im not so sure they are going to make late fixes or changes depending on the review to be honest. and i am also not sure they really are positive of the dimensions and specs. but either way i am in for one unless the GB falls through
the plan was to offer _the_ to pay his $33 as agreed by the group buy, and for the review they upgrade for free to DHL. not sure if they will agree or not
it is what it is but I still find this request from them a bit silly, since laser engraving is one of the last if not the last phase of manufacturing only thing after that is final quality control (if there is any) and packaging, they could just skip engraving step, light without any inscription is better then light with inscription that I don’t understand.
But, as I said, it is what it is, can’t force them, one day they will realise/learn by themselves…
like i have said before, im pretty sure we are getting the very first run of this model. no retailers have gotten it yet. they said they had just completed the first of them last month and they are just now getting ready to market it. i just happened to find it right when they first posted it up i guess
Sorry for coming late into the party. Anyway, the way I understand it is for the group to buy the $33 light, have it delivered to the for review, know its innards before the whole group plunge into this GB?
If I understand it correctly to be so, (and befor anything else, let it be known that I have no idea about modding), I am volunteering to buy the light from Supfire for $33, then have it addressed to the for review. If the more experienced modders among us here will also volunteer to mod this light for free, then hopefully in the end I get a souped-up M6, the modder/taker gets to experiment with this light, (I can help defray the costs) everyone gets to know this light before taking the plunge, I take as much risk as buying an SRK clone of a clone. If this is fair enough please let me know. If not then I apologize for disturbing the peace!
if the can get it DHL then that only means roughly a one week wait delay and thats not a big deal. in one week they arent going to make a 2nd generation or have knock off knock offs………
you can explain to them this is a good thing since it will allow more time for members to join the GB and once the has done his great review people will see how “great” the light is so this will attract more members to join as well. win-win for them. i say “great” since its a pitch to them and you dont want to talk about the slight chance it could be crap.
well first off why would you care since your part of this GB. even if they do raise the price for people outside the GB, which im 100% sure once this GB is over, why would you care since you are getting one as part of the GB=GB price. thats what a GB is, we get lower prices since we get a bunch of people to buy at once.
I meant before we actually pull the trigger while we wait for the review. If the review is stellar, a lot more members will want to get in on the group buy. Dont want others who are on the fence to miss out on the price.
Well I’m on the fence with regards to waiting for the review. Who knows what might happen in the minds of supfire in the next 2 weeks or so. Just tryin to cover all bases.
