+1 I'm no ICON fanboy, but it's not fair to beat Paul Kim up for something he hasn't done. Check
http://www.myiconlight.com/. It only lists the Rogue and Modus lights. Consider this thread pre-announcement, inside information, I would say.
Let's not do to Paul Kim what has been done to David at 4Sevens over the Maelstroms. I'm referring to
this thread and in particular
this post. I'm personally hoping that David will be able to relax about this once he has released the Maelstroms and some time has passed. I believe that thread may have caused a great loss to the CPF community and would hate to have this thread go the same way.
First and foremost 47's is not in the same league as Surfire! Surefire is the industry leader.
Come on guy's... this is no PK bash, you search my past posts, I love the guy!
Now, for whatever reason some companies, big ones, did add them to their sites. Icon needs to address this post, or start one so we know.
I love Surefire, but there are a ton of people mad about the lights we never saw. I am not upset with surefire due to the war.
However Icon, is a consumer deal, and if I feel I need to complain, I will. All it really is a tough question, and you need a thick skin when customers make decisions, and are left disappointed.
Whilst I like PK, I am not orthodox...we need an answer. Also, PK is the engineer and idea person, not the production, or marketing, or QC manager. So let's just say Icon!
Although, he is the main person on the Icon site, and for this project he may be the CEO figure, if this is the case then the responsibilities are his to order his people to let customers know. Blame optics planet, if you want but it appeared they were for sale.
I do not feel this thread will cause damage, they just need to communicate a realistic release date. Blame the retailers who posted them for sale, I made an order as a gift.
Really they made a fool out me, and others. Again, PK I hope, is not paid to see that these things are shipped by the thousands, he should be working on the next concept in flashlights. He can be featured as Icon's designer, but they need a business manager ro run the other departments which make up an operation.
Hopefully, this is just the troubles of launching a sister operation.
These lights seem like simple designs compared to the parent company's products.
Also, this was my first Chinese made purchase with the modus, and Rouge. They may be my last. I only bought Chinese because of the Surefire ownership of Icon.
A press release will fix this instantly.
