[dusk timber]

yeah

[fluid totem]

I just wanna complete my backpack setup and have a place for my mouse and spare bs for school

rn I kinda just throw my Mouse in the big section with my KB and mousepad

[slender atlas]

I just want a little flash sale at a time nice to those in the UK/EU, say about now ish? 😄

[peak halo]

When the west coast is still mostly asleep? Good luck with that 🙃

[rocky wolf]

Received my dino tshirts today

[foggy sonnet]

It’s not that they didn’t reorder the stuff immediately, there are lead times, the factories they work with have other customers, need to source materials, and even when it’s done the stuff comes over on boats, so it’s slow going. Trust me, they want it back in stock just as badly as you do, they can’t make any money with no product to sell.

[rocky wolf]

@peak halo you were right the tshirt quality is amazing

So much softer than my usual adidas/nike tshirts

Wow

[fluid totem]

love how somehow people are still figuring this out

[rocky wolf]

Hey its my first shirt order

[modest shoal]

Looking at my wardrobe, I’m embarrassed how many merch shirts I’ve purchased for $20-$30 that are nothing more than logos printed on cheap mass produced blanks

Like Gildan 😂

And then I buy the LTT blank for $20 and it’s one of the best shirts I’ve ever purchased

[neon coral]

Anyone know of a way to make a precision screwdriver spin like new again?

It barely spins now that I've had it for abt 5 weeks

It's getting replaced by support for bad threadlocker on the bit holder anyway, but I plan on using locate and keeping it.

[lime fossil]

Now if only there was some reason to wear them

Idk about y'all but I have accumulated Infinite tee shirts due to how every event and company seems to toss them at you

But them also when do you wear a tee shirt? As a lounge around the house sorts thing I guess, so they don't see much wear

[foggy sonnet]

Look up lubricating skateboard bearings, use the same stuff and process

[foggy sonnet]

I wear a T shirt every single day

[rocky wolf]

I wear them everyday to uni

[foggy sonnet]

T-Shirt and jeans is my go to

[lime fossil]

I need my shirt pocket too much

[modest shoal]

I wear a tee every day.

[dusk timber]

well then they should consider a minority stake in the companies that they work with to be able to prioritise their own orders. it's not impossible to do these things

[foggy sonnet]

You expect them to acquire a stake in overseas manufacturing companies? The logistics and expense of that would be immense, it’s not practical for a company their size, hell it’s not practical for a company 3 times their size

What they have going is working

[dusk timber]

I am impatient and I know that

[foggy sonnet]

The underestimated when they ordered

[lime fossil]

The secondary market exists if you're that impatient

[dusk timber]

but it's all possible you aren't going to tell me that apple doesn't have an agreement with foxconn or a minority stake in the company

[dusk timber]

xD

[foggy sonnet]

You can’t even compare…

Linus Media Group doesn’t have billions of dollars

[slender atlas]

it'll always be better for LMG to underestimate on orders tbh. Yes it'll annoy potenital buyers but at least they don't carry excess stock

[rocky wolf]

Bruh you can’t compared lmg to apple

Thats just disrespectful towards linus

And co

[dusk timber]

he uses an iphone brokey these days right?

[lime fossil]

Nearly anything is possible. Very few things are realistic

[dusk timber]

exactly

that's why my expectation is that it will be there halfway next year

[lime fossil]

What you're talking about isn't realistic

[dusk timber]

xD

[foggy sonnet]

Also Apple is having so many phones manufactured that they’re likely running those production lines nearly daily, LMG doesn’t need, nor can they afford nearly that much production capacity

[dusk timber]

true

[lime fossil]

Although I'm in the minority that's not fully satisfied with the LTT screwdrivers

[dusk timber]

I complained years ago they should make a silver tip option or like at least let me buy silver tips for it

I hate that the coating wears off and the dust can go anyware

[lime fossil]

I'll use what I have and they'll be in my pocket sometime but they're not what I want to use, they're sadly just not that good

[dusk timber]

for the rest it's the best screwdriver I have ever owned

[dusk timber]

I strongly disagree that the ltt screwdriver isn't that good. what kind of work do you do? they specifically stated that the screw driver isn't for working on motorvehicles or something. cause that requires to much force on the thing

[lime fossil]

The precision doesn't store the same bits that my plastic ifixit can.
It also doesn't fit in my hand as well as the metal ifixit due to the reduction in knurling length.
I do like that it attempted to combine these things and it'll be fine and used sometimes but not as much as I had hoped

[dusk timber]

Oh I thought you were talking about the regular ltt screwdriver

I didn't try the precision screwdriver yet

cause it's impossible to get

[lime fossil]

The full size ltt is ehhh
It works but the grip is awkward, it's too small for me to get a good grip around I want but also too big for me palm like I do many regular drivers

The mechanism is nice though so it has a role and the bit storage is fairly convenient

[dusk timber]

it's plastic so when you work with oils your hands won't grip easily with them

[lime fossil]

The stubby I'm pretty happy with as it's small enough to be easily palmed

[dusk timber]

but for building pc's it's the best there is

[lime fossil]

Oil isn't my concern

Issue is I have freakishly sized hands

[proper shell]

Do we have any info as to when the flash sales are likely to happen, or would it just be speculation?

[lime fossil]

So they just don't work as well for me personally as they do for many others

[dusk timber]

everyone is different

[lime fossil]

Exactly

I do really hope we get JIS bits eventually

[dusk timber]

jis?

[lime fossil]

Japanese industrial standars

[dusk timber]

oh

after your review of the precision screwdriver I am not interested anymore xD

[lime fossil]

So the type of screw many of your devices actually have in them

9/10 times someone comes asking about what to do with their Nintendo device like switch or 3ds screws being g torn up they're using Phillips instead of JIS

[dusk timber]

does ifixit use JIS?

[lime fossil]

Ifixit kits often contain both

[dusk timber]

dayum

[lime fossil]

LTT only has phillips

[neon coral]

Some ifixit kits have iirc jis bits sold and labeled as Phillips bits, since they usually work for Phillips. Until you need to remove a stuck or partially stripped screw and you can't get the right phillips bit because it's not phillips.

[lime fossil]

That's a far smaller issue than the reverse though

A Phillips will fit close enough to JIS but easily cam out

[sudden fossil]

This might be a stupid question considering how long they've been out but do the insulated water bottles have a straw, or are they drank from tipping it?

Theres no photos of the inside of them

[crude hound]

its a spout, not a straw

it is described on the product

"Improved spout lid
A convenient way to sip from your LTT water bottle"

[sudden fossil]

oh rip

yeah I guess that makes sense. I didn't really read into the spout since most water bottles have a straw nowadays

thanks

[crude hound]

I would be shocked if you couldn't find a top with a straw that fits

[rocky wolf]

Shit a lot of the water bottle colours are sold out

[crude hound]

Don't understand buying bottles that aren't dishwasher safe

2 kids... No one has time for that!

[neon coral]

Might be the other way then. It was a big enough issue someone in a random homebrew server had me test with zero downforce on a switch rail to make absolutely sure it wasn't the same issue

[lime fossil]

Switch uses JIS

Using phillips driver in a JIS screw is very likely to cam out

(Note I'm retired staff in that server you encountered that issue in)

[turbid jolt]

Are they going to release any new deals today?

[cold field]

No one knows

I would guess they would since there hasn’t been any flash sales yet.

[turbid jolt]

Oh ok, i'm hoping for some sort of sale on the backpack

[cold field]

But they might wait till the weekend. A lot of items are going out of stock already.

[restive dust]

Well it’s 10 AM so deals should’ve refreshed by now

[cold field]

Last wan didn’t they say the day the keyboard deal was coming out?

[turbid jolt]

Thats what i thought

[restive dust]

Already?

[cold field]

Blank shirts are mostly out. Lots of water bottle colors are out. Laptop bag is out of large again even though it wasn’t on sale.

Just to name a few

[restive dust]

Oh shit the cable management stuff is also back order already

[rapid socket]

This is extremely annoying, I want to get a bottle along with the backpack, but the backpack isnt on sale yet

[restive dust]

Backpack is gonna go SO Fast

[turbid jolt]

Did anyone in here feel misled by the early access marketing image? To me it ment the backpack was going to be on sale for early access.

[restive dust]

I’m thinking they’re saving that for actual Black Friday

[restive dust]

Same

[dry harness]

Does anyone know of there are any ltt codes working currently for Canada? I want to get some things for Christmas for the family.

[cold field]

The deals were clearly shown on the early access day. And you didn’t need to subscribe early to get access

Also they had it all sent out in an email

[turbid jolt]

I was already subscribed, but i based my expectations before the sale went live for early access on the marketing image

[cold field]

The marketing was never for early access only it was for the whole thing.

[turbid jolt]

This is what i'm refering to

[dry harness]

Does anyone know if there are any active codes for the store?

[rapid socket]

I think it will be a spit to the face if they make the backpack sale a bundle exclusive sale

[cold field]

I would assume the backpack sale is a bundle

It’s on the bundle icon

[turbid jolt]

I hope its not a bundle only either, but i wouldent mind a Backpack and Tech Sack combo. As either way the price will be good before next year comes alonge, atleast here in the us

[cold field]

Hmm I guess that is then

[cold field]

Look at the black Friday sale page that is the active sales.

[rapid socket]

Yea I see it, but dang

[cold field]

My guess is the keyboard is bundled with the backpack. Since on wan the keyboard was in the backpack.

[rapid socket]

Tho they did say earlier here that the backpack will be a flash sale, no mention of bundles

[lime fossil]

Flash bundle when?

That sounds dirty for some reason and I can't figure out why

Just the word flash I guess

[turbid jolt]

I never partisipated in there sales in the past, but id assume a flash sale is a limited quanity or time?

[rapid socket]

Limited quantity

[cold field]

It’s been till they sell out in the past

[lime fossil]

Generally are limited quantity release at an unannounced time

[cold field]

Like last year during wan they did abunch and they would sell out in minutes

[turbid jolt]

oh wow

[cold field]

But most of it was desk pads so lower price items from what I remember

And maybe a wan branded bundle

[lime fossil]

Don't forget the like $15 hoodie drop

[cold field]

Was that wan or any?

I would assume bundles or items over $100 would take much longer to sell out. Since it’s easier to justify under $50 purchases for most people.

[lime fossil]

No clue I just remember so.E hoodies got fire sold and a couple people had their orders cancelled as they tried to order like 20

[mental onyx]

of course lmao

I would too if i had the money XD

[tall birch]

Got my Monday Black Friday merch order in today

Now begins my slow journey to replace all my tshirts with ltt blanks

[lime fossil]

Do y'all not get stupid amounts of tee shirts tossed at ya from events?

[tall birch]

PAX used to do that when PAX was good

I still have my new Vegas promotional shirt with the NCR logo laying around somewhere

[crude hound]

Not so much when factoring shipping costs. Pay $50 to pay half that in shipping when you don't live in NA

[cold field]

Yeah I would assume most of the items get sold out in NA.

Then people trying to order efficiently elsewhere get the short end of the deal since a lot of what they might want is out of stock.

But that is how things will end up working most of the time when the stock is the size that it is for LTT.

[hollow bane]

So this isn't going to be like last year where every day is a new set of deals? It's the current ones with some flash sales sprinkled in?

[elder ermine]

yup, seems like it

afaik theres been just one flash sale so far?

[hollow bane]

What was that?

[elder ermine]

bonus bin had free misprinted bottles

[hollow bane]

Ohh I see

[pine bay]

i concur

[unkempt seal]

not sure if I would call bonus bin a flash sale. they gave normal products away before like beanies and hats. imo a flash sale would be a hoodie for 10 bucks or something.

[pine bay]

yeah, but its the only "flash" thing that has happened

those bottles were gone within a few minutes 😄

[unkempt seal]

hehe yeah fair enough

[pine bay]

actually maybe it was longer than a few mintues, but in any case it was less than 2 hours

[restive dust]

So Backpack is gonna be a Flash Sale?

[pine bay]

possibly

[void charm]

just bought a mystery driver

worth

[pine bay]

yeah that deal for the screwdriver is pretty good. 43% off

[rocky wolf]

Does it come with bits like they usually do?

Couldn’t find any info

[slender atlas]

yes, it was confirmed on Monday when a bunch of people were asking

[pine bay]

that was talking about the bundle, but I would be extremly shocked if it didnt also apply to mystery
#lttstore message

[pine bay]

it also says in the description the included bits

[rocky wolf]

Thanks

[pine bay]

yw

[rocky wolf]

Debating between the two screwdriver bundle or mystery

[pine bay]

just got that in today's email

[rocky wolf]

Wow

Definitely wan show

[turbid jolt]

Good to know thanks

[rapid socket]

Yup WAN show it is

[rocky wolf]

Im gonna have to stay up from 1:30am 💀

[rapid socket]

Hopefully, its not a bundle

[restive dust]

When is Wan Show?

Like 5?

[rocky wolf]

I think it might be the backpack, keyboard and mouse bundle

Possibly

[turbid jolt]

I just checked my other inbox and i did get it

[rocky wolf]

I got the email too at 20:00 GMT

[restive dust]

I just got it like 3 minutes ago

[pine bay]

yeah i got it like 15 seconds before I sent the screenshot 😄

[split briar]

A small group of people may be receiving this email at different times since there isn't any urgent information on it- testing different send times on this one.

[rapid socket]

This might be wishful thinking but, they might have the backpack on sale normally and with a bundle with mouse/Keyboard, since I am assuming that they will have very limited stock of mice/keyboards

[pine bay]

super glad you guys are a lot better at sending timely emails than you used to!

[slender atlas]

drop a deal for all us lovely people on discord, go on you know you want to... 😄

[restive dust]

Also BTW does the Tax factor into Free shipping or no?

[split briar]

We're trying 😛 we know LIME day was a little messy when it came to it so trying to be on it this time around

[turbid jolt]

Are you allowed to disclouse anything about the sale of the backpack, like if it will be discounted seperately or will it be a bundle only. That way we can make an informed decision.

[valid jay]

is there any working discount code for europe?

[pine bay]

i don't believe it does

[rocky wolf]

Don’t think there are any discounts for any region

[pine bay]

lttstore almost never does discount codes. There is free international shipping for orders over $300 USD right now

[rocky wolf]

BF sale only + free shipping if you meet threshold

[valid jay]

well i found some working codes until i put the destination adress

[pine bay]

some codes that honey picks up are for specific people only, and your order will be cancelled if you are not one of those people

[valid jay]

thats probably it

[rapid socket]

Agreed

[pine bay]

probably not, but it would be reaaly nice to know if the backpack deal is an actual sale or just a bundle

[split briar]

all i can say is that if you watch back last week's WAN show, the keyboard was very purposefully placed

[vale ivy]

Can anyone share their experiences with the MCM solutions ?

[rocky wolf]

[vale ivy]

Does the MCM work well with the belkin 12 outlet power strip?

[void charm]

If it has power bar key slots, probably

[pine bay]

I don’t know about exactly that power strip, but I put the magnets a power strip, and the people who helped set up the Halloween block party were very impressed at how well the magnets stuck to the metal part of the table

That power strip is usually hanging upside down, and pulling plugs out of it, even ones that are pretty hard to unplug, do not pull the strip off

[vale ivy]

https://a.co/d/aWXFP2L

Just watched the short circuit to have some ideas

[cold field]

I would assume so since it is attached to a wall in some of the product pictures meaning it should have screw slots

[pine bay]

one of the reviews has a picture of the back

[paper mirage]

heh I'm like 80% sure Linus has used that same power bar in some of his videos in his old/new house..

[mystic sand]

Hello Everyone,
Do you know if the ltt checkout is down currently? it's getting a hold on my debit but not processing the order

I was able to get trough with PayPal, but google pay didn't worked either.

[turbid jolt]

So its only a bundle then, i think thats what your hinting at.

[vale ivy]

When will the precision bits and case come back

[foggy sonnet]

Soon™

We don't really know, but presumably they've been ordered, and are either in awaiting/in production, or on the slow boat over

[vale ivy]

I remember the precision screwdriver can drop in the ifixit case ?

I guess I can store it in the ifixit case if I gets impatient

Yeah LTT should probably have them in stock soon otherwise they miss out the Christmas shopping season

[paper mirage]

Its likely out of their hands.. Who knows what the lead time is for all of those bits and cases, plus the slow slow boat from China..

I mean I assume an order for more was placed launch day, given they sould out launch day lol

[low maple]

on the recent wan shop or some recent video they mentioned it takes around 4 months once they order more

[low maple]

was that september ?

[paper mirage]

Sounds about right.. but remember its not one item, its a lot of little items.. not saying I wouldn't want them to get them faster, but given how small LMG is in terms of order quantity I can see it taking a while..

[low maple]

i agree, their order sizes are super small compared to many other brands but they try their best to help customers from my experience and to make sure the customers are satisfied

[paper mirage]

Linus even said launch day when they were streaming selling the precision screwdriver locally and it was live on the site they had no idea the demand for the bits/case would be what it was.. they figured everyone was getting the screwdriver to pair with an existing ifixit kit, so only a small percent would want them.. what they got was more people wanted the whole package.. Helped along with I think most of us expected the driver and the kit to be more expensive than it was.

[low maple]

yeaaa

50 bucks for the combo was a great deal imo

[paper mirage]

It is.. I was expecting double.

80-100 was my original guess..

[low maple]

yeaaa

well hopefully it comes soon considering how many people are interested

[paper mirage]

I mean the important thing is that I have mine..

[low maple]

🤣

fair enough

i been trying to find on ebay and other places but no luck

[paper mirage]

With the Black Friday sales I'm actually surprised they don't just do a pre-order for full kit/case+bits.. just to get those extra sales, given they are coming anyway.. but Linus has said those are annoying to track so guess not..

[low maple]

true

also if even half or a quarter of the orders have them on backorder, those cannot ship till the precisions arrive

[paper mirage]

I'm just trying to decide if I want to pick up 2 MCM Starter Kits to round off the Room kit I ordered at launch.. I was hoping for something new in the bonus bin.. like 2024 stickers, or, well, anything other than the other two sticker packs lol

[low maple]

yeaaa, i think last yr they had the pins ?

quite a few actually

[paper mirage]

Last year they had lots of stuff

[low maple]

yea i have both the sticker packs now 💀

[paper mirage]

I got a Toque last year..

[low maple]

beanie ?

[paper mirage]

I refuse to call it that

[low maple]

mb 🤣

[paper mirage]

I'm Canadian. Its a Toque.

[low maple]

never heard of toque so had to google it

[paper mirage]

A Toque is what people who wear one out of Necesity rather than Style call it :p

[low maple]

lmaoo

oh yea i have heard it among french people in my country

[paper mirage]

Not even a French area here.. not sure if its Toque Canada Wide, only know from Atlantic to Ontario.. everyone I know farther west than Ontario, is from Ontario/Quebec, so they would say Toque anyway.

[low maple]

oh okay, i lived in europe but in the us rn

its too hot here most of the time to even wear any toque

[paper mirage]

It was 5C here today.. I was still in a tshirt and shorts..

[low maple]

🤣 the lowest it hit this week here was 10c

[proud ibex]

Guess I was pushing to hard

[neon coral]

is it stuck?

[vale ivy]

Yeah I just ordered a stubby, and two MCM starter kit

Gonna wait till the case arrives and buy the precision set

[unkempt sable]

Why on earth are you pushing that hard on a hand screwdriver. It's a precision tool not a drill

[low maple]

im kinda lost what did they push 😭

[unkempt sable]

You should see the shank

They've pushed on it so hard they somehow sunk the shank into the handle

[low maple]

damn i see it now

kin da hurts to look at it 😭

[unkempt sable]

Man I use mine to take out some high torque screws off the back of LED walls. And av companies always overscrew them cuz rich people complain about the slightest movement

And I've never come close to this lol

[low maple]

damn

[proud ibex]

I have found out that it’s for the delicate work, and that the 1/4 to 4mm is the tool I should have used

The Precision driver is able to snap back into place, I’m just worried if there was glue or something inside that I broke

[low maple]

does this mean its on its way ?

[peak halo]

Yes

[final quest]

Hows the status on the replacement zipper-pull-thingymajigs for the backpack?

[peak halo]

Everyone should have received their replacement kit by now, contact support if not

[final quest]

Yea I did not. Also from Europe, but yea.

[fallen light]

Me joining the discord purely because I'm scared I'll miss out on the backpack sale

[bronze sentinel]

its on friday

[fallen light]

Yeah but Friday is like 50 hours long

[bronze sentinel]

most likely starting at 12pm pst like the week deals started at

[rocky wolf]

I was thinking itll go live during wan show

They’ll definitely be something special during it i reckon

[lunar compass]

Contact support. They’ve been sending them out for a while now.

[reef tusk]

Contact support asap they are wrapping up soon, Linus mentioned on WAN a few weeks ago.

[copper torrent]

my sticklocks and Noctua screwdriver arrived and im happy

[rose bison]

Noctua colors are sick

[rocky wolf]

Looks really nice

[copper torrent]

Will admit I would have preferred to buy the precision set bundle but

The bits + case is apparently still out of stock

[final quest]

I wanted to order again for bf but it feels like a lot of products are either gone or missing, stuff that would be cool to me is out of stock and I cannot really get to 300 usd that way

[restive dust]

I was also thinking it’s gonna be a Flash Sale during WAN

[elder ermine]

any new sales

[slender atlas]

Doesn’t appear to be yet

[elder ermine]

oof

[rocky wolf]

24 hours

Maybe

Suprised we haven’t seen any new bonus bin items

The 2022 sticker pack is gone

And the misprint water bottle lasted a couple hours on Monday

[green holly]

Oh wow, that took a while lol

[rocky wolf]

I thought ltt were still making them luckily i chose that one with my dino order that arrived yesterday

Sarah did a great job on that

[green holly]

I got mine a few days ago as well

indeed she did

[slender atlas]

I just hope that not all the flash sales are during WAN as that’s terrible timing for this side of the world

[rocky wolf]

Same

If it starts normal time then its 1am on Saturday here

[green holly]

🤞

[slender atlas]

that would imply being on time...

[rocky wolf]

[mental onyx]

same....

[exotic raven]

at what time is WAN show? Eastern time

[paper mirage]

https://whenplane.com/

Give or take.. WANShow is rarely ever right on time.

[pine bay]

the bonus bin version is gone, but you can still buy it
https://www.lttstore.com/products/2022-sticker-pack-1

[rocky wolf]

👍

[proper shell]

Doesn't seem to be anything new today, and I know I'm not getting the backpack so there's no use waiting until WAN, I'm going to make my purchase today so that nothing else I want goes out of stock

[rocky wolf]

What you planning on buying?

[proper shell]

I have the cart on my computer (not at my computer rn) and iirc it's just above $250 to get free shipping. Main things are the tech sack, BOGO mystery bottles (40 oz), and some clothes.

[rocky wolf]

[foggy sonnet]

I bet they reassign some of that stock back to Bonus Bin

Wonder if we’ll see the 10 sticker pack deal again too

[pine bay]

I think they’re the same stock

Like how if someone buys a bundle, it decreases the stock of the items in that bundle automatically, and the bundle shows out of stock once of the items in it is out

[foggy sonnet]

It’s been a long time since I looked at it, but I seem to remember with the pins specifically that the bonus bin versions were separate items

I’m debating making an order before any of the new sales go live

[pine bay]

They are separate items, but it is my assumption that their stock is linked, like bundles

[foggy sonnet]

Because there’s only ~50 super soft hoodies left in my size, and they’ve sold 10 in the last day

So they might go fast when people start checking out stuff they’ve got saved up

[foggy sonnet]

Maybe, I remember with the pins they had to manually re-up the bonus bin versions though, they’d sell out but the for purchase ones hadn’t

[unkempt sable]

I finally got tired of waiting and just ordered 2 of them lol

[foggy sonnet]

I might grab that and a Tech Bro Vest but I’m a little hesitant as I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Tech Bro Vest bundled with something since it’s high cost

[proper shell]

****

Mystery 40 oz bottles are out of stock

And so are the regular 40 oz.

[rocky wolf]

Shit

Only 21 oz white and blue left that

[proper shell]

I have so many 21 oz bottles already it's somewhat absurd. If the 64 oz was available I might have considered that (I do have a 64 oz bottle at home, but its non-insulated). I ended up getting 4 blank tees to bring me back up to free shipping.

[devout hatch]

With Canada post being on strike lttstore making me shred the pants I wanted to exchange instead of shipping back is a little painful, lol. I heavily appreciate how helpful they've been otherwise but I wish I could've instead brought them to a donation bin or something.

[paper mirage]

Thats a shame.. with the low numbers LTTStore must do (generally speaking) I'm not sure why they bother, unless its a trend of someone at an address always having issues or something..

[foggy sonnet]

Was it a size exchange or a defect?

[devout hatch]

Size

Got something too big by accident

My usual pants are differently sized even with the same size label it seems

[foggy sonnet]

Yeah that’s pretty disappointing to hear then, that they required them to be destroyed, it’s just wasteful

[devout hatch]

More wasteful technically, to use a bunch of gas.

But it feels sus to just run through a pair of pants with my knife lmao

[stuck torrent]

Quite out of the ordinary from what ive generally seen (which is feel free to keep, donate, dispose of, as you see fit), but maybe people have been naughty since the support video that flexed how generous CS can be.

[undone socket]

Gettting LTT bag tomorrow W

[stuck torrent]

I grant I usually see defect replacements rather than sizing exchanges

[undone socket]

That’s true but you could go back and get them from the bin you put it in…

[foggy sonnet]

I had the wrong size of something sent by them a couple of separate times (actually it was the wrong item entirely both times) and they let me keep them, sweatpants I gave to my sister, and hoodie to my then-gf who likes their hoodies huge

[foggy sonnet]

But yeah I don’t think I’ve ever done a straight size exchange with them

[devout hatch]

The ones here you can't.

[foggy sonnet]

Here too, there’s an opening you put them in and once they’re in you can’t get to them without opening the whole thing up with a key

[restive dust]

Welp WAN is supposedly starting at 4:30 PM but given what I heard it's more like 7

[pine bay]

welcome to the wonderful world of wan 🙂

(lateness this year)

[slender atlas]

well based on that data there's a one in 52 chance that it'll be on time then... 😄

[restive dust]

Imagine tmr being that 1 in 52

[paper mirage]

I was hoping they were gonna add some more Bonus Bin stuff now that its down to one set of stickers.. with my luck the stuff I plan to order will sell out by wanshow and they will add more bonus stuff :p

[restive dust]

This is gonna be like buying concert tickets

[paper mirage]

Except I can't just buy double, wait a week, and sell it for mucho profits 😦

[mortal garnet]

they said there's a backpack deal coming riiiiiiight...?

[tribal leaf]

Reversible bomber jacket restock when

[paper mirage]

Backpack Bundle I think.. so might be a deal, or not :p

[tall birch]

Yes, there is a backpack deal coming. Probably a bundle

probably with the keyboard that was part of the initial tease

But that’s just a guess

[slender atlas]

it'll be a deal if you want that particular keyboard

[tall birch]

Unfortunately I’m a freak who has to have a 10-key

[mortal garnet]

Unfortunately I'm also a freak who refuses to use anything that's not a silent switch

[paper mirage]

Only bundle I ever got was the combo deskpad and mouse back on limedays.. not cause I needed a mouse, but because its always helpful to have a wired mouse around for emergencies.. sadly none of these bundles fit into that catagory..

If the free shipping bar was lower I'd consider the MCM Room+Stream Deck, but even then.. ehh.. atm I'm just planning on 2x MCM Starter + 1x MCM Large.. to go with my existing Room set that is good just shy a couple of extra parts..

[mortal garnet]

at least there's free shipping over $300 for us oversea plebs, I claim it's a deal either way

[foggy sonnet]

https://www.lttstore.com/products/abc-book-character-plush

It’s back!!

Looks like just the controller so far

[slender atlas]

I'm half tempted to get one tbh, although keeping it away from the baby will be a challenge!

[gaunt creek]

Was I wrong in thinking Linus said there were going to be flash sales all week long? Have there actually been any? Or is that a floatplane-only thing?

[pine bay]

only "flash" thing that has happened is a bonus bin water bottle

[mortal garnet]

idk I signed up for the fp only newsletter and I've got no news for today

[pine bay]

i dont think there was a fp only newsletter?

[gaunt creek]

https://tenor.com/view/disgust-ugh-nowords-speechless-appalled-gif-23500485

[pine bay]

just the regular bfcm one

[pine bay]

floaplane subscribers just got one-day early-access to most deals on monday. Some of them were not restricted to floatplane, and the floatplane restriction was removed tuesday morning

[mortal garnet]

I stand corrected. The text post https://www.floatplane.com/post/NBhxDU80tc only said one-day early access

[pine bay]

we at least know that there will be some deal (probably just a bundle) with the backpack tomorrow. Other than that we don't know

[mortal garnet]

wait there's a bonus bin bottle? haven't saw this on the store

[pine bay]

was

it sold out within an hour or two

[rapid socket]

are the 40oz water bottles going to be restocked at all ?

[pine bay]

im sure they will be at some point. Probably not before the end of the sale though

[rapid socket]

And the backpack will probably be a bundle, right ?

[pine bay]

sounds like it yeah

all we got was that the keyboard being in the backpack last wan show was intentional, so sounds like it will be a bundle

[mortal garnet]

sounds like bundle-only, from the wan show

[rapid socket]

Well, I seem to be completely defeated, I wanted a bottle and backpack from this sale. Seems like I am getting noting

Unfortunate

[pine bay]

https://www.lttstore.com/products/misprint-black-black-water-bottle

[paper mirage]

Its gone.. when was that up?

[mortal garnet]

I shall pray that the backpack remains in stock long enough for me to bite the ltt bullet and pay before the bundle buyers got them all

[mortal garnet]

wow that's the bonusest of the bonuses

[raw timber]

Any plans for the other colors of the beanies to come back?

[pine bay]

monday afternoon

[pine bay]

they almost never talk about if/when things will be restocked

[paper mirage]

Oh Floatplane peeps exclusive.. 😐

[pine bay]

if they do, its on wan show

[pine bay]

nah it was a regular bonus bin item

[paper mirage]

No I mean when there were only deals for the FP peeps

[pine bay]

ah yeah

[paper mirage]

Buying then for us normals would be like buying candy the on Halloween and not waiting till the next day :p

[rocky wolf]

Was there?

[slender atlas]

but you could have bought the v1 bottle lid for $2.99 and gotten a free bottle

[rocky wolf]

Thats what i did

[slender atlas]

and that wouldn't have needed FP

[rocky wolf]

Worked out to £12 for v1 lid and bottle

[pine bay]

wait really?

thats crazy lol

[paper mirage]

I don't actually need a bottle.. I just want something other than the one stickerpack for Bonus Bin.. since I have loads of both of them lol

[slender atlas]

I was tempted, but the 60 oz bottle is just too big tbh

[rocky wolf]

Yh lol

[rocky wolf]

I thought the same but i thought f it and just bought it

[raw timber]

Then did they say on WAN show if they're discontinuing the other colors? The options are completely gone.

[pine bay]

not that im aware of. Let me do a quick search and see

[paper mirage]

I have 2 40's abnd a 20.. 60 is all I need to complete the set, but its not something I really need.. just a nice to have..

I only got a 20 cause the 40 doesn't fit in my cars drink holder lol

[pine bay]

yeah i dont see anything on wan show about it. I just did a quick search so its possible I missed something though

[pine bay]

it looks like the other beanie colors were removed july 23rd

[slender atlas]

they've certainly said in a couple of videos about reducing the number of SKUs because there are so many

[raw timber]

Damn, thanks. Glad I have a couple colors already

[restive dust]

I wonder if they'll bundle the Backpcak with the Tech Sack

[pine bay]

almost certainly theyll have a bundle with the keyboard and backpack. Anything beyond that we don't know (and probably wont know until tomorrow)

[rapid socket]

Bro this has been a sad sale for me :C

I even subscribed to floatplane

[paper mirage]

😦

at least you get to watch the the extras and extended videos.. one day I'll sub for the full KallMeKris video..

[honest nova]

maybe a dumb question but wasn't there suppose to be floatplane exlusive sales for black friday? i know it's not friday yet. but sales are going on rn on the site for all customers. didn't see anything for FP exclusives.

[paper mirage]

Exclusive, no, FP got 1 day early access

[rapid socket]

the FP stuff was just early acess to the normal sales on Monday

[honest nova]

ohhh ok

might grab another screwdriver. i got mine at launch and accidentally ordered the all black version.

[restive dust]

Patiently waiting for the backpack sale

[undone socket]

Same I don't want to wait to the last day and lose free shipping

[paper mirage]

Ya if you're order is expensive enough the free shipping alone is a decent sale..

[honest nova]

i just ordered the precision driver. unfortunately they don't have their bit set in stock. but i bought this driver set years ago. anyone have an idea if the bits will work with the LTT precision driver? the product isn't listed on amazon anymore but the photos are for some reason. all i have to go by

[ornate moon]

Probably, I had that same kit before I got the ifixit one and those bits work there so i'd assume they'd work with the LTT one as well

[honest nova]

A photo of one of the bits

[honest nova]

nice. hope so

[ebon trellis]

Black shaft is best shaft. Wasn’t it exclusive to launch too?

[honest nova]

i got the all black chrome shaft. so i guess not all black, technically.

i mean i got the all black, but chrome shaft

[foggy sonnet]

Yes, they’ll fit

[foggy sonnet]

Yes, it was originally supposed to only come with a black shaft, but they couldn’t find a satisfactory method of coloring the shaft that held up to scratching. They released a black shaft version alongside the silver shaft because many were upset about the color change, and black was touted for so long.

[wise saddle]

I’m tempted to get a precision screwdriver not to replace my ifixit kit but just to have one with a few common bits stored to carry around with me since it’s small

[foggy sonnet]

I carry one in my pocket along with a stubby and an extension, only got the precision a few weeks ago and I’ve already used it 4 or 5 times

Both for work and for other random stuff that came up

[wise saddle]

If you could only carry one would you rather the stubby or the precision?

[foggy sonnet]

That’s a tough one, I think I’d say the stubby + extension because the precision can’t do larger screws like a piece of furniture, but I’ll also say that since I got the precision I haven’t used the stubby

[pine bay]

i didnt have an ifixit kit, but the magnetic screw holder is pretty nice
(thats part of the sold out bit set though)

[ornate moon]

Yeah I'm considering a precision driver to drop into into one of my ifixit kits, having bit storage is sooo convenient

[exotic saffron]

Have they mention if theyre getting more percision bit storage?

[reef tusk]

I have this feeling its been ordered, shipped then waiting for a strike to be sorted out

[exotic saffron]

Might be a while then, read canada post has been letting strikers go rather than working out a deal

[foggy sonnet]

The strike may not be a factor for them, since they’re likely hiring transport because it’s such a large volume all at once

[slate saffron]

I am considering getting the backpack and am wondering about 2 things:

1, Are the backpacks that are shipping currently free pf teh carabiner problem? are they shipping with the new ones? if so what zippers have the carabiners??

2, Are the backpacks that are shipping ones with a double bottom? or are they stil single bottom and if you go thru them you get a replacement?

bonus question: outside of these 2 known issues are there any issues i should be aware of before pulling the trigger? I cannot find any reviews form the last 2-3 months so no clue if there are any other known problems with them.

[peak halo]

1. Yes, yes, bag of holding pocket and laptop pocket
2. Yes, certified double layer bottom as per the description on the store
   B. No remaining issues

[slate saffron]

one other question. i saw in the ltt vid with the original launch there is a chest strap. on the store there is a magnetic one. is this just extra? if i dont get the magnetic strap is there still a regular clicky one with the bag?

[peak halo]

Yes and yes

Built-in clicky strap shown on the product page

[slate saffron]

awesome, thank you very much for your insight!!

[lime fossil]

1 they have the titanium carabiners
2 they have the double bottom
3 IMO they're not actually that great, they're somewhat small capacity wise because of how they use the space and how rigid the shape is, a lot of backpacks the 2 main compartmenrs effectively share space because they can flex but not this one so you can't put larger things in really

[turbid jolt]

So any predictions on what the price of the backpack bundle will be?

[peak halo]

Probably same price as the Backpack on its own but with a free keyboard+mouse

[turbid jolt]

Thats what i was thinking, so i'm going to try to hunt it down to see what keyboard and mouse it is then

[slate saffron]

will there be a backpack bundle?

[turbid jolt]

Yes

[slate saffron]

oh shit

[turbid jolt]

I happen to have it in my clipboard as im reverse image searching the keyboard and mouse

[slate saffron]

I think its corsair😂

[turbid jolt]

Well im looking for the specific models, like the mouse is the "KATAR PRO Wireless Gaming Mouse" which is $39.99

[slate saffron]

Looks like a K70 Core

[turbid jolt]

the K70 PRO looks closer, but it only has two led lights holes on the right of the esc key vs the 3 in the pic

[slate saffron]

K70 Core TLK

tlk is the one with the 3 leds

[turbid jolt]

Oh ok i see that now, thanks

[slate saffron]

no problem

[turbid jolt]

I think the backpack bundle would be worth getting then as long as the price doesent go above $250

[rocky wolf]

Do y’all think theyll be more items discounted today?

[peak halo]

I’d expect more deals as of four hours from now on actual Black Friday

[rocky wolf]

🤞

Hoping for a cheeky deskpad deal

And hoodies

[peak halo]

I own too many hoodies at this point

[turbid jolt]

When it comes to jackets, i would like to see a discount on the "MYSTERY COLOR BLOCK HOODIE" as the multi color one looks nice, and i dont feel like gambling $40

[lime valley]

do we think that when/if any of the other deals go live the mystery screwdriver deal will end?

[rocky wolf]

I hope not

[lime valley]

I don't really want to place multiple orders but there's litterally nothing else appealing to me about the deals currently live

[peak halo]

The problem with this year’s deals is I already paid full price for most of the things I wanted (or got them in last year’s sale) so I don’t need more of any of it 🤷‍♂️

[slate saffron]

im looking to get the backpack, pen and some stick logs. will prob get a new mk2 bottle lid to get free shipping.

so if there is a backpackdeal im instantly sold.

[rocky wolf]

Wow only the 21oz blue colour bottle left

[exotic raven]

I hope the eventual backpack deal is similar to last year's

[slate saffron]

what was the deal last year?

[restive dust]

Aite today’s the day

[civic light]

MY waterbottle is finally out for delivery, i hope it gets here soon,

[mental onyx]

Did we get any flash deals??

[turbid jolt]

As far as i know, no

[exotic raven]

backpack + windbreaker

[slate saffron]

wow, sick deal

[willow violet]

Does anyone know when/if the backpack goes on sale?

[slate saffron]

we think it will, we dont know when

[restive dust]

Mostly likely during WAN

[willow violet]

Ah oke thx.. That sucks cuzz im based in europa

[blissful jay]

I knew there was life on europa!

[slender atlas]

yeah the time delay must be a killer... living on a moon of Jupiter must add so much to the stream delay

[turbid jolt]

They dont specificly say during WAN show., so could there be a chance it goes live at 1pm est?

[stuck torrent]

The lack of flash sales so far has felt odd compared to previous LIME/BF sales. I'm not in the market for a backpack so that particular deal doesn't tickle me, but I was rather hoping to participate in some random smaller flash deal and mayhaps crack the 250 USD shipping requirement that way...

[turbid jolt]

It sucks the backpack is 1 cent below the requirement

[slender atlas]

throw in a v1 spout lid for $2.99

[stuck torrent]

The merch message hack that might also work here is to pad with gift cards, so you're not buying anything you don't want/need, although that does tie up the funds until there is a launch you want, which isn't super viable for everyone.

[foggy sonnet]

I’m glad you said this, I’m about to place an order for a couple of things I want with low stock before the sales start and added something to push it over the free ship threshold but I was iffy in case that item is in a later deal, so I’ll skip that item for now and do a $100 gift card!

[stuck torrent]

Be sure to report back if that doesn't actually work for some reason, as that's just an educated guess since it's historically worked for merch messages (or whatever they're calling them now I dunno if they're actually commiting to a rebrand).

[restive dust]

I actually had like 2 dreams about the backpack going on sale and me missing it

[foggy sonnet]

Worked no problem:

[rocky wolf]

Smart

[turbid jolt]

Yeah, shipping cost is only like $20 to where i live, but free is always nice

[foggy sonnet]

I went to sleep very late and accidentally woke up very early and haven't been able to sleep more because my brain is like YOU'RE GONNA MISS THE SALES

[rocky wolf]

Hopefully more deals in the next 40 mins

[restive dust]

God damn

[pine bay]

sales are starting

[restive dust]

Now?

[foggy sonnet]

Looking good!!!

Lots of half off

[foggy sonnet]

Now!

[restive dust]

Ah ofc Backpack is bundled with Keyboard and mouse

But I already have a keybaord and mouse

[rocky wolf]

Corsair K70 Core TKL Gaming Keyboard and a Corsair KATAR Pro Wireless mouse

[foggy sonnet]

I'll definitely be getting the GPU Crash Tower game now that it's half off

[restive dust]

And the backpack itself isn't on sale

[foggy sonnet]

It depends how you look at it, you're getting all 3 products at a discount, and a percentage of that discount can be attributed to all 3

But if you don't want the other products, yeah not a good deal

[restive dust]

Yeah I don't want the other products cause I already have a keyboard and mouse already

[slender atlas]

so now the game, do I buy the one thing I want, or wait to see if anything else goes on offer later

[foggy sonnet]

What's the one thing you want?

[restive dust]

Backpack

[slender atlas]

just the pen, I'd have gone for a tech sack or soft hoodie but neither are deal breakers at full price tbh

[restive dust]

I do wonder if they'll flash sale the backpack or it's just bundle sale

[foggy sonnet]

It's probably just gonna be the bundle

[peak halo]

Called it, $250 Backpack bundle https://www.lttstore.com/products/backpack-lan-party-bundle

[pine bay]

probably just the bundle

[rocky wolf]

Oh man only the dead pixel deskpad is on sale

[rapid socket]

So are they not gonna do a flash sale on the backpack ? during WAN ?

[peak halo]

50% off a bunch of stock

[rocky wolf]

Wanted the northern light one

[foggy sonnet]

The pin as well, $5

[foggy sonnet]

We can't know for sure until it does/does not happen

[foggy sonnet]

Hopefully it'll show up as a flash deal later today

Or Monday

[rapid socket]

What are the chances that the backpack bundle runs out before that happens ?

[proper shell]

****

Had I known the workshop jacket would be back I'd totally have waited until today. Plus it would have brought me up to free shipping

[peak halo]

50% off go go go https://www.lttstore.com/products/mystery-color-block-hoodie

[foggy sonnet]

They have ~3000 in stock, but we don't know if they'll stop running the deal after today or not

[green holly]

Someone asked about the workshop jacket recently, though I don't recall where...

Edit: Found it https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/1gob7sw/really_disappointed_by_the_discontinuation_of_a/

[rapid socket]

How can you tell ?

as in the stock

[pine bay]

i only see 1158 for the bundle

oh wait the backpack not the bundle

[foggy sonnet]

Ah yes that's gonna be a more accurate measure anyway

[restive dust]

Now question is: Do I buy the backpack now or wait for a potential flash sale?

[dark forge]

Oh wow, thats a bummer 😢 ordered the backpack on Monday..

[low maple]

Now I kinda regret not waiting but the stock might have run out of other items

[pine bay]

if the backpack is the only thing you want, itll probably be fine to wait. Unless this bundle is extremly popular, then i doubt backpacks will run out of stock super soon. Check back in later today and see how well the bundle is selling though

looks like blank t-shirts got a restock too

[restive dust]

Also does anyone have the Magnetic Chest Strap?

Cause I'm wondering how good it actually is

[craggy cliff]

Crap I should have just ordered the cargo pants through the week instead of waiting to see if any other deals popped up 🤦‍♂️ size 36 sold out now

[peak halo]

They previewed the bundle on last week’s WAN Show and it’s appeared in all the bundle promo images, if the backpack hasn’t shipped yet you have a slim chance of support cancelling your order (but they’d probably let you ship it back if you bought another one now)

[dark forge]

Totally missed that, backpack already shipped to Europe. Was so happy with the free shipping i jumped 😂 Dont know how much they'll like me shipping it back again.

[rocky wolf]

Yep seems we are live with deals

Email came through

Was thinking they were adding more

[peak halo]

They’ll likely add more during WAN which is why I took a nap earlier 😴

[foggy sonnet]

I'll probably take a nap shortly

So I'm ready for WAN

[peak halo]

I’ll try to wake up again at 12:30am my time

[low maple]

How much linger till it starts

[foggy sonnet]

https://whenplane.com/

[low maple]

Thanks

[proper shell]

How many workshop jackets are there? If im making another order today I might as well wait until WAN if possible

[turbid jolt]

Thanks for the ping, I grabbed two of them

So I can increase my chance to get the one I want

[peak halo]

Which one’s that?

[paper mirage]

Still nothing new in the bonus bin 😦

[turbid jolt]

The multi color one is what I'm aiming for

Or the black and orange

[rocky wolf]

I really want one but at the same time if i got the yellow one i know i will look stupid in it

[peak halo]

Oh the TechQuickie one I’m guessing, that’s pretty multicolour

Yellow isn’t too bad

[rocky wolf]

Black and orange is the one i want

[paper mirage]

Short Circuit is the most multi-colour isn't it?

[turbid jolt]

Personally I don't want the yellow one

[rocky wolf]

Will just order one for the gamble

[paper mirage]

I have WAN and TechQuickie.. WAN is much nicer, both are good though

[turbid jolt]

This is the one I want

[rocky wolf]

That one looks good too

[foggy sonnet]

Anyone know if you can use multiple gift cards in an order?

I'd assume yes but just want to know if anyone's had experience doing it

[peak halo]

I assume you can both order multiple gift cards and redeem multiple gift cards against a single order

[foggy sonnet]

I know you can order multiple

[green holly]

You should be able to, yes

[foggy sonnet]

I've done that but have not tried redeeming more than one

[peak halo]

Lots of cases of people buying $10 merch messages each week and applying a bunch of small gift cards toward a larger purchase

[foggy sonnet]

Awesome, just trying to plan my next move

GPU Tower Crash is moving pretty quick

[rapid socket]

fellas how can you tell the stock changes ?

[foggy sonnet]

So may place one more order before WAN

[rocky wolf]

Will be expecting more deals over the weekend or just on cyber Monday?

[unkempt seal]

maybe something during wan. but won't be staying up for that

[proper shell]

You can't have more of an item in your cart than exists in total iirc

[peak halo]

Also Shopify has an API and clever people have hooked into it to determine live stock counts

[crude hound]

Wan will probably have flash deals, aside from that , the deals that we see are likely the deals until Monday. They haven't changed any deal since Monday, aside from the water bottle.

Don't expect more than that

[foggy sonnet]

This is my take as well, being that they've been sparse throughout the week, I think it's likely we'll see the same over the weekend

But you never know

[proper shell]

There's at least 20 of the workshop jacket in small, I think I'm willing to wait for Wan before deciding if I want to make this purchase (not entirely sure what else I'd want to add)

[low maple]

same, im ok with either the short circuit or ltt one

[pine bay]

as of 10 minutes ago there was 67 small

[crude hound]

Sure but the employees are probably off on the weekend. They don't need to sell additionally sat Sun when they will do just as much during wan and the last day of deals

Doesn't usually work out on weekends

[rapid socket]

How is the backpack bundle doing ?

[rocky wolf]

Joggers in size S already out of stock

[turbid jolt]

I bought it

[rocky wolf]

People really aren’t wasting time

[rapid socket]

good stuff

[rocky wolf]

W

[proven blaze]

Bought it glad i held off from monday

[turbid jolt]

Cant complain about spending only $100 on the backpack once you factor in the value of the keyboard and mouse

[foggy sonnet]

They can just schedule deals and emails to go out, no need for them to be in the office for more sales to drop

By the way for anyone who's not seen it, Workshop jacket for the price of a hoodie is an INSANE deal

https://www.lttstore.com/products/workshop-jacket

[pine bay]

by later i mean like in an hour or two, but so far its doing fairly well

[foggy sonnet]

It is definitely worth well more than $60

[pine bay]

(this is on the backpack itself, not the bundle)

[restive dust]

What's that site?

[pine bay]

sales might accelerate though as more people notice the bundle

[turbid jolt]

How about the bundle?

[pine bay]

one I made
https://whenplane.com/lttstore/products/backpack

[restive dust]

Also keep in mind it's still like 10 AM some people might not be up yet

[rocky wolf]

Thats so cool

[peak halo]

Ooh it’s on Whenplane, this is good to know

[turbid jolt]

Oh wow, so theres alot of stock of it then

[proper shell]

Oh, it's an actual site. I thought it was just something you stored locally. Now I feel bad about asking a bunch of questions about the stock of things.

[peak halo]

I knew nothing about this site until today but I just googled “workshop jacket ltt” and whenplane was the second result, lol

[low maple]

Whenplane is made by @pine bay

I think

[pine bay]

yeah

[low maple]

Thanks for ur help !

[pine bay]

yeah, i saw search results for the workshop jacket in the google search console start showing up after they removed the jacket from the store

[pine bay]

yw 🙂

[rocky wolf]

The keyboard and mouse are available separately now as well

[foggy sonnet]

https://www.lttstore.com/products/corsair-k70-core-tkl-rgb-gaming-keyboard and https://www.lttstore.com/products/corsair-katar-pro-wireless-gaming-mouse

[slender atlas]

From the Dbrand video, the backpack deal is today only

[hollow bane]

I bought the backpack on Monday with the water bottle BOGO. Nothing else I really wanted to get the free shipping on Monday and the bottles are mostly gone now, so it seems like I had the choice between bottles and the Corsair stuff. Oh well

[proven blaze]

Question. Ordered a hoddie and i choose medium but more realising i should have maybe went large as wanting a more oversized fit. is it worth contacting support is that somthing that can be swapped before the order is sent?

[rocky wolf]

If you already have a nice keyboard and mouse then it makes more sense to get the bottles tbf

Especially that they are all out of stock besides the blue 21oz

[foggy sonnet]

They're going to be quite busy, so I wouldn't count on them getting to you before the size you do want sells out (if it's something that is, or will be on sale)

What I would do, is make your order with the correct size, and then contact support and request that they cancel the initial order, hopefully given the backlog they'll have, they'll see your cancellation request before it ships. If not, you can always return

[proven blaze]

i have other stuff in the order so not wanting to cancel. its hosntly not a massive deal if it cant get swapped as medium will be fine. i will try sending a message to see if it can get changed if not its fine,

[foggy sonnet]

You could redo the whole order with the other stuff, but the downside of course is that money will be out of your hands until they do get around to your request

[proven blaze]

oh yeah i guess

[fallen light]

Bruh I already own a keyboard and a mouse tho 😭😭

[turbid jolt]

Could always try to resell it

[crude hound]

So don't try to upsell yourself, sounds like you don't need it

[sudden fossil]

I recently bought the backpack in the past 30 days and ngl I'm not upset that I "missed out" on the bundle. Would have been nice but I'm still happy with my purchase lol

Can't imagine the shipping times for bfcm too

[restive dust]

Are they long?

[rocky wolf]

Will ship by 12 December if i remember correctly

So not too long

[restive dust]

Isn’t that for backorders only?

[rocky wolf]

“All”

However

The stuff i ordered on Monday was dispatched sameday

So its probably there just to reduce people asking when will my order dispatch

[restive dust]

I’m still gonna hold off until WAN to see if they do any surprise Flash Saes during then

[foggy sonnet]

It's very likely that they will

[restive dust]

Yeah that’s what I’m counting on

[rocky wolf]

No sleep it looks like for me tonight

[mortal garnet]

ah.yes

no sleep for us Eurasia bois

how much of a risk is there to the backpack bundle selling out before we reach the BFCM part of WAN

[foggy sonnet]

V1 water bottle lid is only $2.99

In case there's really nothing else you want

[restive dust]

Well you can look here https://whenplane.com/lttstore/products/backpack

[foggy sonnet]

Safer to look at the keyboard or mouse, there's less of those available than the backpack

[restive dust]

It would be nice for a Techsack Backpack Flash Bundle

[mortal garnet]

thanks I never knew such a thing would exist

will certainly keep an eye on the keaboard and mouse stock

https://whenplane.com/lttstore/products/backpack-lan-party-bundle

cool they can watch the bundle stock as well

[restive dust]

Oh boy if this keeps up it’s gonna be gone by the time WAN starts

[low maple]

It's prolly cuz they will receive too many orders , also strikes don't help stuff, so they said the latest us dec 13.

But yeaa mine left Vancouver

[rocky wolf]

Same

Only ordered a v1 lid and misprint 64oz bottle though

[mortal garnet]

contemplating if I should submit the order and sleep in peace or watch stock fall anxiously for the next 3±6 hours

[low maple]

😭

[low maple]

Ohk o ordered quite a bit (11 or 12 items )

[rocky wolf]

Im gonna wait till wan to order all my other stuff

[low maple]

Probably a good idea

[rocky wolf]

Don’t want to miss a flash deal or something as i doubt ill reach the $300 threshold

[low maple]

I didn't wanna wait for stock to drop 😭😂

[low maple]

Yea that's fair kinda sad the color block hoodie went on half off today considering I paid full price 😂

[rocky wolf]

I slightly regret waiting cause i wanted a couple of bottles but they’re out of stock besides the blue

[low maple]

Damn

[rocky wolf]

Unlucky knowing my luck the stuff i order will go on sale straight after

[low maple]

I ordered my bottle, backpack and screwdriver last month 😭

[rocky wolf]

Which colour bottle

[low maple]

Blsck and gold

[rocky wolf]

Nice choice

[low maple]

Yeaa

[opal jolt]

bought 2 mystery color block hoodies 2 days ago and now on sale

[low maple]

Purple one is kinda nice too

And the special edition Ines like the special linus one

[low maple]

Dang

[rocky wolf]

You hate to see it

[opal jolt]

and now if i want to buy one gotta buy 25 euro for shipping lol

[mortal garnet]

buy don't look back

[low maple]

💀😂

[elder maple]

$0.07

[mortal garnet]

It would be nice if we can have a posts channel for group buys for us overseas

[rocky wolf]

Oof

[opal jolt]

they dont care that much to do it

[rocky wolf]

Is there a minimum for gift card top ups

[opal jolt]

still getting mad bread

[elder maple]

I’m good for it I swear 🥲

[foggy sonnet]

$10

[low maple]

I think the cheapest item is a v1 bottle lid or the enamel pin

[opal jolt]

just add bottle cap or smtn cheap

[foggy sonnet]

v1 lid is $2.99 currently

[opal jolt]

beats the 25+ euros for shipping

[foggy sonnet]

Absolutely

[low maple]

Fr

[opal jolt]

if i want to get 1 colorblock hoodie its 50 euros lol, 20 + 20 shipping + 10 tax lol

[mortal garnet]

or get something cheap that has resale value.. like the random screwdriver?

[foggy sonnet]

Dead Pixel Pin is $5 so maybe more worth it for anyone who doesn't have a bottle for the lid to go with

[rocky wolf]

Similar thing for uk

20% tax 💀

[low maple]

Yeaa

[foggy sonnet]

Also not a bad idea, not advocating for scalping/reselling but buying 1 screwdriver to flip on eBay locally wouldn't be terrible imo

The damand is definitely there to not have to import it

[low maple]

Yea

[mortal garnet]

yeah I can't imagine it being hard to flip if one sells at cost or a minimal markup to cover the hassle

[low maple]

U could also get an extension shaft if u don't have it

[opal jolt]

depends where u are from i believe

[mortal garnet]

that is very true, also intra-eu shipping costs 💀

[rocky wolf]

Always better to do big orders for international customers

[opal jolt]

yep, 49.98 for me

did like 250 euros few days ago

feel scammed

my profile pic tells how i feel

[mortal garnet]

this dreads me.. is there a way to figure out how much UK import+VAT I have to pay ?
Though I imagine most lttstore items should belong in commodity categories that don't mandate a particularly high tax rate

[rocky wolf]

Itll be at checkout, 90% of the time you don’t need to pay customs

But if you do then contact support and they’ll refund your taxes

[slender atlas]

you will need to pay import duty on a backpack

anything over £135

[mortal garnet]

yeah I doubt UK customs are fine letting a >US$300 parcel through

[foggy sonnet]

It should be collected during checkout

[low maple]

Whatever u pay ltt will refund after u send the receipt

[slender atlas]

no, VAT is paid to LTT, not import duty

[foggy sonnet]

https://www.lttstore.com/pages/customs-duty-fees

[rocky wolf]

Idk if theyve changed it last couple months cause my order was over £135 and i didn’t have to pay customs

[slender atlas]

covered in the first paragraph, customers pay duty fees

[lime fossil]

I hope the workshop jacket fits well

[mortal garnet]

Thanks that explains very clearly

[rocky wolf]

Depends on whos checking the parcels that shift i suppose

[rapid socket]

fellas are the bottles coming back ?

[lime fossil]

Anyone have one and have guidance on other things that fit well?

[elder maple]

seeing the water bottles are BOGO but there’s only one size and color way in stock 🤦🏻‍♂️

[opal jolt]

i have the shortcircuit hoodie if it matters anything to u

im 192cm and 84kg got L and fits quite nicely

[rocky wolf]

They sold out really quick

[mortal garnet]

very true, I have seen parcels with very cough interesting cough contents through Coventry

[rocky wolf]

Aye

Coventry though

[lime fossil]

Thanks so probably mostly comparable to other sizing

[mortal garnet]

in the sense that most int'l post parcels to southeast UK go though customs in Coventry... I should have said UK Customs

[opal jolt]

yeah

[slender atlas]

size guide has the workshop jacket slightly larger around the chest than the hoodies

[rocky wolf]

Didn’t know that, my LTT orders went through Heathrow and so did a lot of other stuff i order from abroad

[slender atlas]

yeah mine was Heathrow then directly to my local depot, which is round the corner to that any way

[mortal garnet]

Interesting, I had parcels big and small, although most from the EU / Asia, that had a 100% rate of being shuffled up Coventry before delivered in London

[mortal garnet]

Nice to have one less detour for your parcels.. I wish my parcels don't have to spend 1~3 days in Coventry

[unique siren]

I've had to pay custom fees in the UK once, now gotta see on order num 4 🙂

[rapid socket]

I wanna pull the trigger on the backpack, its such a good value

[unique siren]

Yeah I just convinced my brother to pay me back for the keyboard and mouse

[rapid socket]

But I am holding out just incase bottles come back in stock, is that even possible ?

[unique siren]

I really doubt it

[mortal garnet]

I doubt they are holding some stock back for the WAN show... there's little gain for them to do that

new deals perhaps, restock sounds unlikely

[rapid socket]

Yea that make sense, I will pull the trigger

[mortal garnet]

Whoops accidental extra month of FP for me

[astral vortex]

got my dbrand ghost 2.0 case today.
Not LTT merch, but close

[mortal garnet]

geographically close

[rocky wolf]

Very unDbrand email

[rocky wolf]

Whats that for?

[pine bay]

the backpack

[rocky wolf]

[pine bay]

they mean the size of the pockets, but kinda funny out of context

[mortal garnet]

I'd love a 3½" dimension pocket

only a little off from a 4th dimension one

[restive dust]

Well backpack sales just ramped up

[restive dust]

There's still a lot left but it'll probably be gone by end of today

[undone socket]

Anyone need a mouse?

[mental onyx]

Too bad there isnt one just for th Backpack

[wise saddle]

Any chance we see a different backpack bundle/sale or is this kbm bundle the only one?

[undone socket]

I don't think it will

[undone socket]

ikkkk

[foggy sonnet]

There's always a chance, but it doesn't seem likely

[restive dust]

There'll most likely be flash sale during WAN

[rocky wolf]

Hope we get more info about the commuter backpack

[undone socket]

Just sell the keyboard and mouse BOOm cheaper ltt bag

[wise saddle]

Yea I’ll prob just sell them

I don’t think I need them but idrk anything about them

[undone socket]

That's my plan for the keyboard

[rapid socket]

I will sell em both

Worst case scenario I get $100 for both

which is still great

[undone socket]

Yeah

[mental onyx]

Why is my Shipping as much as the Hoodie 😢

[undone socket]

But Chrismis is coming so prices shoudl be mooore

[wise saddle]

Decent looking keyboard but no wrist rest is kinda lame so I prob won’t use it

[rapid socket]

its ok I can wait a month to sell

[mental onyx]

Send it over here 😄

[wise saddle]

It seems to be fairly similar to the one I have just no screen and no actuation adjustment

I’ve been wanting a detachable cable tho

Hmm

[restive dust]

I would think about selling but that also seems like a pain to go through

[rapid socket]

I mean you are gonna be selling it as brand new, lets say for $20 less each

[wraith minnow]

man the deals are mid for us EU ppl lmfao

[undone socket]

For me it was cheaper to get a mousepad then pay for the shipping

lol

.01$ a way for free shipping

[pine bay]

the bundle will almost certainly sell out before the backpack does, and once that happens sales of the backpack will probably slow down

[rapid socket]

ey quick question didnt ltt give a free beanie before as a bonus bin item ?

[foggy sonnet]

Yes

[pine bay]

that was a one-time thing

i think that was last year black friday? I could be wrong though

[rapid socket]

oh I see, so no chance of bringing that back huh

[foggy sonnet]

Lime Day last year

[rocky wolf]

Maybe they’ll be something cool today

[foggy sonnet]

We won't know until they do/don't announce such a deal

[foggy sonnet]

There very likely will be some cool lower volume stuff during WAN

[unkempt sable]

Shipping do be a lot for some reason, but as they ship more they should get better rates. Like I ship so much with FedEx through my company that the discount is... Insane to say the least

[restive dust]

Bundle got like 4 hours left until stock runs out so it’s gone by the time WAN starts

[rapid socket]

Yea its going out at rate of approx 100 per hour

more even, close to 150

[restive dust]

Imagine Linus and Luke just dedicate a section of WAN to just reading merch messages

Caude you know there’s gonna be a ton

[pine bay]

i mean, they already do that

thats what wan after dark is

[restive dust]

Ah

I’ve never watched it live

[pine bay]

i hope dan gets a helper for tonight, beacuse if not then his fingers might fall off 😄

[restive dust]

Only from LMG clips

[wise saddle]

I don’t know if I should order now or wait till WAN

[rocky wolf]

I hope they do wan sale a bit early in the show

Don’t really want to be up at 3/4 am

[pine bay]

depends on what you want

[peak halo]

Got my bonus bin Beanie last Cyber Monday

[peak halo]

I suspect Chewie will lend a hand

[proper shell]

Is there any way other than trial and error to know how much I can put in an order before the shipping cost goes up?

[peak halo]

Shipping cost is (usually) determined by weight, doesn’t hurt to proceed to checkout after adding and removing something from your cart each time and just backing out

[crude hound]

Oh wow those mysery screwdrivers are going to be gone soon

Thought I had time to wait for the show

[proper shell]

Just getting the workshop jacket (small) has ~$10 shipping, adding a mystery color block increases it to ~$20. I seem to be able to add small things (pins, lanyards, stickers, etc) without increasing the cost, but any clothing bumps the cost up a tier.

[wise saddle]

Backpack

[fallen light]

You'll just have to spend $300 then duh

[pine bay]

The bundle or the individual?

[wise saddle]

Would prefer individual

Maybe with a tech sack or something

[proper shell]

US based, so $250. Which I already spent yesterday, and even then I had to get some things I wasn't as confident about getting to get me over the line.

[pine bay]

Good. The bundle will sell out before the individual backpack

[wise saddle]

Yea but the individual isn’t on sale

[crude hound]

Why would you not just buy the bundle

[fallen light]

im just seling the keyboard and mouse

[wise saddle]

I might I’m just wondering if they might do a non bundle sale later

[pine bay]

we don't know if there will be a sale on the backpack by itself. I highly doubt there will be

[wraith minnow]

"just" my man im a broke ass student on internship wages

[crude hound]

The keyboard and mouse if you sell it would be a better value that whatever sale the backup goes on

[wise saddle]

Unless they do a backpack/tech sack bundle

[crude hound]

Lots of ifs

[wraith minnow]

i could afford it when it was a threshold at like 150 for LIME day but 300 i can't LMFAO

[fallen light]

Fr sell kb&m for $100 = $100 discount on backpack

[mental onyx]

Why dont theyy have it yet 🥲

[unkempt sable]

I'm not entirely sure they ship enough, it's a relatively small company. To hit those massive FedEx esque discounts were talking hundreds of shipments a day both freight and parcel

LTT punches above their weight for sure but in a carrier companies eyes, volume is all that matters

[peak halo]

Hoodies are heavy

[crude hound]

Lol that's my point

[wise saddle]

Assuming I can actually sell it

[peak halo]

Still holding out for $100+ free shipping come Monday, depending on tonight’s flash deals

[crude hound]

100 for a 150 value is an easy sell for a brand new in box item

It's not second hand

[peak halo]

Gonna take my second nap of the day to try to catch WAN live

[rocky wolf]

2-3 hour nap?

[peak halo]

Easy

[rocky wolf]

NOOOOO

the joggers are sold out in M

[mortal garnet]

Considering WAN is never early, I should probably take a nap too

Looks like the backpack bundle sales have slowed down in the past 2 hours

[undone socket]

Watch there be a HUGE sale on stuff during Wan

I hope not

[restive dust]

There will likely be

[rocky wolf]

I hope so

[undone socket]

Cause I just bought the bag

[undone socket]

We will see

[restive dust]

I was thinking of getting the Backpack and Sack

[undone socket]

Backpack deal rn is good

[rocky wolf]

Tech sack is 1000% worth it

[undone socket]

But wait for WAN see if there’s an other sell

[restive dust]

But I also already have a better Keyboard and Mouse

And it’s kinda a pain to go through the process of reselling

[undone socket]

Sell the once’s that come with the deal

[rocky wolf]

I would have considered the bag bundle but its gonna be a weird one cause the keyboard won’t be UK layout

[undone socket]

Hey! Pay for orignal price or pay orignal price and get 200$ CAD worth of stuff

[undone socket]

True

[rocky wolf]

Makes reselling it in future difficult as well

Cause no one would really want it

[undone socket]

EBay is a option

But shipping is

[wise saddle]

How strong is the standard MCM plate? I need to stick a giant power bar to the bottom or side of my desk and I’m wondering if I need the VHB

[undone socket]

I’m going to have a full collection of stuff from LTT backpack, sack, computer case

[peak halo]

Computer case? From LTX?

[wise saddle]

Maybe he means laptop bag?

[undone socket]

No the laptop bag

[peak halo]

Ahh

[undone socket]

All I need is a screwdriver

[peak halo]

Screwdriver bundle is a good deal, dunno if the mystery screwdriver deal is sold out or not

[undone socket]

Not yet

[rocky wolf]

You gonna go for mystery or bundle

Mystery is still in stock

For now

[undone socket]

I spent so much money today can’t afford.

[rocky wolf]

Ffs 2 of the things i wanted are out of stock

[slender atlas]

bottles seem to be out of stock now

[undone socket]

I got a mousepad with my order to get over the 250$ free shipping

[undone socket]

I’m sad about that

[foggy sonnet]

Don't quote me on this but I thought the intention for the standard plate was that it's just sticky to make it easy to align before screwing it in

And the VHB should be used to actually permanently affix it in place without screws

Not to say that you probably couldn't use the standard if you have a good enough surface

[wise saddle]

I think it’s both

Some photos show screws and some don’t

I just don’t know if it’s strong enough or worth never being able to remove it if I go VHB

[wraith minnow]

ehh i think most people who buy mech kb's like ANSI more anyways

and you can always remap keys etc

[mortal garnet]

||good riddance imo, come at me|| I'm sure there's a faction of UK keyboard users that are perfectly fine with an ANSI layout

[rocky wolf]

Good point

Iv personally never used a keyboard with ansi layout

[wraith minnow]

you sure?

iso is the one with the humongous enter

[slender atlas]

why would anyone want to use the ansi layout, it's just bad. ISO layout is the right one clearly
