Ordered 3 when I got the text alert this afternoon. The alien green ones I got the previous release are always attention grabbers at the range.
Wish I still had my original release light blue ones. Traded the 2 I had for an Aero Freedom upper/lower set about 2 years or so ago. |

I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me and say "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.

Tempting especially since orange is my favorite color.

gunmagwarehouse seems to have them as well.

I missed the greens so I picked up a few of these
|

Any chance that you might be willing to sell a robins blue or alien green mag? Figured it couldn’t hurt to ask
|

Ordered half a dozen last week, and they showed up this afternoon.
Now they just need to make a yellow one. Then I'll have red, orange, green, purple, and yellow. People at the range can just start calling me "Skittles". |

Orange is my favorite color, but I’m struggling to come up with a use for these…

I stopped using generic black pmags or USGI at public ranges as I have had some grow legs and walk off. It was really bad after the 1st Obama election when mags were skyrocketing in price. I use my odd ball colored mags as public range mags now. And Lancers are my go to mag. So I know they are 100%. |

Just ordered my 8 orange Lancers...they'll look good with my orange Thermolds and orange PMags.
I wished I would've paid more attention to when they had the alien green and red Lancers though. |

I've heard some folks have issues with Botach, but I've never had any problems besides slow shipping.
Just a heads up: blaze orange Lancers are a few bucks cheaper there, I just ordered a few Botach Blaze Orange Lancers |

Any of you use your special Lancers? I bought some purples a while back and they just sit in the bags, unused. I guess you can still get those, however.
Orange mags are cool. Maybe they count towards your blaze orange during hunting season. |

I saw an alien green going for 105 bones with some time left (I think it was on gun broker). I only have 1 (I should have ordered more), but I don't think im going to get into a bidding war for another. |

Orange mags are cool. Maybe they count towards your blaze orange during hunting season. View Quote I only use their 300blk specific mags when shooting subs. They're awesome mags. Zero issues, and no chance of mixing them up with my 556 magazines. I have 5 orange mags currently. I prefer to shoot outdoors, so I may end up using some of these for identification purposes. I can't tell you how many times I've had to look 5+ minutes to try and find a FDE colored mag in dirt. Even black can be tricky sometimes. I wonder of the purples would be as easy to indenify as the orange ones. |

I know this is totally nitpicking, but I'd like to see Lancer do some more colors for their regular line, with matching baseplates, vs. these colors they seem to do for dealers that come with black baseplates. Silly, I know, but I like the look of the FDE, robin's egg blue, purple, and red mags that were/are part of the regular Lancer line and come with matching baseplates (although red first appeared with black ones). I'm sure it's much cheaper for Lancer to just make the translucent colored plastic without producing the colored baseplates, which is why we see these "dealer exclusive" colors from Big Daddy and Classic Firearms come this way.

Any idea on the value of the robins egg blue lancer mags?

According to Lancer, the green will be the same alien green, may be a different part number though.
All the new colors should be out by fall of this year. |

I didn’t know the alien greens were a thing until they were long gone. I’d love to scoop up 5 or 6 of those if they do another run.
