If only they accepted btc

Any idea if LTTstore uses secured payment?

[sullen frost]

I'm guessing there are just some weird settings that they are fiddling with

[latent lark]

wtf was this I didn't even have an email, kept refreshing, and sold out instantly

do you think support could edit the size of my hoodie after checkout?

[sullen frost]

Well shit, backpack shipping separately means I’ll have to place my “separate” order separately

[willow tide]

Either the bot net took them in in 10 seconds. Or they just haven;t put the quantity on yet

[serene cargo]

Or they are just sitting there refreshing the page view count tracker and laughing

[sour gust]

likely this lol

[covert cloak]

more like 40k units

I know I would do that

got email 10 minutes ago

[blazing wave]

email is also just slow

Ok, so "email notifications are not yet received by many" would be more accurate

[blazing wave]

wouldn't be surprised if it's just taking forever for them to process

Ooh got a nice round order number too

but still, Linus expected a high conversion rate of notification signup to actual orders, we do not disappoint 🤣

oh its a wan hoodie, i was now nearly p1ssed that I could have gotten the Stealth.

I got mine but never got a email

[chilly hamlet]

gonna be hard to cancel things with just an order number

[blazing wave]

yeah you can't

ltt arent dumb

[sour gust]

it's also not just LTT, it's shopify

[blazing wave]

yeah lol

[pastel lichen]

unless they are overwhelmed and start getting sloopy

[blazing wave]

nah

[ancient python]

I needed this bag

[willow tide]

#69420?

My right strap is on last legs

[pastel lichen]

i wouldnt drop 300 without tons of reviews on a bag if i didnt trust ltt

Imagine when they sell cables

[covert cloak]

anyone know which size water bottle fits in the backpack?

[sullen frost]

Time to turn off notifs again

[sullen frost]

always have a backup email provider

[covert cloak]

perf thanks

[blazing wave]

I signed up on like 3 emails lol

[mint apex]

They did a really good promo and dealing with any doubts with the IRL shop...

[peak halo]

Or a supportive Discord community

[sullen frost]

ah thank you!

[short maple]

64 will, just not in the pouch on the side

[ancient python]

1500 sold

[covert cloak]

ez money

[blazing wave]

smh I should start making backpacks

ez money clearly

[molten prawn]

I wouldn’t drop 300 on a bag period if it wasn’t ltt xD

[mint apex]

Can I get an F for the +50% in shipping and taxes?

[sullen frost]

I look forward to replacing the cheapy backpack I use daily for travel

[blazing wave]

oof

[sick badge]

I hope to see a video showing the team live reactions to what's currently happening

[molten prawn]

F

[ancient python]

Yeah i looked for new bag for years

[pastel lichen]

state taxes $18.56 USD

[ancient python]

Nothing was good enough

0 state tax 🙂

[sullen frost]

I diddn't know LTTstore had dark mode

[barren basin]

don't know the margins they have but let's say its 20usd and all backpacks get sold. that alone will generate a nice 1mil. gonna be a nice patch on the cashflow deficit

[short maple]

same for me, not buying it now.. waiting for more reviews because 400$backpack

[peak halo]

Well they lost out on a good couple of hundred dollars from me by saying orders with a backpack would be shipped out in separate shipments, I can be a lot more conservative with my next order

[hot frigate]

💀

[blazing wave]

lol

[pastel lichen]

scalpers be like

[peak halo]

Almost covers the cost of Lab 2

[final quail]

$400 Canadian for me and i live really close

Big W for living in USA

[jovial badger]

I've never seen tax and shipping be almost the same price wow rip to you

[molten prawn]

Finally we get something for it.

[timid elk]

The real question is when will we get screwdriver

[molten prawn]

[blazing wave]

gotta put something in that screwdriver pocket

[sullen frost]

we're considered a southern state

[peak halo]

And there’s the sticky notif í set up, only 15 minutes late

[blazing wave]

wonder if any LTT staff are lurking in here lol

[distant cargo]

Blew my budget at flight tickets, ain't getting a backpack so soon

[keen plaza]

Is backpack Geman Shepard proof?

[jovial badger]

They're probably making sure they don't crash the website

[pastel lichen]

this means anywhere from 3 months - never

[candid fern]

down to 7500

[mint apex]

Only works against Shadows*

*no tests have been done

[pastel lichen]

im so glad i wrote a reminder on my whiteboard. i looked at it and reminded me to check 4 mins after the notice went out

[modest mason]

So it shows the wave but like is he gonna sell them all now ? So for example lets say wave 1 and 2 are sold out in 13 ours could i still order 1 and it will be in wave 3

[pastel lichen]

otherwise i woulda been snoozing

[keen plaza]

I'll report back

[stable ridge]

I’ll probably wait on the bag for now. Anyone know if the bag will be a general store item for a long time after the initial hype?

[mint apex]

Reminder? Some inside intel that it will drop at this hour?

[modest mason]

Or is wave 2 available later date ?

[blazing wave]

from the looks of it yes

[dire gust]

over 2k units sold cashflow

[ancient python]

All are avail now i think

[pastel lichen]

jk

[blazing wave]

looks like all waves will be as soon as the previous sells out

[molten prawn]

I think wave 2 sells now and ships later (dates are on listing).

[pastel lichen]

just a general reminder to keep checking today or tomorrow

[mint apex]

The backorder will be open non-stop I think, you will just wait for the shipping in Wave 2 (idk if I misunderstood ur question)

[peak halo]

All ~40k units are up for grabs right now

[ancient python]

A suggestion for team, allow people to request a later wave if they want to

[blazing wave]

yeah u could place a $9,000,000 order and get all of them

[glacial solar]

Enjoy everyone. I don't need a backpack like this one often enough to justify it. Looking forward to the screwdriver though! Got to check out a final sample at the LAN and it was really NICE!

[modest mason]

Aight am gonna beg it has some left by the time i wake up and the postal service delivers my credit card 😂

[mint apex]

...and banned

[pastel lichen]

they would cancel this so fast

[ancient python]

Unless it was to outfit a company

[sour gust]

actually kinda surprised they didn't put in a limit

[pastel lichen]

linus cares more about his viewers than a random company

[glacial solar]

The price is the limit 😛

[willow tide]

Browser add on? Or does it?

[pastel lichen]

and there would be so much outrage. literally worst possible move to make

[jovial badger]

Linus and Yvonne rn

[harsh aurora]

Lmao

[sour gust]

yeah, but figured they could put a limit of 5 or something... can't imagine there will be scalpers, but still

[blazing wave]

but what if I just needed a new backpack every day for the next 100 years??

[tropic timber]

so was this the backorder or do they have them now and are going to start shipping?

[ancient python]

This is backorder

[modest mason]

It says dates in the website

[pastel lichen]

^

[blazing wave]

the days are on the website

[molten prawn]

Backorder, but I think they’re getting wave 1 very shortly.

[sour gust]

WAVE 2 (10,000 PIECES): SHIPPED FROM OUR WAREHOUSE BY OCTOBER 10
WAVE 3 (10,000 PIECES): SHIPPED FROM OUR WAREHOUSE BY OCTOBER 30
WAVE 4 (10,000 PIECES): SHIPPED FROM OUR WAREHOUSE BY NOVEMBER 10```

[tropic timber]

oh whoops. i didnt look beyond click add to cart hahahahaha

wait sep 20 isnt that bad actually

[stable ridge]

Will there be more bags after wave 4? Or are they discontinued

[distant cargo]

Geez 65USD shipping

[ancient python]

Prob will be more

[sour gust]

I have to assume there will be more if they sell 40k of them lol

[ancient python]

The 4 waves are what have been ordered

[pastel lichen]

[dire gust]

probably an ongoing product as long as there is demand

they have spent loads on developing it

[harsh aurora]

To where?

[molten prawn]

I don’t think they’ll discontinue after all the development work they’ve put into it, and if they sell all 40k that’s even more incentive to make more.

[ancient python]

My biggest concern are straps/zippers breaking

[distant cargo]

Mordor (nz)

[blazing wave]

as long as they're selling, I'm sure they'll keep making them

[harsh aurora]

Damn

[fossil flower]

interesting seeing other things go out of stock as people buy things with their backpacks

[sour gust]

yeah, probably been waiting to buy things lol

[sick badge]

3000 sold in 30 minutes, that's kinda insane

[blazing wave]

3k orders in 30 minutes is crazy

[peak halo]

LOLLERSKATES

[sour gust]

750k in 30 minutes ain't a bad day

[mint apex]

That would be me if my bank would be a dick with limits...

[sullen frost]

Wave 1 friends rejoice!

[ivory breach]

Tote bag is not free

F

[vivid stirrup]

bruh

[pastel lichen]

where this number from?

[sour gust]

3000 * $250

[sullen frost]

the product page

[mint apex]

Wanna bet that in the exact second Wave #2 will appear that at least 1 listing will be on eBay for #1 spot?

[subtle remnant]

Yeah F

[pastel lichen]

oh im dumb

was thinking units sold not cash

i was liek what

[candid fern]

I bought a stealth hoodie and 2 water bottle spouts

[light root]

Am I blind? How do I get this channel? Is it this server?

[willow tide]

They have the fun of making and shipping more

[fossil flower]

gg/ZCkTvdn8

[sullen frost]

Now i fear of how the LTT team will handle the logistics of handling 10k orders

[blazing wave]

[ancient python]

I wonder what the break even number for backpack is

I think there bom is kinda high

[vivid stirrup]

how did my body literally wake me up for 23:20 XD for the release of the backpack bruh im so fucking lucky XD

[final quail]

I remember Linus saying how much he spent but it was a while ago

[covert cloak]

probs very high cause backpacks are expensive to make and ship

[willow tide]

Hoodies get auto discount

[willow tide]

opportunity to buy LTT backpack, confirmed by NFT

[blazing wave]

idk I'd bet their margin for at least the first wave is decent

they prepurchased materials for it iirc

[ivory breach]

Bought mome

[glacial solar]

There will be more but it might be more expensive. They pre-paid for all the materials for the first 4 waves months ago and prices have increased a lot since.

[ivory breach]

Lmao bank called me to confirm spending

[vivid stirrup]

bruh deffo since i placed my order they was 7000+ now there is 6000+

[onyx drum]

I got a shipping cost of $65.98 (to Taiwan) for a backpack. Is this normal? Last time I bought a big CPU pillow only cost $24.99 to ship.

[blazing wave]

I placed mine when it said 9700 left lol

[vivid stirrup]

ITS DROPPING SO FAST

[fossil flower]

bigger, heavier = more expensive

[ivory breach]

Big heavy item is costing more to ship internationally, about 70$

[wise ivy]

Same

[willow tide]

Email alerts are out?

[mint apex]

I am trying to picture how they will manage all those orders...

[vivid stirrup]

im so happy and giddie i got wave one hehe

[peak smelt]

Similar to shipping price to Aus and I think someone mentioned earlier NZ

[blazing wave]

the physical space it takes up is a huge factor

and backpacks aren't exactly small

[pastel lichen]

Pillow was big and heavy

prolly heavier than packpack

[fossil flower]

pillow can be compressed

[harsh aurora]

Not as big and heavy i think

[fossil flower]

size is a bigger factor than weight

[pastel lichen]

trueee

[mint apex]

Probably cuz of the weight. I paid similar to EU

[willow tide]

Same

[blazing wave]

I wonder if they're taking some of the margin towards shipping

[fallen iris]

The backpack could also be compressed

[harsh aurora]

Not as much

[blazing wave]

cus $20 is pretty low for shipping something that big from canada to the US

[fossil flower]

in theory yes, in practice not really without folding and nobody wants a folded bqckpack

[onyx drum]

Ya the pillow was compressed, i think the backpack will definitely be much bigger. But still $65.98 is huge.

[blazing wave]

and people wouldn't be happy if its folded

[pastel lichen]

my wallet is being compressed by ltt drops

[fossil flower]

let me tell you about ridge wallet...

[peak halo]

And AT LONG LAST the broke-ass email notif that pinged my phone loudly as designed but way too late

[blazing wave]

shipping big, somewhat heavy thing across the planet costs a ton

if you walked into a fedex store to ship your backpack back to ltt for some reason, it would probably be $100+

[harsh aurora]

Ye

[dry bolt]

I would also imagine Taiwan is a tricky expensive place to ship to rn

[ivory breach]

Yeah i got no email still, but we all kinda knew email noti services are slow

[dry bolt]

plus, there may be shipping insurance required based on price or something that drives the cost of shipping up more

[blazing wave]

less than 6k lol

[fossil flower]

same here, saw the discord noti before the email came just now

[sullen frost]

got my order in 10 minutes before my email notifications (two addresses) sent out!

[blazing wave]

I was spam refreshing lol

[ivory breach]

I just saw yall going nuts on discord while im at the bank lol

[blazing wave]

I got one notification at :56 then one at :13 lol

[ivory breach]

Placed the order via my phone which only shows half the webpage 😂

[mint apex]

Hopefully the wave #1 will be the same quality as wave #4 and later waves

[harsh aurora]

I got mine at :09 and got the backpack at :14

[dry bolt]

almost 4k of wave one sold in about 40 minutes

[fossil flower]

:45 lmao

[ivory breach]

All of em have been ordered, so shouldn't change

[ivory breach]

F in chat for LTT cash flow issues lmao

[mint apex]

Meaning it just didnt fit in the container all at once...

[ivory breach]

Manufacturing waves

And like i doubt he can hold 10 containers of bags at once

[mint apex]

Well, I was a KS backer for few tech things and they offered earlier wave with the fact it can have more defects. But those were electronics.

[fossil flower]

til containers fall off ships so often that the ones on the inside on the ship are more premium shipping places

[ivory breach]

Lmao

[fallen iris]

Now a completely different question. How do you wash your LTT water bottle? Unfortunately, you can't put them in the dishwasher. I ask because I have only ever used dishwasher-safe water bottles.

[final quail]

Any excuse to charge more

[ivory breach]

Plastic wire brush

Soap

[peak halo]

Bottle scrubber

[mint apex]

https://tenor.com/view/raise-hands-hannibal-buress-serious-face-gif-15633687

[ivory breach]

Fair enough

[final quail]

Use the next fill of water and drink it 😄

[sour gust]

got them tiny hands if you can get inside there

[dry bolt]

Hydro Flask Water Bottle Scrubbing Brush, long handle, nylon bristles

[sour gust]

I also follow the refill often approach

wash the lid, but only water and ice is going inside, so can't get too dirty

[mint apex]

you seen action movies? When they have handcuffs and brake their knuckles and fingers...yupp, thats the trick.

[onyx drum]

Thanks for the insight, I guess $65.98 is reasonable then. Just ordered mine and will be saving for a while hahaha.

[fossil flower]

I mean it's water so how dirty can it be

[barren basin]

@fallen iris

[sour gust]

yeah, unless you live in Flint or something, probably fine

[peak halo]

Almost 4,000 backpacks sold in like... half an hour. Y'all are incredible.

Twitter · Aug 3, 2022, 10:27 PM

[final quail]

I wash with a bottle brush and soap/warm water every few days, but water and ice only so it’s fine

[timid cove]

bottle brush on the inside, on occasion. had to take a q-tip to the spout lid recently. I tend to dump it all and refill atleast every other day though

[dire gust]

my norwegian water will keep it fresh ❤️

[sour gust]

exactly

[ivory breach]

As I said, F in chat to cash flow problems lol

[short maple]

🇳🇴 🇳🇴 🇳🇴 🇳🇴

[sullen frost]

I'm still excited lol, the adrenaline rush has not gone away

[vivid stirrup]

ive only just seen the deal bruh

[ancient python]

Well it cost them at least a mill for the bags

[mint apex]

Now Linus can have another wire fraud scam and he'll be fine

[ivory breach]

Lmao

[ivory breach]

Already in profit lol

[ancient python]

At least

[blazing wave]

he could probably have a few

[ancient python]

It was prob much more

[final quail]

Looks like sales have slowed. The crazy MFers (us) have got theirs

[ivory breach]

Yeah

[blazing wave]

drop a 10k CPU here or there

[sour gust]

once the YT vids go out, it will spike for sure

[ivory breach]

Should last a few days at the minimum tho

[final quail]

Oh for sure

[ivory breach]

Like deskpads

[blazing wave]

it's slowed

[dry bolt]

I bet tomorrow eod wave 1 is gone

[blazing wave]

but still ~1mil in backpacks sold

[mint apex]

My friend who doesnt care about YT at all bought the backpack. That alone says the product is unique... Its not just for fans.

[blazing wave]

wonder if it will ever be in any retail

[timid cove]

where we getting a counter at? just subtracting from the remaining bag count?

[mint apex]

Too much hassle.

[dry bolt]

Yeah, same, I had to clean under the seal recently even though its only had water and ice

[blazing wave]

retail makes selling a bag a lot easier tho

[short maple]

not 1 mill for ltt

[sour gust]

yup, started at 9700

[short maple]

they prob only make 20-50$ per

[fossil flower]

✨if the bottle doesn't look dirty, it's not dirty ✨

[blazing wave]

yeah of course, its still 1mil in revenue tho

[mint apex]

But the process to ship them, cuts, lost and damaged goods... Exact reason (kinda) why they dropped from Amazon.

[ivory breach]

I noticed when you add other items it charges you 2* delivery cost cus they ship out two orders

[blazing wave]

in retail theres no shipping involved

other than to the store

[ivory breach]

This is why its more expensive with multi items as well

[mint apex]

I believe Linus disclosed it in some WAN episode...

[short maple]

yea, i just dont remember what it was

[sullen frost]

"meets carry-on standards for most airlines" this was the part I was worried about lol, glad to know it should be fine

[blazing wave]

they dropped amazon cus they were terrible for sellers

[short maple]

better for the buyer

but i dont have amazon here so i dont care 😛

[vivid stirrup]

bruh its dropping hundereds every 10 minuites

[mint apex]

meanwhile there is just troll script that substracts them xd

[final quail]

Still going down. Might see another spike when the east wakes up

I suspect it will sell out once the SC drops for it

[sour gust]

Linus is updating every like 10 minutes on twitter - he's definitely watching that sales dashboard lol

[mint apex]

you snooze you lose

[final quail]

Haha

Mine was the 66th order placed according to Nick

I’m good

[timid cove]

nice, i was like 10 minutes after start ~

[vivid stirrup]

2 minuites another 100 poof

[final quail]

I may or may not have been mashing f5 all day instead of working

[sour gust]

what was the first # ?

[mint apex]

☕ 😵‍💫

[dire gust]

so... you executed order 66

[mint apex]

how he know though

[final quail]

He has my name and looked at the orders

[blazing wave]

he has access to the backend

yeah saw it on twitter lol

[timid cove]

how long till order 34 is executed with the ltt backpack lol

[blazing wave]

[distant cargo]

oh wow yea, that sticker pack adds $15 shipping for me

[timid cove]

it is a rule of the internet, jus sayin

[final quail]

Mine was XXX546 so the lowest order would be about 486ish

[mint apex]

me too, didnt think they'd go that far to be helpful

[sour gust]

so if yours was 66th, I have to guess I was 73rd

[ivory breach]

has to be a Bug tho cus i doubt they will send stickers seperately

One sticker should not change it that much

[final quail]

I think the whole team is watching, and Nick is amazing about answering on Twitter

[short maple]

i wish they did a livestream watching when it started

[molten prawn]

Mine must have been first 100 based on numbers, gotta go fast.

[final quail]

They might be recording it. Would make a great FP exclusive

[timid cove]

nah i'm good not watching grown men cry

[final quail]

Watching Linus melt into a puddle could be fun lol

[vivid stirrup]

in the 4000 now

[blazing wave]

almost 5k sold

[peak halo]

Linus and Yvonne with Lab 2 rn

[ivory breach]

Ikr

[vivid stirrup]

literally set my alarm for 1am to check the backpack lol, my body felt the disturbance in the universe that was the release of the ltt backpack

[timid cove]

so hopefully we all love the bags when we get them and review them well so they dont have to worry about building lab 3 out of backpacks and shipping containers

[sour gust]

my current bag is starting to deteriorate, and that's a swissgear I got in 2004 ... just hoping this one lasts that long

[blazing wave]

mine was around 80, you're probably very close with your guess

[candid fern]

I was actually okay with not getting a backpack

[opal night]

that moment when adding in stickers increases shipping cost of backpack ~ 20$

[candid fern]

this was practice for the screwdriver

I NEED the screwdriver

the backpack was like a "oh yeah it'd be cool to have one"

[opal night]

that moment when i'm the other way around kek

[candid fern]

the screwdriver is a NEED

[opal night]

cuz i have probably ~ 100-125 screwdrivers

[candid fern]

I want literally a black on black, black on orange, silver on black, and silver on orange

[peak halo]

This “shipping backpack separately” thing is going to sting a whole bunch of people, basically the saving you’re getting on the hoodie discount is going straight back into shipping the darn thing separately

[opal night]

and i look at them like.. it's too long for some things and too short for others

[peak halo]

I might change my delivery address to Canada ASAP

[opal night]

ye... but the free stickers thing even not being a thing kinda threw me off

[peak halo]

Also when I added the backpack to my cart the “free” Tote Bag returned to full price

[opal night]

tbh as it's currently sitting i wouldn't be surprised if they raised the price after back order

[opal night]

i believe you're supposed to use a code

[vivid stirrup]

yeah i didnt see the wan hoodie discount till i already placed my order, i was very sad boi ;-;

[opal night]

orrrrrrr

[peak halo]

The code was added automatically to any cart over $100 but adding the backpack broke it

[ancient python]

Why tote bag when u can backpack

[opal night]

backpack may still be a sale failure and they'll become a collectable memorabilia

[vivid stirrup]

maybe but using mine for work

[ancient python]

Sale failure with 5500 sold

[opal night]

over the last 7 minutes or so

another 200 ish sold

[ancient python]

I dont think they break even until wave2

[opal night]

i mean... they may still saturate the market and discontinue

[vivid stirrup]

approaching 4000 left

[opal night]

ye it's ramping up

[ivory breach]

Yeup same i did not end up getting the tote

[opal night]

i kinda wish they let people add stickers to their backpacks

[ivory breach]

I was able to add stickers

[opal night]

you can ... for me it increased shipping cost by ~ 20-25$

[vivid stirrup]

they must of finished the tote bag offer for the 20$ off a wan hoodie

[ivory breach]

Huh i paid a total shipping of 25$

To texas

[opal night]

i'm in eu

[ivory breach]

Interesting

[opal night]

and it went from 50$ in shipping to like 70 ish + extra in vat

[molten prawn]

Same. Didn’t try without the stickers, but I assume it wasn’t free shipping.

[peak halo]

US shipping is <<< expensive than overseas shipping

[ivory breach]

My india address was charging 70$ shipping including stickers

I did pay 23 in tax as well tho for Texas

[opal night]

make sure it wasn't less without them

[ivory breach]

I didn't check at the time tbh

[stiff epoch]

I have a mos blackpack grande and I am really not sure if I should go for the LTT backpack :c

[hot frigate]

Damn wish this was made clear

Ended up going back to add stickers

[opal night]

if you want one .. or if you do not want one

well

thing is

even if you hate it

it's still a great chrismas present

[ivory breach]

GGs bois, should have a bag by October

[ember path]

for those who have it, how bulky is the backpack? i daily commute on the metro, but dont carry that much. seems really bulky for a morning rush.

[opal night]

it's gonna be fun watching them commenting on the backpack sales on next wan show

and just getting flooded with questions

[blazing wave]

I don't think I've seen anyone talk about owning the bag in here

[ivory breach]

I did on day of sale

[opal night]

there are like 20-25 ish out in canada

[ivory breach]

Ppl gave some really detailed reviews here

[tardy frigate]

Backpack purchased, with love, from Parsec 😉

[ivory breach]

Answered questions

[opal night]

4200 left

[stuck torrent]

I wonder if there might be a 'normal' release on friday, like a shirt or something, or if they're gonna carry on basking in thicc backpack sales

[stiff epoch]

I am kinda disappointed that anything else gets shipped before the backpack. Adding anything just explodes shipping cost

even the free stuff seems to add cost

[opal night]

i hope it gets adressed on wan show and that they're gonna start adding in post cards / sticker pads

[distant cargo]

yea, especially that with hoodie discount shipped separately. I'll probably wait till ready stock. Don't need a backpack now plus blown budget

[opal night]

something fun like a special batch 1 backpack tester sticker for 1st batch people would be fun

[blazing wave]

bet they keep basking in the backpacks

[opal night]

imagine how much space backpack takes... then 10x it in every dimention and you get how much space 1000 backpacks take

[stiff epoch]

I wish they managed to release the screwdriver at the same point. I would love to just place one giant order

[opal night]

and each batch is basically 10x that

[blazing wave]

then 10x that for the 10k backpacks

[opal night]

ye

[blazing wave]

wonder if all the sales recently have been to clear out space

[vivid stirrup]

its still dropping like flies jesus christ

[stiff epoch]

they needed some cash flow

[opal night]

certainly a factor

[blazing wave]

that too

[opal night]

not everyone got/read the notification

[distant cargo]

happy for them making tons of sales tho

[opal night]

we're in the 40xx range

[vivid stirrup]

some people in the uk or eu might be asleep i mean i woke up and thought id check it on my pc and i sasw discord saying it was live

[opal night]

i refreshed the page and saw it was up

but ye

in the morning eu people are gonna be pissed

cuz it pretty much dropped at midnight for me

[blazing wave]

almost down to 3xxx

[blazing wave]

it was pretty standard timing for them releasing something

[opal night]

i'm not used for following that closely

[clear bison]

Was the email notification sent on time?

[stiff epoch]

does anyone have the unlisted backpack video link?

[blazing wave]

they're posting a new one today it sounds like

on short circuit

[stiff epoch]

I want to watch it before I decide :c

well if I wait for that wave 1 is gone

[opal night]

oh

they have a shit ton of pictures of the backpack now

[small badge]

Found the old video that was embedded on the store listing via archive.org wayback machine lol - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmEB8weHmf4

[vivid stirrup]

lol

[tardy frigate]

You've got an hour or three before Wave 1 goes

[blazing wave]

it isn't up to date tho

[opal night]

it should last for like ~ 1-2h

[stiff epoch]

good idea

ty

[blazing wave]

they changed one or two things iirc

like no more text on zipper

and something else idk

[opal night]

less branding on the front i think

[vivid stirrup]

well I need to sleep so yeah enjoy watching the counter hit 0 guys

[blazing wave]

think how cool it's gonna be

it's gonna hit zero then go back higher than ever before!!

[peak halo]

They changed the luggage strap loops on the back, added an AirTag pocket, added a zipper to the screwdriver pocket, and removed the loud branding on the front zipper

[blazing wave]

JC has their backpack facts on lock

[vivid stirrup]

Jawa Juice is the update king

JC is the wan show clip king

[soft cliff]

whats the backpack doing about 3k units per hour, so about an hour or so till wave one sold out...

[peak halo]

External water bottle pouch R.I.P.

[opal night]

over last 6 minutes ~ 136 sold

[frank comet]

Man almost 2.5 mil (cad) in like 2 hours…. That’s a good day! Hopefully Linus doesn’t have to lay on the floor for awhile 😊

[opal night]

so ~ 1-1.5 k per hour ish

[opal night]

not to count... shipping cost cash

and

cash people send them for them to pay for sales / import taxes

[frank comet]

That’s at 400cad per backpack (what I paid as a Canadian all in taxes/shipping)

[opal night]

for me it was ~ 475 - eu

[frank comet]

Actually 417 cad…. Almost a nice.

475 euro! Jesus!

[opal night]

oh nah

[stiff epoch]

360€ total

[opal night]

475 cad

[opal night]

ye about

[frank comet]

That’s like…. 622 cad… wtf

[knotty dragon]

Guys, I’m having a crisis. I want the backpack SO BAD but I don’t know if it is gonna be good for school use. And I don’t even know if it is going to be here in Texas by the time school starts (17th). What should I do? Does anyone have any recommendations on school use for the backpack?

[frank comet]

Seen, my bad!

[stiff epoch]

what grade?

[opal night]

if you don't have heavy books get something cheap cuz it's still probably gonna last you a year or two tops

[fair oak]

I just realized that I never received my order for the HDD hoodie. Did this happen to anyone else? I remember it was a print to order type of thing and I can't find the product page anymore

[opal night]

school isn't .. the most safe enviroment

[frank comet]

If it doesn’t ship till the 20th it won’t be there the 17th

[clear bison]

^

[opal night]

something is gonna happen that'll make you wanna replace it

[stiff epoch]

unless you are in university this seems really expensive for school

[knotty dragon]

Haha true! It’s a highschool 11th Grade

[stiff epoch]

yeah I wouldn't do that

it would work just fine but I wouldn't risk it

[knotty dragon]

Yeah, just really love ltt merch lol

[peak halo]

F (backpack+hoodie+tax+2*shipping)

[knotty dragon]

I probably won’t end up getting it 🥲

Thanks

[frank comet]

I’d be worried about it getting stolen at high school 😬

[ember path]

good use for an airtag

[opal night]

imagine if 1st batch came filled with ltt merch as a thank you for the 1st backers

[peak halo]

They’re saying they’ll ship wave 1 to customers by Sep 20th but it could be much earlier, shipping delays mean they don’t want to overpromise and underdeliver

[opal night]

ye.. ... and you can't really pack up, label and ship 10 000 packages on one day

it'd be fun if backpacks were serialized and it says xxxx/9700 1st batch etc

[timid elk]

I wish

[sullen frost]

just realized I paid like $7 extra for sticker shipping + taxes, but I suppose that's okay as long as it doesn't slow down my backpack order, it's all good

[stiff epoch]

I did it

still not sure if it is worth it

[ember path]

I could def see a more commuter version with just the back half/laptop compartment without the front half, or a collapsible section. Loved following the progress from the beginning to today's release. Was hoping to be a customer, but may be too big for me. Congrats LTT and everyone who made this happen. hope it sells like hotcakes.

[normal tendon]

So buy it right? Then just use something that's lying around the house or get a super cheap one

[sullen frost]

LTT briefcase when

[stiff epoch]

I guess if I end up liking my mos blackpack grande more I can still just sell it for what I paid for

[normal tendon]

Ltt lunchbox

[sullen frost]

I'm just glad doesn't refer to it as a bookbag

[timid elk]

Hear me out new discord channel ltt merch ideas

[normal tendon]

Cancerous but I love it ^

[distant cargo]

#hailcorporate

[dusty citrus]

Just brought the backpack this is probably the longest time between pre order and actual shipment (I'm in Australia and generally don't pre order many things)

[last narwhal]

Agree - it holds too much for me to use daily - but if they make a smaller one I would be all over it

[stiff epoch]

technically a backorder

[violet river]

w

damn, a little over an hour

[peak halo]

And here was me hoping to get to sleep at a reasonable hour, still buzzing from the hype of the evening

[violet river]

[timid elk]

When you think we are going to get a video on the backpack

[sullen frost]

Linus mentioned on his twitter it should be coming soon on ShortCircuit

[wise ivy]

I forgot to add the wan hoodie

I just wanted to make sure I got the backpack

[peak halo]

I wouldn’t worry, had you added it it’ll be shipped separately (incurring extra shipping charges that cancel out the discount in most cases)

[wise ivy]

[final quail]

Me too lol. Hit pay as fast as i could

[limber laurel]

oof I didnt realize this

[opaque lantern]

time to not eat for 2 months

[limber laurel]

I hope this is satire; but for the others in the room:
serious note: if you are worried about eating or rent; do not buy impulse buy a merch tax'd backpack
invest that money into yourself first

[blazing wave]

Backpack shortcircuit is out on floatplane

[ivory breach]

Facts

[dry bolt]

people really do be like, should I make my rent payment or buy this youtuber merch, so hard to decide

someone else posted, if I get my car fixed I cant get the backpack...you don't have enough disposable income....STAHP

[ivory breach]

Yeah it's just a bag lol

[limber laurel]

if I get this backpack I cant buy $300 as much discounted recession stonks 😐

oh well

[blazing wave]

it'll be an antique in 20 years tho

think of the profits

[dry bolt]

profits for the guy that bought it from an estate sale or thrift store to flip after dying from malnourishment

that or society collapses before then

really its a toss up rn

[blazing wave]

in the shortcircuit it looks like you probably could

not sure how durable it is, but if you watch the shortcircuit on it, at ~4:20 linus shows the chest strap attachment

[ivory breach]

Do it, Idare you

[limber laurel]

I work in FinTech, but Im not that good.

[ivory breach]

LOL

[blazing wave]

Weak numbers bro

Sales have sped up since the FP post lol

[dusty merlin]

Not sure.. But duck it, im in!

[limber laurel]

ok, support emails definitely prioritizes "backpack"
I wanted to remove the stickers from my order to avoid the needless $6 shipping, and they processed it within 3 minutes.

[stuck torrent]

Might also prioritise those who placed an order extremely recently regardless of contents, just in case it's a 'oh no fix before it ships' situation

[dusty merlin]

I'm looking forward to it, had my last bag almost 7 years now. It has a lot to live upto

[final quail]

So, with 9700 bags and a supposed shipment date of “before September 20th” is the theory they start shipping long before then? Send out a bunch each day? They don’t have enough staff to handle thousands of shipments at once. Do they? I know this is called “back order” but is that just a way for them to ship 200 a day and keep it rolling? Or are the bags still on a boat somewhere?

[cobalt adder]

I imagine they will prep the shipments so it is a drop in and wait for UPS

[dusty merlin]

Fair chance they made port, so it was safe to start the orders.

[hot summit]

It appears that the first wave of bags has arrived, subsequent waves may still be on the boat based on what has been said in previous WAN shows.

[final quail]

Pile them up and cram as many into the mail truck as they can lol

I ordered early. Just hoping it gets shipped in the order received lol.

Have a trip the first week of October and I’m hopeful I have it before then.

[candid fern]

It says "by September 20th"

so they might start shipping them out sooner

as long as the last bits are before Sept 20th

[blazing wave]

Review from the future…

[soft cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/money-cash-digibyte-dgb-bitcoin-gif-17334249

Welp lets see them number go now that the Youtube video is out.....

[blazing wave]

Less than 2k in wave 1

I think wave 1 will probably sell out before the day ends (Vancouver time)

[languid breach]

If I wanna order the backpack now, does anyone know of a way to make sure I could get a 64 oz water bottle shipped with it? Or would I have to make a separate order? I'm asking because shipping costs are kinda prohibitively expensive to the EU...

Maybe @valid pawn can say something about that?

[molten prawn]

Anything ordered with the backpack will be shipped first. Sounds like that increases shipping cost with most people talking about it. No worse than making a separate order though.

[soft cliff]

if you order anything with backpack it ships sepertaly and your charged the shipping fees as if it was 2 orders

[languid breach]

That's too bad. I guess I won't order then. But thanks for your help!

[dry bolt]

I think the bag is probably always gonna ship separate because of the size

[molten prawn]

Just be aware if you don’t order the pack soon it will be a long time before you’ll be able to receive one. Backorders are through November at this point.

[languid breach]

60 USD shipping just for the bag

So yeah, unless the bottle could be shipped with it, no way I'm doing that.

[languid breach]

Yeah, but with these shipping costs I'll be better off looking for a good bag locally.

Plus, as far as I know, the customs duties aren't even priced in yet.

[stuck torrent]

Maybe in many months when everythings calmed down (and y'know, the 64oz is out) and they just have backpacks laying around like other merch they might do all in one shipping stuff

[languid breach]

Yeah. I mean, it's unfortunate but I guess that's how it is.

[ancient python]

1396, we almost there

1337 bag

[cedar oar]

I got the bagggg

I’m so hype

[ancient python]

as am I

[molten prawn]

I’m sure once they’re in stock on regular sale not backordered they’ll do shipping all together.

[ancient python]

stuff the bag with the merch

[molten prawn]

They might do that, I suspect it depends on packaging.

If the bag is sealed in plastic (I’d think probably not since they’re moving towards eco friendly packaging), they probably wouldn’t open it to put stuff inside.

[opaque lantern]

i was jk lol. but i indeed will be saving for a few months. no worries. im on the internet and have time to go on discord. im good

college student. u know how it is

Just work for the us government. They pay stupid money

tech companies pay even stupider money

[limber laurel]

and use COBOL

[normal tendon]

I got you, you start by getting addicted to either TF2 or Gmod. Then you won't have a any time to do school anyway.

[wise ivy]

Ah but the DOE pays stupider money

[limber laurel]

who is ballsy enough to intentionally wait for the last of wave 1

[opaque lantern]

[limber laurel]

[normal tendon]

[wise ivy]

Ye. Is stupid good how well they pay me to work with spicy rocks

[limber laurel]

I saw some people have like a X:03 email, a full hour ahead of when I got mine

[normal tendon]

I opened it on my laptop in anticipation and the page loaded right as it was available

[stuck torrent]

[limber laurel]

[wise ivy]

[ancient python]

thinking rocks pay pretty well

[wise ivy]

Yes but making nukes is cool

[ancient python]

[wise ivy]

No comment lmao

[ancient python]

[limber laurel]

[wise ivy]

737

They’re flying off the shelves

[limber laurel]

715

[languid breach]

I mean, just refresh the page very quickly

[wise ivy]

697

[languid breach]

You'll see if it updates every time

Still 697 here

[limber laurel]

when I purchased at ~8PM it was static.. so yeah flying off the shelves again, thanks SC

677

[languid breach]

Yeah, probably on a 30 second or 15 second timer.

[wise ivy]

658

We’ll get to phase 2

[ancient python]

waiting on 420 and :nice:

[final quail]

Geez. Linus must be completely haggard. All that work for years and he sells $2.5m in 4 hours lol. I can’t imagine how his team feels.

[wise ivy]

606

[ancient python]

well they still need a bit more to make back the BOM

[final quail]

Relived then “oh shit, we need to ship them all now”

[wise ivy]

599

[final quail]

Once mine shows up my wife might want one. So I may be good for two lol

[wise ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/uganda-knuckles-knuckles-oh-no-gif-11056773

[pine violet]

I bought two unfortunately

[wise ivy]

Oof

[pine violet]

One for myself and one for a friend as a Christmas present since I know I may not get another good chance

[wise ivy]

574

[wise ivy]

Fair enough

[true wing]

550

[wise ivy]

I’d get one for my dad. But he’s wfh now

[limber laurel]

hey that can be a long commute from the kitchen to the office

[magic meadow]

At the lan event Linus was soooo stressed when he was talking about backpacks. I'm happy for him.

[final quail]

I bet. If it flopped he’d be totally screwed.

[wise ivy]

That flight of stairs takes a real toll

[limber laurel]

that said I wonder what is considered success for them, since this is still less than 25% of their allocation

[wise ivy]

528

[pine violet]

I would imagine this is exceeding their expectations

[wise ivy]

I can’t wait for Fridays WAN show

[pine violet]

Same

[wise ivy]

Gonna be an hour and a half of “holy shit”

502

[ancient python]

wan show, 10000 merch messages

[wise ivy]

491

[limber laurel]

eh, I would expect a good chunk of the buyers would already have it ordered due to the SC video

[wise ivy]

Honestly thought it would go live friday

[soft cliff]

WAN Show said it was going to be today Wednesday for Backpack release

[wise ivy]

The WAN is only merch messages

[limber laurel]

and all the merch messages are a derivative of "lets gooo"

[magic meadow]

Impressive Wan show ngl I'd watch

[wise ivy]

I mean yeah. But I still expected it to be pushed back again

435

[languid breach]

I just calculated total expected price if I ordered a backpack to Germany including customs and everything. I arrived at 380 Euros.

[wise ivy]

I mean it’s what I’ll do when I can get the 2L water bottle. I’m a thirsty lad

[wise ivy]

https://tenor.com/view/dew-it-galactic-republic-palpatine-gif-21847982

Get backpack

[magic meadow]

That seems rather reasonable to me, an American, how does it compare to other backpacks in Germany?

[true wing]

417, missed 420

[wise ivy]

399 left in phase 1

[languid breach]

Well, most I've paid for a backpack is like 100 Euros?

[wise ivy]

389

I’ve survived off free backpacks

[faint zealot]

Would this mean Backback sells out within ~2hrs?

[wise ivy]

Spending this much on one was anathema to me

[limber laurel]

5/6 hours

[wise ivy]

372

[ancient python]
