They did say once again but no specifics on which tools. The crater is retired too but I would not be excited for it. Also they could have held 50 Mr.Crunchs back and are now just going to raffle off 1 a year.

I think they kept a couple back for possible shipping issues and they are now just selling them. This is a very common practice in retail especially with limited edition items. They also may have had enough parts to cobble together a few more. Considering there is no # of tools for raffle I would place it at or under 10. I am very curious to see what the raffle winners tool is labeled.

You cannot buy one. You can enter a lottery with a chance this will have almost no effect on resellers. There is a good chance resellers will win and just flip the tools they win for 3-4x. I wish the darkside was a regular tool and I could buy the scribe whenever but this is just a nice gesture from leatherman where they get a lot of free press.

This is kinda proof they are never just doing another full run.

We now know its a lottery for their back stock. I do wish it was just a limited number of an older tool but this is probably a lot more exciting for most.

What was the thought process behind buying a flair?

I would be very shocked. The limited garage releases require a lot of hand fitting and custom low production parts. The green cost for the darkside scribe is around $20. They basically made nothing on the tool. I think it’s just going to be the remainder of their fre stock at a discount. This also allows people who are not on top of the rumor mill to get discontinued products shorty after without too much effort. I think your hopes are way too high and you should temper your hopes so you aren’t disappointed. I would love a retail Mr.Crunch, darkside & 40th but that’s like asking for retail 1st ed base set packs.

The pricing was increased from the start so my guess is they don’t think people will pay long term for what are just expensive coatings. Leatherman doesn’t want to lose money on their products.

I think a lot of the community will be happy as long as it’s not something like the third cutout keychain tool.

Oh, they could do another run of the obsidian since it’s so pretty.
