Thank you everyone, for your great support. This indeed is a very fun project to having so many pen lovers involved.

We have set up online store in Taiwan, China, and USA so far. For other countries I still haven't figure out how to do. Buy from ebay from USA could be one way. We are checking if can buy by Visa from on line store in Taiwan... Or if someone is interested in collecting orders from your country then we ship in one lot to share and save shipping cost??? If you have any suggestion, pls let me know. Please send email to my speedy@twsbi.com account. Thanks again.

 

Start thinking your wish list for our third project.... The second project of vacuum filling pen is on the way, hahaha!

For latest update pls join our facebook <img src="https://img.skitch.com/20110916-nw8undh6ac3kh6q1ta7n62ii75.preview.png" alt="facebook badge" />

 

If any product related issue, pls send email to twsbiinc@gmail.com

I can't wait for this pen either, I will definitely buy this as soon as it becomes available. (Also, lets hope shipping does not cost $10, although I'd still buy it)

 

 

 

And sorry if this has been answered before, but what will be the selection of nibs? Any italic?

Maybe a demonstrator lever or button filler with a crystal clear sac? (At least 1/2 in jest.)

At this price point, I know I'm going to have one. Make mine a demonstrator, please.

I came here for the pictures and stayed for the conversation.

Thank you very much, very informative. It is not a small pen - when it is out, I will get a demo for sure!

I keep watching "the bay," but I ain't seen nuthin' of these yet. :crybaby:

 

Definitely need a few of these. And looking forward to the aluminum or brass piston assembly versions.

 

As far as colors, if this takes off (as I believe it will), how about many, many available colors? Give the Lamy and their Safari a run for their money! That's the ticket! :clap1:

alumimium piston, and more colors of barrel will come gradually.

Cheers.

I'm not generally a fan of demonstrators, but I REALLY like this one. And at <$40 I sense one in my future.

I love the look of this pen so much I double posted the same thought.... DOH!

 

I want a stack of clear, piston filler demonstrators with an assortment of inks loaded. :-)

+1 (or possibly 2!) on this. Any chance of a UK agent/dealer?

I am in Taiwan, and am planning to mail a bunch of TWSBIs to friends in America once I can pick them up here. I think UK shipping is similar/lower cost (so about 40USD for pen and shipping from TW), so i'll probably post an offer to ship pens direct from Taiwan that I purchase at retail once I nail down logistics (read: once I get through the 10-15 friends i need to buy pens for lol). This is assuming of course that there are no other arrangements for international distribution that will yield a better price for the end user.

Speedy, is the nib available in EF (0.5mm line) or EEF (0.4mm) for those of us who like fine nibs? :)

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
