I have also bought several hundred dollars in batteries (AWs :thumbsup:), a bunch of Pelican cases, and a couple of display cases. I probably forgot some stuff but Im sure my wife will let me know! I have sold or traded some of these lights and have more incoming. The sad thing is, I still dont have my Grail Light :(

Fantastic collection,Todd but I do see a few holes; what a collection is all about, really, is an over view of the development of, in this case, Flashlights.

I would like to see you include 'lights that are representative of how todays' lights evolved i.e. early Surefires (round bodies, different colors, the rare and unusual) Novatac, HDS, Malkoff etc. Of course all in fine condition to complement your sensational collection of high - end 'lights.

Just my $0.02 worth.

Wow. I am indeed speechless.

But even if I did have 30K lying around burning holes in everything, I wouldn't ever dream of having spent that much on just lights. You must be very fortunate to be quite rich in the obscene sense.

I'd probably have taken my wife on vacation, saved a bit, bought a few knives, and bought a Tri-V, and 007...making for me a grand total of four Ti lights, some knives, a vacation, and about 25K in the bank.

Yikes.

I bow to you man. That is an awesome collection.
Heck, you could start a museum with this set. I'm not kidding, and you know it.

I adorn the SPY 007 #221
It's just superb.

Again, a nice collection, shado.

Sparky's Magic,

My collection consists of lights that appeal to me, and I just don't find Surefire lights to my taste. I do how ever enjoy my Ra Clicky! Over the last two months I have started collecting knives. I have spent more time and $$$$ as of late buying Hinderer knives than McGizmo lights. I continue building my light collection, adding a rare 007 Cree a few weeks ago. I find high end knives a good complement to my light collection.

Thanks
Todd

As much as I love my lights...

Spending this kind of money on lights is.. nuts. Even if you can afford to do so.

But each to their own.

:ironic:

Wow that is quite a budget for lights! Im glad you included some cpf support in there.

You should take a look at the hosts fivemega offers, if i had your budget he would be out of stock

Holy crap man! All the Mcgizmo's seem kinda redundant to me, but whatever floats your boat. Either way, one of the sweetest collection ever assembled. Have any pics of the entire collection?

Do you have any other hobbies? I feel like you could be spending all that money on something else (car,motorcycle,guns,whatever).

My first reply was lost in the crash..
All I can say is what an impressive collection you have. Some very nice items. You are missing some Delghi's though. The Iris is a great light..

Love the damascus...

Do they all have batteries in them ? Do you have them on an EDC rotation ?
