You can try sargetalon's site, The Pelikan's Perch:

https://thepelikansperch.com/

 

He usually features upcoming products. Pelikan's own site is primarily for existing products.

Often dealers such as Iguana Sell or one of the others will post something here once they have confirmation as well. One did this with the recently released M200 Brown marbled.

I have seen a post or two on Instagram that had a few hours jump on the release announcement. None frequent or reliable enough to tell you where to look though, sorry to say.

Pelikan is very strict about the leaking of upcoming products which is why you don't see news as much as you used to. There is only 1 month lead time from when a vendor can announce it until the product is released. There was a big dust up a few years ago when much of the line-up was known pre-release. I will post news as soon as I can to my site. I'm very surprised that we haven't heard about anything yet. This is expected to be a robust year of releases with the 180th anniversary. I know of several interesting models coming out but don't have enough details to share openly.

 

I can tell you to plan for a special LE for the anniversary, something big, something orange, something gray, something blue, and something in olivine too. All details forthcoming when pics and more info breaks (or sooner if I can manage it).

Why not look on Pelikan's website? They're sure to announce new offerings before anyone else has the information.

Oh, and I just got a peak at the new Edelstein ink, Olivine. Looks NIIIIICE.... :puddle:

In my experience, that is the last place to look for the latest info. I find them to be about 2 weeks to a month behind their retailers in announcing/updating info. Overseas vendors such as Appelboom, Fritz-Schimpf, and La Couronne du Comte are likely some of the best sources to monitor for news of upcoming products.

I know you can't confirm..but here goes my speculation:

 

Someting big: A new colour for the M1000

Something orange: Ok, this one has stumped me. Combine with above for M1000 Burnt Orange?!

Something grey: M605 anthracite

Something blue: M400 blue o' blue

Something olivine: M205 olivine demonstrator

I see to have dim memory of having some luck finding things out on Pelikan's FB page. Not least "how much is it?" in different languages via the comments... :D

I know you can't confirm..but here goes my speculation:

Someting big: A new colour for the M1000
Something orange: Ok, this one has stumped me. Combine with above for M1000 Burnt Orange?!
Something grey: M605 anthracite
Something blue: M400 blue o' blue
Something olivine: M205 olivine demonstrator


Ooo, can I play?

 

Big - I concur; gotta be something for the neglected M1xxx, surely?

Orange - I fear it's going to be another M8xx in the same series as the Renaissance Brown/Ocean Swirl. I'd like it to be an M6xx or smaller, but I ha' me doots.

Grey - You may be on the money there too. But I shall go mad and suggest a grey marbled M205 instead. Then a red M200 next year.

Blue - Oh, I'd love to see the M605 blue striated return. But how about the wee M101N instead? Make a change from red.

Olivine - Nil points. Too obvious. :P

In January, when Pelikan showed the first photos of the Edelstein Olivine ink on their instagram feed, a commenter asked if there was going to be a "matching M200", they were promptly shut down by the Pelikan employee who posts such things. She was nice about it, but no details were forthcoming. All she gave was March 2018 for the ink. That post was mid-January.

You can knock yourself out searching the internet for the first sign of a new release, but I recommend you just stay tuned here. There are enough rabid Pelikan fanatics posting here that you will get the down low on what is new in the Pelikan universe within about 15 minutes of it being reliable news vs rumor and speculation.

 

I will say though that if a M600 Stressman popped out, I would have a hard time looking past it.

They did that in Aquamarine year too - to the point where I seem to remember we all wondered if the transparent blue was going to be it for the M2xxs that year. Presumably the corridors of Pelikan HQ ring with the merry laughter of vastly amused employees as a result of these hilarious deceptions.

I'd buy it in a heartbeat too.

 

How about an M1005 Blue Striped? Would that generate any buzz? I'd be all over that one as well...

Well guys, I guess I will just stay tuned. If Pelikan is so secretive, do they at least have a set date every year for the unveiling of the new models?

Where do I sign up for one of these? :D

 

I have the impression that a Blue M1005 would sell like candy.

      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
