These are the same batteries in the groupbuy with the GT for $40.50

@cheffernan

What batteries will be in the group buy and for how much? I’m not in the original buy, I’m ~#1200. I was thinking about buying 8 Samsung 35e batteries while I wait for my pm probably in January. Am I better off waiting?

Here is the link from post #1.

GROUPBUY: 8pcs Samsung 35E BUTTON TOP for the BLF GT

Hello my friends! the BLF GT is near! Who needs a set of 8 matching button top cells to power that beast? the manufacturer of keeppower cells does the OEM job for us and adds the button tops to 4000 Samsung 35E cells: [image] [image] (not the cheapest option - but we decided to go quality first on those sets) UPDATE: It seems we can offer the cells just beside the GT without confusing codes or such please be fair and DO NOT add them if you have not entered your mail in the list…

As far as waiting? IDK. You could get them now as they might run out by January. I think Neal got 500 “sets” of them which should be plenty, but you never know.

It seems this special price on 35E cells is only for those who are buying the GT at the present moment. If you are in the 555 to 1000 group you have to wait until you order the light to pay for the batteries. You can still sign up for the cells now, though.

I got my cells (30Q) over a month ago. They just sit here waiting. Lol

Hello

Order done

Does Neal is the same from Emisar ?

Hmmm, the Emisar lights are from Outdoor International Store and the owner of that is named Hank.

Neal Zhangh, or just “Neal”, used to work at Banggood (back when this project started) and has since left there. He has worked with BLF forum for many years always giving us good deals.

I don’t recall a connection with him to the Emisar lights.

well
i ordered my D4 from Neal shop at M4DM4X
That’s why i was asking if this is the same Neal ?!

Oh, I didn’t know they were selling them. Yeah, that’s the same Neal.

I don’t think Neal has any connection to Emisar other than just selling them, though. I think Hank designed them and Tom E (helped by ToyKeeper) wrote the firmware.

Ordered GT and 3500 (registered mail)

[Icarus]

GT ordered (registered mail), donation for the team, email replied to Neal with BLF user name and tel number. Big thanks to all team members!

@M4D M4X

Actually, I didn’t know about it. I’ll check it out now, though.

So did you provide the website for this group buy purchase?

Does Neal have a name for his new company? Nealbest? Trying to put his old company out of business? Lol

[Aslan]

Set of 35e is available only to those who pre-ordered it? Or can I buy this set by simply paying $ 40.5 without pre-order?

[MCT]

1. Payment sent for GT
2. Payment sent for 8 batteries
3. Donation sent with gratitude for incredible team

When GT arrives…….priceless!

It was discussed some time ago that the option with 2 packages (china post) will have both packages declared as 14$ goods (the amount first paypal payment was) , do we know about DHL too ?

Interested about if 14$ for DHL is there before I pay the price.

[Wedgetarian]

Hello, I’m new here, and added my name to The List about 5 weeks ago. I didn’t get a PM, so I am trying to find out how to order and pay for one of these beasts. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thank you…!!!

Yes, if you got the payment PM then you can order the 35E cells.

The registered mail will be listed as $14.96 to match the downpayment cost. The DHL value is still TBD.

[cheffernan]

You’ll get a pm when the second batch gets produced. Probably January.

[Wedgetarian]

Oh - okay thanks. I’ll try to hang on until then!

Cheers!

[BeardedRaleigh]

So I guess I can say now that I was the VERY FIRST payment of the BLF GT “the test payment” pretty exited about it! cant wait to get this bad boy and make some shadows!!!

Try this

@M4D M4X

for all people who want to let us know the value that should be declared on the parcels:

please take the BLF GT customs declaration survey

[chrisc]

I showed a neighbour a video of the GT and he agreed with the name. His reaction at 65yrs old was to let out a child like giggle.

I hope this arrives in time for Christmas

Oh, now I see this particular deal is only for the 555 folks who have preordered the GT. Then the next group, then the next group.

I thought it was open to everyone right now.
