I've commented on here before, on how hard it is to find Maglites in the UK. Ok, there are some online retailers, but they have pretty much vanished from the shelves of most shops in the UK. And if you ever do see them, they are usually old models and hugely expensive.
However I was on holiday (vacation ) in Florida last month. So I thought it'd be ideal opportunity to top up on some of the newer Mag offerings.
On my hit list were:
-AAA Mini Mag LED
-XL200
-ML25LT
And maybe a ML300L.
But I was met with huge disappointment
I went in at least 7-8 stores, including a couple of Lowes, Target, Home Depot and Walmart. From Sarasota to Orlando.
And some had no Maglites at all and some only a few, but none of the ones I wanted.
I found some:
-incan Mini Mags
-Mini Mag Pro LED (but not the Pro+)
-Solitaire LED
-a couple of XL50's
-and some incan C cell twsities but not the LED ones with 2 cell, only 3
Some stores had loads of flashlights too, massive Coast displays and others. But seems, at least in Florida and the UK that Maglites are hard to come by.
This was the biggest Maglite display I found in any of the stores.
Out of shot to the left the flashlight display was maybe six times what you can see in the picture.
In the end I bought myself a 2AA Mini Mag Pro, just so I got something. It's actually a really nice torch too.
