Interesting email from Surefire just now. Special edition in Pink. I think a good gift for anybody that wants something a bit more feminine.

In the dialect of the village where I now live after retirement there is a word for that particular colour: it has to do with the puke of someboby who has drunk too much red wine ... :devil:

Sorry, it reminds me of this: image.gif I'm all for fighting the bic C, just think men have been overl@@ked for far too long. We need our own color. No, I don't wear the ribbon.

Right on!

Hey I'm not gonna lie. I'm a guy and I like that crazy pink. I like the Spydercos in that color with the shiny steel clips too. Let the taunting begin. Lol.

The donations are a nice perk but I think the color is fun.

Donations!? Oh crap! I thought that was a 2. Now I see it's a ribbon. Sorry, good job Surefire. Carry on. I'll show myself out. :whoopin:

Yes check out the website. The light and pen are offered for Breast Cancer month and some part of the proceeds are donated.

10% of the cost is donated. So $7 from each light. I just don't understand why they had to raise the price of the light? It's not a numbered edition, it's only "limited" in the loosest sense of the word, and they are probably making more profit to make a donation (ie, it can't really cost any more for the pink color over the black). Why not keep the cost at $59.99 and make the donation from that?

Dont misconstrue my words; I love my SF lights and support their effort and would purchase one if the color were orange. I say support all forms of cancer - not just the one that affects "boobies."

I tried so hard... :) You know what? I'm sure there is some bookkeeping involved, a different shelf in the warehouse, possibly different literature or packaging, (We'll know soon.) and other things that cost TIME as well as a couple dollars associated with doing a small run to benefit any cause. Glad they are making them, glad a portion of my purchase price is going to a good cause.

I certainly did. After liking mine as much as I do, Mrs. Scout will have this one on her keys. She appreciates simple, as evidinced by me, and it's not the typical black or shiny silver. She's a bit more careful than me, so it should stay looking nice for a while.

Awesome, let us know how she likes it. [emoji6] I ordered the pen. Lol. I like fun acessories and I think I'll get some interesting looks when I pull it out of my sport coat pocket. I get lots of comments on my Prometheus Alpha pen, so I'm figuring on the same with this. [emoji41]

Good one! Despite my underlined statement, sometimes one cannot simply say/write something without people taking it the wrong way. Besides, my real emphasis was one my second paragraph. All forms of cancer matter, not just the one used to sell a product.

Please be sure to post the packaging. Except in some minor wording/lumen changes, the Titan A and Titan Plus packaging is no different. We could discuss the other things you propose as causes for the cost increase, but this would accomplish nothing for the thread.

As as I stated previously, I support their effort and would purchase another A if SF made one in orange.

But would you pay the asking price of $70.00 for an orange one if the same percentage went to cancer research without specifying a type? :) Trust me, nothing misconstrued. I will happily post the packaging, etc. when it arrives. October is breast cancer awareness month, btw, and whether we like it or not, the time and effort put into marketing that fact makes it one of the most recognized causes out there. No desire to get into a wee-ing match over someone's business practices or use this thread as a place to debate the cause. Carry on... :sigh:

FYI, with the exception of December, each and every month is a different cancer awareness month.

Bigger picture...:sigh:

Because Surefire isn't donating the money, the buyer is. Surefire EXEC's are just jumping on the bandwagon as a means to sell more product ......... unless, of course, the pink lights do cost more to produce.

Why do boobies get their own color, when lungs and poopers don't? :rant:
