TB Anticipation Syndrome

[moriond]

The L15 has been an excellent pickup but it needed a couple of extra organizational tools; same with my trusty TS and S25. USPS delivered a packet yesterday containing a Clear Organizer Pouch (medium), a Double Organizer Pouch (small), a Pocket Pouch, and a few Key Straps.

Sometimes UPS is kind and super speedy. I placed an order on the 28th, and low and behold it has arrived in the UK and it let me schedule the delivery for tomorrow on the 30th! Having been at home in bed sick for the last 5 days, it feels like a tiny, wonderful miracle. Who says retail therapy is a bad thing?!

Ordered my first Cafe Bag (med) and some more GW pouches, because clearly one can never have too many GW pouches. At least I can have fun test packing in between coughing and sneezing.

@allanorn, @sageeyes,
Inquiring minds would like to know the colors of your bags (Luminary 15; Medium Cafe Bag) and accessory Pouches. How else will the rest of us be able to vicariously share your experiences? (And get well soon, @sageeyes)

How remiss of me! Black Ballistic/Cloud MCB, and Viridian A5 GW to complete my all sizes set, and a Viridian Cubelet. OH! and I forgot I also ordered a Viridian Nik's Wallet #4. Sensing a theme, yes indeed.

Now I just need to restrain myself for a few months and then order the rest of the missing Dawn accessories to complete that set. Or, you know, sell some other things to fund the obsession.

Oh cruel UPS, now you're saying you can't fill my delivery request because my parcel is somewhere in Philly?! But what about those package scans from yesterday saying the parcel had been released by the customs agency in the UK?! Sigh...

Did you pay your customs fees yesterday?
I have seen this a few times with UK bound parcels.

I did, indeed. I just always assume it doesn't ask for fees until it is actually in the UK, so the location really threw me. Ah well.

The L15 is black/island. Of the pouches I have, the Ghost Whale is black, the double organizer pouch is island, the Q-kits are Burnt Orange and Coyote, and the Pocket Pouch is black/NW sky. All really good colors, especially the Q-kits as I’m likely to use those for things I need in a rush.

This never happens... but it did today: I had an order that was supposed to be delivered next Tuesday, and it arrived today instead! I'm enjoying my Original Halcyon/Island Side Kick a few days earlier than planned. I've been wanting one in Original Halcyon for quite a while to go with other bags, so I'm happy to get a chance to get one before Original Halcyon goes away.

Awesome! What a great way to start the weekend.

Mine is out for delivery today and I can’t wait to get get it. I have already emptied my black/grass SK so all its contents are ready to go into the new one. I fell in love with original halcyon/island when I bought an A30 in that colorway back in June 2015 when island first debuted. And like you, I am grateful to have a chance to get Side Kick in original halcyon before it’s retired.

Tomorrow is Grass day! I ordered one of nearly every item made in the color grass. I don't have many bags/OPs in the color of it so I decided I needed to stock up before everything was gone. Fortunately my work day tomorrow is fully scheduled so I won't have time to repeatedly click reload on the UPS tracking page to see if my order has been delivered.

First post!

I am very excited to be receiving my first TB bag tomorrow (Brain Bag). I was hesitant because I never spent this much on a bag, but after research and reviews, I have good faith that this will last be a very long time. I intended this bag to go with me to Canada at the end of the month, but I see a lot of use in having it as my every day bag. I ordered 2 Caches to hold my personal and work laptops (Thanks for Matthew R. for quickly replying to my email and suggesting a cache size) and a Freudian slip for test devices (phones and tablets). To round it up, I also got a snake charmer for some charger organization. To top it off, I got the red coloration because it's my favorite color.

I'm glad I am getting it tomorrow since it will let me try it out for at least 2 weeks before I go to Canada.

The more I use my TB bags, the more I love them. I have an S25, S19, L12, and SCB. I wasn’t in immediate love with the S19 and L12 when they first arrived. After playing around with them, I found the best way to pack each and now love them too. I switch off bags depending on how much I’m lugging around.

Thanks for the welcoming! I do have very positive first impressions but will be trying to spend more time with it. The Mars Red is the perfect shade of red. The bag is large but being able to cinch it down is very helpful. The cache fits both my laptops well. I enjoy the rail system in each large compartment. The cache for my MacBook is a tight fit because I used a case, but the fabric stretches, so I feel ok with it. Somewhat difficult to zip but a nicely padded sleeve. I will try and post photos and a review soon!
