TB Anticipation Syndrome

[bermudajes]

I thought for sure I knew which bag I NEEDED from this debut: an alphaviolet/cloud MCB. But then I though maybe that wasn't the right color combo. Maybe I actually need deep blue/grass. Or is it olive/canyon? And on second though, maybe I need the SCB instead. Or in addition?

I've been playing with my cubelets and color swatches all evening and I'm still no closer to making a decision. (I mean, my goodness, I'm not a red person at all but all the chatter on this thread has me rethinking THAT, too!) But the TBAS is still real because I know I'll hit purchase on (at least) one before tomorrow's shipping deadline.

Decided on a cloud/cloud luminary. I like the mars red and the deep blue, but I think cloud is a nice "goes with everything" color.

You guys, I'm excited about the Luminary right along with the rest of you. Actually, maybe more so, because it became available yesterday on my birthday My boyfriend kept asking me if he could a bag for me, and I kept telling him that what I wanted wasn't available. Then, when we were finishing my birthday lunch, I got the email. You best believe I ate the last few bites quickly! And the best part is that we are driving up the coast for vacation, so this one I get to go pick up in person. Can't wait! Let the anticipation begin! Got Alphaviolet/Dawn; excited to see how well Alphaviolet and Ultraviolet play together in person.

When I went to pick up my dawn shop bag, I had the opportunity to examine the mars/dawn MCB in person. After modeling it in the TB mirror and wishing I had matching ruby (mars) red slippers, I will confess, I just could not abandon that gorgeous MCB!

I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it!
UPS is about to arrive in less than 12 hours, and I know I'm going to love it!
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it!
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I want you!

When I open the box,
I know I'm going to want to love you, feel you,
Wrap myself around you
I'll want to squeeze you, film you
I just can't get enough
And if you 525 Mars Red, I'll 210 Viridian!

I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it!

@NWHikergal,

Happy to hear this, because I ordered this Cafe Bag color combination. I really missed all the true red combinations, and we haven't had a red Ballistic Nylon option since Cardinal was retired in mid-2013, with one, very last batch of Aeronaut (45s) made with Cardinal in February 2014 that used up all the remaining stock (see my posted answers and pictures in the Aeronaut 45 in RED ? thread from 2015). So, I'm getting my fix while this is available. (And I think that's probably true of @maverick).

@moriond, the new shoulder strap on the Cafe bags seems like the nicest so far too! The material is very soft and sleek in comparison to some of the previous straps, and I think it will be incredibly comfortable. I can't wait to hear your impressions when you receive yours, especially since you are a red aficionado.

i have been patiently awaiting my synapse 19, Black halcyon goodness. Refreshing the old bihn order status page like a fool. Ding, incoming alert from UPS. i open the mail, fully expecting to see that by the miracle of flight my bag would arrive early. But no, to my horror, my package is delayed.

I have no anticipation.

A box from Tom Bihn arrives at my door the next day, every time I've ordered, though I have only placed three orders so far...

So I'm stuck at work for another few hours before I can go pick up my A30+accessories and cubelet from the parcel office. It has taken in TWO WEEKS to get to Qatar. After I pick it up it will be at least two to three hours before I'll get to open it. I'm dying here people. Dying.

[TRD]

Oh Katcalls, I cannot even imagine. It takes a week to get to me and that's painful enough. Happy day though!

Finally pulled the trigger on a cafe bag, and I can't wait to get my hands on it. I'm so excited to head out around town with a new EDC experience. But does anyone else have this experience where the period just after placing one order is when other carry solutions in your life start to seem like they might do with an improvement?
I'm looking at you, Stowaway.
