No shipping invoice yet, no. 
 
I opened a ticket asking about this, on 14th Feb...

I think this is probably a silly question, but...if we didn't back the HPA (Pulse X Infinity backer here), is the Alpha Prime "old friends" perk still valid?

i believe so. i think it's for those who backed other devices previously and still want to get in on the friendly pricing of the perks. my question for the LHLabs team is when will the alpha primes ship...in september with the HPA? or immediately?

Cheers. A tempting deal if that's the case.

Don't do it Mark, think of the angst waiting... and waiting... and waiting to receive them. Oh the anxiety!

Wait what is the old friend? I got an email saying to expect an email but....

Europe here; already opened 2 tickets and still no answer...

Alec66, I am in Japan, have paid the shipping invoice in January, have several tickets opened and closed (in the last one in the beginning of February Manny told me HiFiMAN is shipping the headphones in batches and that the cans will be shipped to me in several days) and still no word about shipment of my HE-560. I wonder why I am left in the last batch of headphones that are arriving from HiFiMAN after ordering them in the first LHL perk batch back in November... With March looming around the corner, wouldn't have been a better idea to have HiFiMAN ship the headphones directly in all of Asia? 
 
Honestly, I want to hit the Old Friends perk for the Prime, but I am weary about having the same experience.

Drsparis, read carefully the e-mail sent to you by Gavin. Basically, by using the Old Friends perk you can perk for the Prime alone, without the Geek HP Amp from the bundle, for the price specified in Gavin's e-mail. 

 

[pauldgroot]

nvm.

Redacted to preserve perkers chance to bag a bargain.

Old friends perk is Alpha Primes for $350? That's a massive discount from the MSRP of $999.

 

[nicolo]

It's not $350!! Gavin's mail specifically told people to disregard the price displayed on IGG. His mail gives the price of the Primes. Please do not share that here by mistake!!

Nope, that's not the actual price you pay for the perk. Details are in the email the in-scope people received. Tbh, making the details public would negate the benefit for those people who have "earned" it, and keeping it hush is a specific requirement of keeping the perk active.

 

[pauldgroot]

nvm

This is why we can't have nice things.

  Am I reading(understanding) this chart correctly?

It appears that vanilla pulses are 90% built and 85% shipped. If so that bodes well for me getting my vanilla pulse soon!!

I don't think anyone from LHL has said whether that percentage is of the first crowdfunding campaign, or all the total Pulse orders.
