Anyone has this Visconti Van Gogh? It's so pretty, but appears to be an exclusive for Japan's domestic market.

Wow. How do I get one? Never seen it before.

I've never been tempted by a Visconti Van Gogh before...but this LE is making me rethink my position on them. What a pretty pen!

But wow, is that the price there? 52,500 yen means this Van Gogh is a costly US$485 unsure.gif My Japanese is a bit rusty...but I think it's in commemoration of the 20th anniversary (of what I'm not sure headsmack.gif ) and I think it's limited to 300 pieces in Japan.

Deirdre, I was hoping someone would know whether it's available in the US, but guess not so it has to be ordered directly from Japan. I can't decide whether I want it tho since it's a midi. You sure you want another VG ? biggrin.gif

feiye, yeep with shipping etc it'd come close to $500 a pop, but there might be lower prices available elsewhere I haven't looked. European brands tend to sell at MSRP in Japan, yikes!

Oh, of course I do. lticaptd.gif

But $500 for a midi? I'll pass.

Put me on the list for one - if we can get them for a sane price.

Any FPNers local to the seller who can negotiate us a volume discount??
