    I got my shipping notice! It's arriving Monday which is pretty good to the UK

      I received my ship notification moments ago as well. A Black/Solaris Synik 30, Solaris HLT1, Solaris SSC, Coyote Size 4 TSS, variety of Ghost Whales and all sorts of straps should be here middle of next week. And my order for 8 inch snaphook/o-ring key straps and a 1" Padded Hip Belt in black placed last week are delivering today (I asked if they could be tacked onto my giant order last minute but was told no).

        Also got a shipping notification! First time preorder-er, got a nebulous grey/acuity SK, blue Paragon GE and managed to snag a returned (I think?) constellation/cloud L15. also got some swivel carabiners and a few clear organizer pouches. Biggest splurge on Tom Bihn yet! I don’t think I will be allowed to do much but admire TB bags for at least a year

          UPS is supposed to deliver my pre-order today. It would be really handy if they could deliver while my family is out. ?

            I haven’t posted in forever but my Tidal and Taiga bags just arrived. I don’t know if it’s my current mood or what but I have like every single previous Halcyon color ever made and these two new ones I think are my absolute all time favorites with Taiga at the top.

              What Taiga did you get? The Taiga Paragon marketing pics looks so good.
              Waiting patiently for my Taiga DLBP to arrive tomorrow

                  UPS delayed my pre-order until later today so I didn't get to see all the lovelies before the restock this morning... I don't know if that's a good thing or bad since, ahem, more bags seem to have fallen into my cart...

                  The whole of life is just like watching a film. Only it’s as though you always get in ten minutes after the big picture has started, and no-one will tell you the plot, so you have to work it out all yourself from the clues.

                      I like a Bountiful of Bags. (I think you’re thinking of “An exaltation of Larks”, etc.) How about “An Exaltation of Enablers”, “An Unremorseful of Buyers” (do they all have to be alliterative? after all, there’s “A Murder of Crows”.

                      I was going to ask whether all the mods got later shipping notices at the same (later) time because of the volume of their orders. I’m not slated to see to see any of the shipped items in person until Monday.

                      I agree that a few more items hurled themselves into my shopping cart earlier this morning. I’d passed on the Burnt Orange Pick-Up Truck so many times before (not because it isn’t a super color combination, but because I had Mars Red as my first Pick-Up Truck in that slot of a wonderful bright color for all-purpose usage), so I had concentrated on getting 630d Recycled Pick-Up Trucks in Logic Blue and Seapine. But you know how they stare at you and say “Pick Me!”? Or that Wasabi Cubelet.

                        Ohhh, Exaltation of Enablers - that describes a lot of us who, ahem, encourage others in this indulgence!? Alliterative versions are more fun

                        I'm relieved that I'm not the only one who thinks the bags talk to them and say 'pick me' It's like looking at puppies or kittens...

                        I have no idea how TB decides what order to ship the pre-orders, but I definitely was a Complicated Customer with several that needed to be combined...and partial orders that combined & shipped earlier when some things were available, so that made it probably even more annoying to double check. (Complication of Customers who require Consolidation and Checking)

                        The PickUp Trucks looked to me like they went live 8-10min past the hour but there were way more of them than I expected, so I picked up a couple more for gifts....and there are still Coyote ballistic ones showing.
                        Aaaaaand, I broke down and got a Shadow Guide 33 to see if it does fit my short torso. Restock day combined with a day off = danger.

                          My package is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday! I was very disciplined this time however and decided against further S25 GEs or Synapse GEs although the black/coyote was so tempting...

                            TBAS relieved till next round .

                            Monster Truck Deep Blue, Pick-Up Truck Dawn, Pick-Up Truck Seapine, GWOPs - 1 A5 Viridian, 3 Mini (Red Mars, Logic Blue, Coyote Mesh), 1 Super Mini Red Mars and 1 Mask V4.

                            Pleasant surprise: Logic Blue is a pretty saturated shade. I stayed away from Logic Blue because it looks like a washed-out shade of blue on my phone and laptop screens. It is so pretty in person.

                              UPS brought two things today! I think the forumites can guess which item didn't come from Tom Bihn

                                My first TB order arrived late last week. Synik 30, Truck, Side Kick, and some pouches and stuff sacks. Not pictured: a Side Effect that I’m planning to give as a gift. Love everything so far, though I haven’t figured out what to do with the teeny pouch yet.
