Red Resin Pilot Falcons/elabos At Jetpens


Thuja

Recommended Posts

I received the Jetpens newsletter today and noticed that they have red resin version of Pilot Falcon available. What confuses me is that they are sold as Pilot Elabos (as in the japanese market version). I thought that the red resin Falcon would be available in the US in december. I know Nibs is taking pre-orders at the moment.

 

These must be their own import? Just wanted to give a heads up if somebody wants one, I know I do as I love red.

yes Jetpens looking at their inventory looks like most are purely self imported pens... I havent seen any news from Japan though... but there is the Elabo in red with rhodium furniture.. maybe its just new to the US very very old in Japan and yes Elabo is the native name of the Falcon in Japan... which you can easily guess will get confusing because nibs.com or perhaps by proxy Pilot USA will be bringing in the Custom Heritage 912 with the Falcon nibs (or at least one of the 10 special nibs offered) YES THAT WILL BE A CONFUSING MESS TO SAY THE LEAST

I'm not aware of any Red colored Resin Falcons currently in the US, Red Metal ones yes, but not Red resin. My guess is they're importing them directly which would explain the markup in the price.

 

It may still be available in December at the normal "Falcon" price, but the imports are just a way of getting one earlier.

 

My question is, if it's a Japanese import for the Elabo, how is Pilot USA warranty applied?

you send it to jetpens? that's what I can think off my custom heritage 91 is also not found outside USofA so that will be sent to Japan by me... if anything happens to it but of course thats what I pay for for buying stuff not found in my native soil :3 Pilot pens fall under that

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
