Love the Pick-Up Truck

[luvdabags]

Thanks for the pictures, @moriond . And for the info on the Monster Truck, @haraya . I emailed TB to see if any Mars Red PUTs were hiding away, and they said no. I will consider the Monster Truck once it is back in stock. I love the Mars Red-have a MCB in that color.

These were my pictures of a Mars Red Pick-Up Truck posted in December in response to @Walker ’s questions about this bag:





The Mars Red stock initially held up pretty well, when the announcement went out that these were being discontinued. It’s just that all these bags started disappearing once that happened. I was caught up in the Aubergine inventory issue; even though there appeared to be plenty when I placed my order, soon after the announcement, they actually had been oversold. In the e-mail correspondence that followed, I kept suggesting alternative colors that were in stock, but then by the time I got a reply, they would be sold out. This happened with Viridian and Black as the first set of alternatives, then with Island and Nebulous Grey — but one Island came back on Thursday, so I grabbed it for the email follow-up, and one Viridian reappeared appeared on Saturday, which I ordered separately (it just arrived this weekend).

Is that figment?! I hate figment haha
That’s kind of mean. I don’t really hate figment but he’s not my favorite. I eventually learned the ride was waaayyy better before.

I grabbed a Mars Red Pickup Truck as soon as they announced the retirement. Those things went fast.

I will chime in on the PUT love here. I got one in Dawn on a whim a couple of months ago with the intention of using it as a bag to pack my knitting, drinks, mittens, etc. for football games & track meets. I have since returned to the office and am afraid to use our ice maker, so I load it up with my SE, knitting and several steel water bottles with ice water from home. My phone goes in the front pocket and mask in the back. I can also easily clip my keys and masks to the o-rings. I carry it with my DLBP that houses my laptop, pen case, journal, SSC, etc. I managed to snag a Viridian and Black PUT for my mom & aunt for their July birthdays. If they ever put a few more PUTs out there, I'll buy them in a heartbeat for gifts. They're really great.

Also, as soon as TB stated the PUT was being discontinued, PackHacker posted a glowing review of it on their site! It seems like PackHacker is a big TB fan.

Retired and all sold out! I’m patiently waiting for The Truck to be restocked.

The Pick Up Truck is a near perfect road trip bag - got my chargers and cables, coffee thermos, and snacks all handy! Really glad I snagged one.

It is 12:43pm Oregon time Thursday July 2nd. Alphaviolet Pick-Up Truck is in stock ..... with the only a few left notation. Hope someone who wants one sees this.

There will be a Grass PUT starting its way back to the other coast tonight. I just couldn't get into the color given the price, but I'm sure someone with different tastes will love it.

I would so love the opportunity to pick up this little truck.

Definitely call or email TB, see if they can set it aside for you!

I just ordered the grass PUT. Thank you dear forum members for enabling my Tom Bihn predilections.

The Pick-Up Truck in Grass just arrived and I am smitten. It’s the cutest pop of color in my collection. Thank you, @setrombley for letting it go. Grass is what I would have chosen, had there been an actual choice of colors. I will be using it to carry my Solaris HLT when I can’t go minimal. Yay!

[setrombley]

I'm glad someone else is enjoying it!

(And I hope that someday the PUT can make a comeback limited run, since it sounds like TB is considering shifting in that direction for much of its product line. I still want my own...)

If they ever do a limited run of the Pick-Up Truck in the future, I hope they will make this in Logic Blue 630d (see my recent post about this in the In Praise of the Truck Family thread, and @sturbridge ’s follow up post).
