HDS Second and Final 4000k Group Buy interest thread.

[bigburly912]

I've been following this a long time and I've almost bought a few peoples spots (I see no point now). I would be furious if I was in your alls shoes. It's been almost a year. Wow

Henry,

Can I get another update on the Hogo 400k group buy?

Thanks for that update! So if I understand it correct the project starts to move forward almost 11 months after we paid for our lights!? That is truly amazing.

1. Look on the bright side... If you hadn't spent the money here you d have spent it somewhere else and possibly not had anything to show... You WILL get the light.

2. You WILL be happy you waited cause you'll most likely never have the opportunity to get another

 

[JKolmo]

Yeah you're right! I just can't avoid feeling somewhat conned. I will most probably forget it when I get the light though.

This brings up a question. I wonder how long Henry will continue to make lights? He's not getting any younger.

I am willing to bet that this group buy is not completed by the 4th of july. Any takers?

 

[the0dore3524]

Well, if he JUST started working on it...might have some issues there 😂. The way he said "now" makes me think that they just started working on it like a year later.

 

[doctordun]

I suppose in the scheme of things, we are simply a tiny order and not worthy of any special attention.

Which year are you betting on? 2017?

 

[usdiver]

Guys, I know the wait is frustrating but you chose to order a custom light, as did I. I m not rich, I could use the money, but what other company is going to do you a special run of a light that is purely custom without a risk of huge wait time? I understand a lot of issues are down to supplying vendors... And knowing that Henry is very strict on quality control (if it's not the way he wants it, it goes back). Given that fact I think it's only fair to say that you are getting what you paid for... Including wait time. You ll get the lights and when you do you ll be happy.

 

[doctordun]

It's not so much the wait, but the lack of communication.

 

[kaichu dento]

It's not so much the wait, but the lack of communication.

The lack of communication coupled with the fact that we sent our payments out back in November, which is ironically when communication stopped.

My hope is that since we've been kept waiting so long that at least there'll be some benefit in upgrades we wouldn't have received if we'd taken delivery back in December as had been indicated back when snow was on the ground.

 

[nbp]

Have you guys asked Henry about an ETA or do you prefer to just stew about it?

 

[Double Barrel]

I have asked about the ETA.
Couple months before SHOT, IIRC. He said "sometime after SHOT."

According to hank_612, Henry stated on May 24th, 2016 ..."The project is now moving forward."

For now, I don't want to delay the project further by making him respond to more email from me.
It's gotta be closer now than it was back in July 2015, when I sent payment! ...yeehaw!

Henry should consider employing someone who knows HDS well enough ( like hogo ), to help him out.

 

[nbp]

Hmm, those are pretty nebulous responses. I feel your pain.

I did hear of a nice surprise or feature that no body knows what it is. I figure either way, he's probably as frustrated as most are. I m not cause when the thing gets sent back home I won't get it till I get back home... Not paying customs anymore than I have to!

 

[usdiver]

I know where there is a light from the first run if anyone is interested

 

[Trip Miller]

Ouch....can't believe THIS thread is still open...sorry. Back to your regular programming...:fail:

 

[slim4511]

11+ months and counting. Ugh
