I think it is still relevant, as long as it is not perceived as a guanateed serial number and instead only a “position in the list (which might, however unlikely, transpire into the serial number)”.
Krono said ‘We will do our best to make it happen’, so until we discover that there will be absolutely no chance of preferred serial number positions, or are told they have absolutely no bearing from list numbering, I have agreed to keep track of requests and approvals for Krono to update is master list without too much overhead or littering posts.
From a personal opinion, I totally empathise with both perspectives; some people are interested in their position and numbering for any given/bizarre/weird/petty/superstitious reasons (which is up to them). Whilst others will not care about such minor things, or even understand the rationale. I myself am not superstitious or attribute any illogical meaning to numbers, but I do agree and understand that some numbers will be more meaningful or resonate more with a particular person (ie. Birthdays, Anniversaries, Wedding dates, ages, house numbers, etc). It makes sense that these numbers will just mean more to some people because of their attributions.
If people want to express preference and it opens friendly discussions, PMs, chats, etc between like-minded BLF fans, then I’m only too happy to help keep track of it. It is also just another reason to keep interest in the GB high (as if the amazing lights by themselves weren’t enough!! haha).
These will be widely sought after after all is said and done, though knowing you, you are probably just planning on just giving them away for Christmas:-)
I had thought of that - but really shivered at the thought of breaking up a serial-matched set! I’ll just keep the SS-CU set and giveaway the AL sets as gifts to couples. That way it’s a truly matched set (same material), I get to count it as two gifts, yet they are not really separated!
Interest list is almost even for SS/Cu vs. Al. Closing in at quantities of 100 of each. We will obviously hit the minimums for the Al version!
The SS/Cu is almost half the way there…and without even a sample yet! I don’t think we will have any problems hitting minimums, with positive results from the samples, of course.
Manker and samples: I wanted to let everybody know that samples are being assembled as we speak! Manker has been chosen to help design and produce the X6-SE v2. We chose Manker because of a strong combination of their technical expertise, design and quick turn-around times.
As far as a time estimate, I would say that we are 2-4 weeks out for completion of initial samples. This is blazing fast, especially when we are talking about completely new host materials (SS/Cu) :exmark:
Once we have samples in our hands, we will know much more about specs and implementation of our ideas.
Thanks for confirming; updated the table. Unfortunately mattlward couldn’t change to pos.18 or 19, so is still at pos.29 for the moment.
Nice number - I am guessing this is a ’Back To The Future’ reference?! One of my all-time favourite trilogies ever! Looks like Krono decided to kindly forward-fill you to pos.88 already so I will just record it in the table for reference.
As this was done for xelario (pos.88 above), it could probably have been done for Nguyen’s request for pos.81 too, as that was also empty at the time. It’s fair for him to swap with tizzo as his request for 81 was first and would have been in that spot before tizzo was added.
Sounds great Krono, exactly why I got on board. There are some great minds involved in this. Let’s hope it will stay as a limited edition. 200 sets worldwide
