No but I can definately say keep far away from GADZOOKS unless you want to wait 3 months for your torch

GAD-ZOOKS get a -1 as well...
Ordered a few items - nothing has arrived after weeks - emailed them - slow to reply and no resolution. Maybe the only way to properly get their attention would be to dispute with Paypal.
It's a shame and seems a recent problem - orders I placed perhaps 6+ months ago arrived quickly.
So does anyone know a good source for Mag C (2 or 3 cell) - ideally who take Paypal and ship to the UK? :twothumbs

Have you tried Action-Lights.com? I know they ship but I don't think they have the C Mags in colors. Come to think of it I've not seen C Mags in colors anywhere except Home Depot here in the states. Twice I've seen the purple 2C mag.
Best of luck

Flashlight King had some listed but not anymore. They do have lots of color D Mags, but I don't know what they actually have in stock.

If you can't find anything, try ebay and Froogle (oops, Google Product Search). I suspect it's been a long time since Mag did a run of colored C lights - no one seems to have them.
You might also want to ask this in the collecting section of CPF. Members recently snapped up a few 7C! Mags that turned up.
PS - What colors?
2C Red, Black, Silver, Blue, and 4C Black: http://www.kodiakoutback.com/detail.aspx?ID=1455&utm_source=frgl&utm_medium=ppc&utm_campaign=cmp1
They have international shipping rates, so they probably fit.

Forget Action Lights if you are outside the US - was going to order a Mag C (3 cell) and the International shipping (to the UK) came to almost US$60 (the light itself was only $15).
I am looking for a Pewter color one but may settle for blue one. Thanks for the info.
Just received an email reply from Mag regarding C cell colors. They indicated that colors are only done in lots of 10,000 and greater and only when the customer requests it. Sooooooo, they will do any "approved" color if you will buy 10k minimum.
I was only hoping for two.

Costco in the US has a greater Mag selection? Of the local Costco's I have seen around Vancouver, Canada, they only carry a 4D Mag / AA Minimag two pack.
I am also currently looking for a 2C Pewter Mag for a ROP build. I may have to settle for black.

My local HomeDepot has 1 purple 2C. Everything else is black. Kodiak from the link in post 5 has the most colors I've ever seen in a C cell Mag.

I've been looking for a 2C in something other than black for a while and still haven't seen one. The Kodiak lights look to be LED. I'd planned on modding the light once I got it so starting with a normal incan would be cheaper.

No, the US Costco carries the same. I was referring to the big chains' (esp. WalMart/Sam's, Target, Costco) volume purchases.
Manufacturers like to maintain price; however, high volume purchasers want a better deal. The solution is to create a bundle that's exclusive to that retailer. The approximate price is the same, but the purchaser gets a little more product. That's why you see Mag AA with 2 spare bulbs at WalMart, with a holster at Target, and with the anti-roll collar somewhere else. It's also why Costco carries the 4D/2AA, for about the price that other large retailers have the 4D, and Home Depot has a 2AA/2AAA bundle for $14 or so.
So if someone knew a Costco / Home Depot etc. buyer, a run of matched 2C/2AA lights in new colors would be a possibility. With 1,000+ stores, 10,000 is a small order
