Weee! I just placed an order. This will be my first time trying Legal Lapis. I've waited a long time and I am excited to see what all the talk is about.

I can only hope this bodes well for TVV becoming available next.

 

I'm happy for all of you who have been waiting for the LL fix. If my 4.5 ounce bottle were down to about 1/3 instead of about 3/4, I'd join in as well.

Yes, Nathan seems to have done a good job spreading the non-shop branded exclusives around the globe. So, an outage from the exclusive U.S. distributor doesn't make the ink unavailable to people who want it.

Lovely news, I first saw a written sample from someone's postcard to me. I sort of put it out of my mind because it was so hard to find. Now I'm putting it on my wish list.

Timely news about Legal Lapis. I liked it for about a year, then I didn't like it or use it for a year, then very recently I put some in a pen and now I like it again. I was wondering if that would be it if it didn't come back. I was thinking all kinds of deep and profound thoughts about the transient nature of life and learning to let go and that sort of thing. But now I can just order another bottle.

HA! Love it.

 

My bottle shipped, too - I'm so excited. I've never even tried it, but I've seen it in enough letters to know I want to give it a whirl.

I like to think I'm responsible for it being available again. I have been waiting and waiting for it to come back into stock. Then I heard about Art Brown's Legal Blue. Still, I waited. Then I finally broke down and bought a bottle of Legal Blue from Art Brown. An hour after I placed that order with Art Brown, I got the email from Pendemonium about Legal Lapis being soon to be back in stock and that I could pre-order it. So of course I did. Coincidence? I think not.

Thank you Mike for being the catalyst in this equation. I for one am deeply in your debt as Legal Lapis is and has been my No. 1 choice for many years...as well as the good folks that sell it. :notworthy1:

I have been carefully guarding my LL store (only using it when necessary). On the off chance that Pendemonium was never able to restock it, I wanted to have some in reserve. Now that they have more, I will order it and be able to use it regularly!

 

LL and BB are my favorite inks. I am glad that both are available again!

Well for you, if you wrestle on, for in persistency lies victory, and with the morning may come the wished-for blessing. But not always; there is a struggle with defeat which some of you will have to bear, and it will be well for you if you have cultivated a cheerful equanimity. Remember, too, that sometimes 'from our desolation only does the better life begin.' Even with disaster ahead, it is better to face them with a smile, and with the head erect, than to crouch at their approach. And, if the fight is for principle and justice, even when failure seems certain, where many have failed before, cling to your ideal, and, like Childe Roland before the dark tower, set the slug-horn to your lips, blow the challenge, and calmly await the conflict.

We got a sampler of Legal Lapis and it was very dark so we got a bottle. It was a teal that neither of us liked very much. It was nowhere near the color on the website, nor in the sampler. The person who sent the original sampler said maybe the sampler was mis-labeled. Either way, we have only the smallest amount left of the original bottle (traded or gave away the rest).

 

And we are out of the sampler (it lasted thanks to a Binder XXXF and other nice pens also being used). And we wonder if the new bottles have ink with either the color that is on the Pendemonium website or a very dark color. We'd like either of those, just not the actual color in the bottle we got.

Who makes Legal Lapis? I am not familiar with this ink and it sounds like something I need to add to my collection of inks that I really don't need, but I get because they are so "pretty",

It's a Noodler's exclusive for Pendemonium.

 

A little sad that no European vendors may sell it.

The only reason I haven't tried it is because I cannot stand Pendemonium's website. :angry: I do not want to copy the item I want then paste it on another page. If they have a better online order form, I will consider doing business with them. Until then, they are not worth the trouble.
