now That`s something I would probably get behind!
I like the idea
Also like the idea of a raffle type thing , few flashlight guys do this on Facebook
Example 150 doller flashlight
10 people at 15 dollers a piece , winner gets the flashlight
Jccustoms does this and Iâve won a few times
Loverly titanium/copper fw3 with amber secondaryâs
Katherine Alicia - cool i would too, would be fun and useful. potentilly inspire modding, new designs, etc.
I voted no... like many have previously posted, I don't think it would work well for this type of community. If you're a member of a flashlight forum, my bet is you have a particular taste in what you like in a light. Most of these types of surprise subscription box things just end up being random junk, might be good for a "muggle" but not for most people here... just my humble opinion.
no
i have enough trouble âlikingâ all the lights i thought would be ideal but my pickiness ruled them all out
which is about 90% of them - fail to make it
i can;t imagine that i would like any lights that i didn;t intentionally want
plus now i have so many ââsecond classââ lights that are all over the houseâthe ones that didn;t make EDC status
they are good enough for now and then, but not 50 times a day

Itâs all about the audience⌠AND Iâd agree most here would be put off by a monthly âpitchâ UNLESS it was PURELY informative (as in not trying to make a buck)
I want to bypass the middleman with BLF⌠and get the skinny on what cool deals are HERE today (and often enoughâ gone tomorrow).
So, we already have that here (ok, sad some of us have nothing ELSE to do but scrounge BLF for deals)
But it is what it is⌠and I think Iâd end up deleting a monthly email because itâs from some seller OR an honest BLFâer whoâs trying to help up outâ but a day late and a dollar short.
BLFâers are market mavens who (often) already know about deals and the latest thing (which can be brought to our attention by MANY users AND is!). And thus, we already would KNOW what was in any given email- so moot to us and often would be âold newsâ
My random thoughts anyway
Another monthly bill for stuff that I may or may not like, want, or need?
Pass.
plus isn;t grab bag stuff usually âthe stuff we have a back room full of â?
because it didn;t sell?
where would the products come from?
i just don;t see it as viable

I donât consider myself a modder. A re/de-lego-er at the best, with an OCD for fine-tuning. But my spare parts are looking more and more alike. I fear that these surprise boxes are filled with stuff that need replacement parts, Leaving me with even more of the same stuff, like PCBâs with XM-L2 leds. So thanks, but no thanks.
I already have shelves filled with lights from an age between top-of-the-bill and golden oldies.
This idea is a great marketing move from the large overseas shippers, all their surprise bags and gimmick items are filled with stuff that were returns and/or didnât sell before. flashlights are also in them. If anyone on here bought one of those surprise bags from BG - how was the experience?
ok i amend my answer
yes if i could get any non-broken light - for under $1
so $10 a month would need to be at least 10 lights
preferably 20
and excluding anything that runs on 3 AAA cells with 9 terrible LEDs
