    Boooo price increase midnight sun

    Well have to say its pretty sad that it too a $20 price jump because they put it in a cheap $5 handgun case now. Wont be purchasing that again and glad I got it before this stupid price hike for something useless.

    The way I see it it's your guys fault for highly rating the product. I am not a Pro at this but I would bet when you compare it to few other cheaper products most of your customers will never tell the difference.I believe it's 90% in prep work.
    I was going to try it but not at that inflated price.
    This is just my 2 cents.

    I believe there is more product now, plus there was some fine tuning to the product line (BF)

    There is a thread over at another forum explaining all this
    “Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.”

    .4 oz more.
    No one has explained this FINE TUNING. How can you improve on something that was supposedly perfect? from what I see it's new marketing strategy.From all the reviews I read here it's the best thing since the slice of bread.Can you really blame them for capitalizing on this?

    It's the same exact formula. No tuning has been done to it. Everyone has been complaining and saying they won't buy again. Maybe that will get through showing what the people want. For this price now I'd rather have some dodo stuff or just stick to SSII.

    Todd Helmes offered that all the Blackfire formulas have been tweaked. It is indeed coming in a larger size, and its going back to the original kit design versus the refill offering which was a bit cheaper. Unfortunately everything costs more, even bread and jelly. Luckily with some of the great sales offered here, you should be able to pick some up at a discount during 2012. I remember when Souveran had to raise its price, its unfortunate but necessary and sure Capt. Max has tried to keep it as competitive as possible.

    Someone on AF made a good point. Likely that BFMS was cannablizing Pinnacle Souveran at its better price point.
