Wayne,
I don't think that the sortainers come in as many colors. At least here the blue is not available.

Wayne, Tanos do not produce sortainers in any colour other than 'light grey' (the colour Festool use) and 'anthracite' (which is a dark grey). If you go on to the Systainer Configurator page of the Tanos website, you can see all of the colours available for the different options. JRB |

Hey, I almost missed the opportunity to purchase some of these.  I have been up at Pellow's Camp away from phones, computers, and such frills for most of the summer and just got back to Toronto for a brief stay last night. I just ordered three Fogtainers. |

Good call, Peter, on your timing estimates. This is exactly what you were planning for. |

Did I happen to mention that any excess funds collected will be used by the FOG for prizes and giveaways? If not:
Any excess money collected during this project will be used for prizes and giveaways on the FOG!

Wow, I think we might break 200, huh? I just looked back and on August 3rd we were at 85. That's more than double in basically one week! Gosh darn it... tempting to get more. Possibly only time ever for something like this. What oh what else can we stuff into a Systainer. Do my kids need a Sys4 for their dolls??! Is a Sys1 allowed in kindergarten for art supplies?  |

This is such a great project to be a part of. We'll be able to tell our grandchildren "I was a fogtainer buyer." It's like being into The Doors before the film came out, or being at Live Aid.

This is unbelievable! Who ever thought that a group buy on an internet forum could generate the interest that this has!
WE have hit a huge number - 200!
Someone asked if there was a magic or target number? My expectations were met many FOGtainers ago. My personal goal and hopes are in range.
You guys are unbelievable!
Chris, thanks!
