastTech, and maybe cite my suggestion ticket # (Q0430SQFVS)? I’ve asked them to leave the ticket open and let me know if they can get these.

i put in a product request with FT!

i’m getting into a vicious cycle with them…. i slowly add to my cart… build up… build up… build up…. order… as soon as the order goes through… repeat… ack!!

:slight_smile:

tolight,

Thanks. Let’s hope that enough people put in requests, and if these lights are actually still available, FastTech will come through. If anyone can, I think that it’s them, but we just have to somehow let them know that this is a product that would be desireable.

I’m curious to see what you guys get. If they are in stock, and the current versions are as good as the old ones, I might pick one up.

Hi,

Yes. My worst fear going into this is that I’ll get something, but that it’s not a TF-R2, but some other light. I guess I/we won’t know until we actually get it, so the waiting is a real pain. When tolight posted that he got his from hey-deals.com, I checked it out, and was “that close” to pulling the trigger for one with the DHL shipping, which was like $20+, just to get this over with (but sanity took hold, and I didn’t :)…).

Hi,

I was waiting to hear back from sobuying.com, and they finally responded today.

They said that the light got returned to them by China Post :(.

The reason that it was returned was that they had thrown an extra battery into the shipment because of a mixup earlier!!

Do you believe that?

Anyway, they asked if they should reship via HK Post, and I told them to please do so, but also asked if there was any possiblity that they could use some faster form of shipping.

We’ll see what they say…

Later,
Jim

Hi,

I think that FastTech may actually be listening to the request(s) and looking into this. They posted a message on the ticket I opened, and while they didn’t say whether or not they could get these, they said they’d let me know “*when *we get the flashlight here”.

Then again, it just might be wishful thinking on my part :(…

Jim

Why’d you say you should have used focalprice? Do they have it in stock?

Edit: It looks like they have the “T*R*-R2”:

someone (was it wilbur) said that this was a typo and it should be “T*F*-R2”… I don’t know.

Jim

Ohaya - As of 2 days ago focalprice showed that it was in stock. It’s listed as TR-R2 but it looks like the same light as the TF-R2.
I think that was just a typo.
The reason I said I should have gotten it from focalprice is because I have heard & read forum posts about people buying from them and being pretty happy with those purchases.
I ordered from Hey-Deals whom I have never heard of. I just found them by doing a google search for the TF-R2.
I would have felt safer dealing with focalprice.
Hope you are able to get your light at a good price.

Hi,

It looks like FastTech may be carrying them by the time either of us get them from anywhere else :)…

Went to Hey-deals site and it shows my light shipped today. Good news but I don’t know how long it will take to get here.
Doesn’t say where it shipped from.
If Fasttech gets these I’ll be kicking myself for not waiting to buy from them.
Just received an order from them last week.
Ship time was 9 days to my door.
Longest time was from San Francisco to Az.
Go figure.

I didn’t want to wait for FastTech, so I also ordered a 2nd one from hey-deals.com, like you did, but mine hasn’t shipped. The one from sobuying.com apparently got returned to them, so who knows when I’ll get that one. When I opened the suggestion ticket at FastTech, I also suggested that they offer the TF-R2 as a host. I think that would be really neat option, as I guess that there are a lot of more choices for emitters and drivers now than there were 2 years ago.

Fasttech now carries the TF-R2. $24.24 shipped.

yup… ordered… brutal… couldn’t even try to say no… was already reading the pp confirmation before my senses actually kicked in… (sigh)…

Ordered. I am so weak. lol

Not sure what pill I am going to go with yet. Maybe XPG2? Anyone know of a good one off hand?

Actually, that’s a good question :(… I’ve been so focused on how to get any P60 into it, I hadn’t thought about what would work well :(…

Nice catch :(!

Some of you have been around BLF for awhile, was there any “history” with people trying different drop-ins with this light?

not that i remember, pretty much just xml swaps from what i remember
