Here is the PART 2 of this Thread


Time has come to post the order thread /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

As I posted in the Homemade forum, the CNC shop will be able to do the batch around end of January to mid February. So this thread will be kept open until they give me the GO on the production run.

This is the estimated Roadmap:

1) Between Jan/31 and Feb/18 the production will begin
2) End of the order
3) Purchase converters form the shoppe
4) Order UCL lenses (DONE ready to ship)
5) Order TWOJ emitters (done)
6) Order O-Rings (DONE ready to ship)
7) CNC shop work time is one week
8) Anodizer is two weeks or less depending if they have hard anodize jobs in the pipeline
9) At the same time as the anodizers do their job, I'll start building the light engines (LS+heatsink+converter) since the heat sink is not anodized.
10) Laser engraving of the anodized units is one week
11) Assembly of the units
12) Testing of the units
13) Posting the whole family shot
14) Receive the complete payment of the order
15) Ship
16) Rest /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

My worst case scenario is end of March/05

I want to offer a delivery warranty:

<font color="red"> If I don't deliver by March/31, you will have the option for a full refund or to accept the new delivery time, this is YOUR CHOICE, no questions asked.</font>



From the list I gathered in the homemade forum, the interest is centered on 4 boards: BB400, BB500, Nextgen 400 & Nextgen 500 (with a couple of exceptions), so to simplify the building process, you will be able to choose only one of those.

All the models will have:

Black Hard Anodized Body & Tail cap
UCL lens
3w premium emitter (bin TWOJ)
S017XA Reflector
Top O-Ring and Tail cap O-Ring
Split ring
Laser Engraved: NEOCA BL - Primera Edición
(translation: First Edition)


Let go to the numbers:

NEOCA BL / BadBoy 400 or 500 = $135 (EDITED: REMOVED PREPAYMENT LINKS)

NEOCA BL / NextGen400 or 500 = $150 (EDITED: REMOVED PREPAYMENT LINKS)

Shipping is $10 Worldwide, and delivery time is around 10-15 days. If you want express shipping there is EMS but they charge around $25 to USA and more to Europe/Asia

Paypal address is: [email protected] (Credit Cards are OK /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif) <font color="red">Please add your CPF alias in the comments field, so I can put PAID next to your name</font>


Now the surprises:

1) BRASS NEOCA BL


Brass NEOCA BL / BadBoy 400 or 500 = $150 (EDITED: REMOVED PREPAYMENT LINKS)

Brass NEOCA BL / NextGen400 or 500 = $165 (EDITED: REMOVED PREPAYMENT LINKS)

Brass units will ship first (Fast-Track) since they don't need anodizing and will not be engraved


2) You will have the choice to purchase a second unit (same converter choices) and have a 10% discount on the pair

Example:

NEOCA BL / BadBoy 400 or 500 = $135 (pre-payment=$40)
Brass NEOCA BL / BadBoy 400 or 500 = $150 (pre-payment=$40)
Total= $285
After Discount=$256 (rounded to lower value) ($29 savings)
(shipping is $18)


3) Bare Aluminum

If you want the Body & Tail cap in bare aluminum just post your choice.

Bare Al units will be shipped first (Fast-Track) and will not be engraved


If you have questions, try to find the answer in this NEOCA BL - Homemade Forum Thread or post it here.

Next post is the list from the homemade forum

I can shave an additional $5 every 50 units made until 200:

Units. . . Final Price
50-99 . . . . $135
100-149 . . .$130
150-199 . . .$125
200+ . . . . .$120

[/ QUOTE ]

Well... this offer is still valid and it adds to the 10% discount offer for 2 units. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Every unit counts no matter if its brass or aluminum. Spread the voice /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

EDIT 2/7/2005

PAYPAL PROBLEM UPDATE / PLEASE READ

PAYPAL PROBLEM SOLVED ON 2/9/05

As agreed with paypal, I will take the full payments when the units are ready to ship.


<font color="red">Edit 2/10/05
Color & Finish options:
</font>

These will be the conditions:[/b]

The cost will be $10 for each color choice and $10 for each finish option.

These options are only for the aluminum units. Please keep in mind that a more apropiate name for the color is tint, because the color must be added to the ha3 natural, so it tends to be more opaque than the same color against white.

BUT,

<Marketing mode on> /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

if you buy more than one unit, along with the 10% discount, you will have the choice of one color and one finish, <font color="red"> a $20 value: FREE </font>

</Marketing mode off>


Bead Blasted comes in 5 levels.

Please remember, the standard unit comes HA Black and not bead blasted.


<font color="red"> End Updates </font>


Thanks a Million

Re: NEOCA BL CR2 - Primera Edición - PREORDER

Quick question on #3 from the order choices... is there a price reduction for the bare alum light since there is no need for anodizing or engraving?

Also, how much more does the brass version weigh vs. the regular?

Thanks

Curtis

Re: NEOCA BL CR2 - Primera Edición - PREORDER

Pre-payment has been sent. I did change one thing. I ordered a NextGen 500 board instead of a 400. Just in case you want to update the list above to keep track of things.

Thanks,
Chad

PEU,

Can I choose not to have the key hole? I just like the uncut, nice round tail you have on your proto unit.

Re: NEOCA BL CR2 - Primera Edición - PREORDER

Any chance of a unique 'in your face' color on HA3 for this unique light?

Re: NEOCA BL CR2 - Primera Edición - PREORDER

Curtis: Brass is around 2.5 times heavier than Al, so it should be around 35 grams in AL and 80 grams in Brass.

The laser engraving difference is negligible, thats why I don't offer a discount for the ones who don't want it (standarization-standarization-standarization /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif) You will benefit because you will receive it first /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I don't know the heat transfer properties of the brass, but I guess it should be no problem. I will turn a brass unit myself one of these days and post temperature tests in the Homemade forum thread.

Flashlight: Shipping is $10 worldwide

Amorphous: I guess it can be done, I need to remember to tell the CNC shop not to do the keyring hole in yours (please remind me when preorder ends please /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif)

Hallis: Prepayment will run to the end of the month for sure, don't worry.

Cromagnet: BIG MAYBE


All: payment updates in 2nd post
Thank guys

Re: NEOCA BL CR2 - Primera Edición - PREORDER

Pablo,

What are the chances of the wood skinned ones being made?

I definately want at least one of these great little lights!

Thanks,

Re: NEOCA BL CR2 - Primera Edición - PREORDER

I am in for one HAIII NextGen500 and one brass NextGen 500, a total, taking advantage of the 10% discount of $283.50. I want to get you the prepayment of $110 and (if needed) the shipping costs of $10 (or is it $20 for the two?). Are you able to accept a Money Order and, if so, must it be an International Money order? karlthev
