I was chatting with a new vendor contact and he mentioned having just returned from a trip to China. He is the Canadian distributor for SkyRC and he was helping me a get a price on the NC2500 charger - sadly it is too expensive to bring in - but he is also a flashoholic with a personal collection of over 200 lights. He tipped me off to the Shenzhen market and their amazing prices.
Anyone in the BLF community local? That could be one heck of a GB! The link is to a Google image search of the market.
