Hi folks! Well, I didn't actually mean to buy this pen. I wasn't against it, it was just that the Blue sold out so quickly that I didn't expect to ever see one for sale. But then I was in Montréal, at Stylo, and there it was. Now I've followed the thread on whether this pen is a way to rip off gullible Lamy fan-children, I've watched the Goulet videos, and I felt I sort of understood the product and the fuss it was attracting. Then I met one in person. I've had quite a few Lamy 2000s over the years. I like the concept, the simplicity, the look, but they haven't always suited my hand. In my experience the nib matters a lot on 2000s, perhaps because of the section shape. If it writes smoothly it is a joy to use; but if there are any issues with the nib it seems like the shape may magnify them. Point being I was in no hurry to have another 2000. My current one is a modern EF that writes beautifully, totally reliably, and with a real EF line. But. This LE is freaking beautiful. The pictures do not do it justice. The colour is hard to capture in a photograph, and here I laid it on the included notebook to emphasise the brown-ness of it. It's hard to photograph because the effect is subtle. The cap off picture with the section in focus is, I think, the closest to true colour. As I've spent time with it I've come to appreciate it more. And the amount of work going into it. Until I sat and looked at this pen, I hadn't thought about how much work it would be to have a limited edition numbered on the clip. The clip is shinier than a normal 2000 clip, and has LAMY on one side and the number on the other: 0314/3300 in my case (Yes, it's the π pen!). I was also blown away by the whole package. I use notebooks a lot, and really like the included Lamy notebook. I also like the book on the designer, which is shrink-wrapped. Overall, it does feel attractive to me in a way that, I must admit, "super-luxury" packaging doesn't. It is more about making the Lamy fan feel they are getting an exclusive invitation into the brand, which requires a minimalist approach. I can't say a lot about how it writes. It's a fine nib Lamy 2000. It's going to write like one. I haven't filled it yet (I've been travelling) but the feel of the dry nib on paper is very nice, and I'm optimistic. So, overall? I think it's kind of a special pen. I don't find the price offensive as I believe the whole package is coherent and satisfying (I was one of those incredibly fortunate people for whom lockdown allowed a little more spending on hobbies other than travel). I'm glad I picked one up, and I'm glad Lamy made it. More than happy to answer any questions if anybody would like more details. Stay safe out there! Ralf
