The Grasshopper

Mine now says September!

Damn, that sucks. Looks like they updated the preorder page on the website. New preorders ship in September......

My account still says May 2015 shipping.

But as mentioned, they won't have the updated shipping estimate system installed until next week

 

[RUDE BOY]

Why not just get a nitecore I4 at that price?

But yeah, looks like it should.

if they use Li-Po batteries in the GH I don't believe you wanna use the nitecore charger, could be wrong but i was told never to charge Li-Po batts in the I4 charger.

Mine still says May 2015 shipping for a pre-order I made in late Feb 2015. Looking forward to getting an updated shipping date!

If that actually happens by the 15th, it'll be the first estimated deadline of anything they've ever not missed....

Careful what you wish for, sounds like some pre orders are getting updated to a Sept 2015 ship date.
EDIT, that date may be for brand new preorders.....

 

[Gregori]

If it is in time like their update, lets wait till the 16 au 00:01.

@smokie when did you preorder ?

 

[Bradhend15]

I really wish they would just communicate more. This has been my biggest beef since I ordered in 2013.

I don't know about the I4, but the D4 has a mode for lifepo4 batteries.

When did you ordered yours? I pre-ordered mine at june 2th and it still says Estimated Ship Date for july 2015

 

[tr33sPlease]

Yea, I think only new orders are getting the Sept 2015 date...mine still says May 2015 like it always has.


Who is going to be the first backer to post a pic of their GH? Winner gets to use their's first.

 

[fft]

Just checked the status of my order and it finally got updated with an estimated shipping date. February 2014!!!! Can't Wait! It's so close I can almost taste it....

My order status says the same. I was a late IGG backer and added on a second SS hopper in spring 2014...and both now have Feb 2014 as estimated ship date. So I am guessing all the IGG orders are similar, perhaps as a placeholder until they get the order status feature fully implemented. That said, I also added on an oils front-end in early 2014 and that ship date also says Feb 2014...and we all know that one is not coming anytime soon.

I keep saying this, but hopefully we are getting close.

 

[smokie]

Mine was preorder from feb I think. Had the email about free battery so not so bothered.

 

[fonzerelli]

My order status is for September 2014. I am an IGG backer, late in the process.

 

[artist]

hi all!
same here, i'm a backer (from europe) since dec.1.2013 and my invoice now also says: feb. 2014

 

[Breathemetal]

wait this thing actually got released?

 

[Wzfbaby7]

...Why does everyone keep saying "xxx 2014" instead of "xxx 2015"? I'm genuinely curious.

Hrm, i literally got in on IGG within the last few hours it was open and mine states Feb 14'......LOL but who knows. They did say order # didn't necessarily mean place in line.

Most backers have old, un-updated ship dates. They should be releasing a proper tracking system in the next week or so, but until then plenty of people have shipping dates listed that already came and passed.

I was a backer and mine is still listed as Feb '14.

 

[JiggyJack]

if they use Li-Po batteries in the GH I don't believe you wanna use the nitecore charger, could be wrong but i was told never to charge Li-Po batts in the I4 charger.

If you look at the picture on the GH store, the label on the battery says it is Li-ion.

wait this thing actually got released?

I'd like to say yes, but at the moment "the hopper is in the mail". We'll know soon.

A $5 grasshopper refund mysteriously appeared in my inbox... Perhaps buzz worked his magic and the session extenders are now free?

Interestingly my order status now says partially shipped, makes me wonder if this is in reference to the charger or the stainless case...

 

[midgetsanchez]

Update: Waiting for that mailman guys...

Hmm that's interesting. Maybe they forgot they had promised everyone the session extender? I doubt that though.

I'm again curious about the ss case and whether they will be shipping at the same time. I ordered one too.

 

[fonzerelli]

As I said earlier, my IGG backing order says Feb 2014, but what I neglected to mention is that up till last night, there was no date listed at all.

So, either the new system isn't fully implemented, their clocks are screwy, or 2014 should read 2016.

[Mr Mellish]

Hey, @midgetsanchez, stop screwing around, get on your Ninja gear, and hunt that mailman down!

 

[pootsforjesus]

I hope you're ready to expect guests, considering Addison is only 40 minutes-ish from Chicago!
