We had originally planned on placing the GB order on Feb. 5th.
It's been pretty popular for 1st group buy, so were going to go ahead and place our order on Feb. 3rd.
This will allow time to complete the build and have them sent to us before the Chinese new year holiday.
If anyone else wants to get in on this group buy, place your order before 7:00pm on Wednesday. Our 2nd group buy will start right after our 1st is completed, with an expected order placement date around March 1st.

bootleg2go · 02-09-2010, 03:00 PM

UPDATE:
We were informed that our current group buy order will be completed and sent to us before the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday which begins on the 11th, so it won't be as long a wait as was expected. Should have them soon. Estimated delivery date to your door is around the 19th give or take a day.

The next group buy starts now, I just need to update the date of the next order placement on the webpage.

Hi Survivor,
If you read the top of this thread and go to our GB page shown in the link provided, I think it explains pretty well how it works.

The GB lasers are in test right now and if you're interested, I ordered a couple extra 500mw units just in case and one of them is avilable for purchase.

bootleg2go · 02-23-2010, 04:08 PM

Group Buy #1 is completed and the last lasers were shipped to their new owners on 2/22.
Group Buy #2 starts now, details are in the 1st post of this thread.

Crap!

I just bought an RPL 350mW 532nm just a few weeks ago from Jack.
I wish I was psychic and would have waited.
sigh..

I wouldn't worry about it, your RPL 350 is a much better laser than the GB lasers, you get what you pay for.

Jack,

Would you offer any kind of trade in if we want to upgrade to an rpl later?

Hi Gotwake424,
As mentioned in the details of the GB on the ordering webpage, these are not part of our upgrade program, but at the low price these are being offered it wouldn't be too difficult for the buyer to resell their GB laser on the forum if they decided they needed even more power.

darklandz · 03-12-2010, 02:33 AM

WOW an Optotronics GB???
are there any Blue RPL's on offer here???

Optotronics is hosting the GB, but these GB units are not RPLs. See --> http://laserpointerforums.com/f44/what-rpl-mean-48957.html

So your 500mW "peak" Viasho puts out 400mW stable... . Not bad

- I would love to see a few more reviews to see what the "average" looks like... !

Those of you who took part in the GB - please post your stable values (if known), thanks
