My Lamy Christmas present was a few days late from South Korea...

 

Very cool... and beautiful wrapping.

 

I have to admit I'm a bit lost on all the minor variants - clip color/country SEs/dot vs. cross cap, etc. Is this the same as the white with red clip that came from Taiwan in numbered and unnumbered versions? Red dot cap button?

 

Otherwise I recognize them all except the red with yellow clip. What is the origin of that one?

 

Thanks for sharing and happy new year!

@haywoody: I think the red with yellow clip is the China edition, it also has the yellow crossed top-cap.

 

@bphollin: Did you got it from http://www.bestpen.co.kr/

Woody, the white and red is one of the unnumbered Japan editions commissioned for the thirtieth anniversary of the Safari line. I mentioned South Korea above because that's where the eBay seller was.

 

steelblood is right, the red with yellow is the "China" model released earlier this year; it came from one of the usual eBay sellers, but I haven't seen it listed for cheap since I got mine!

 

And steelblood, I've seen some of your fun eBay listings the last few months! Keep me in mind if you come across a terracotta...

 

ETA: Happy New Year, Safari friends!

I saw the orange Safari, and I said to myself, "I have to find one of those". Our company color is orange, and I thought an orange Safari sticking out of my pocket would be a nice touch.

 

Went to eBay and found a few....FOR $90 to $150 DOLLARS. My goodness, you Safari people are crazy. :roflmho:

[EKE]

Crazy like all of us, I should add.

[Bjorn Keizers]

Yeah, I was annoyed when I saw that too. I only 'discovered' the orange model last week, and I can't help but want one. Ah well. At least I have a green 2012 LE on order. And there's a few other colors that I want too.

It might be cheaper to just have your company change its color to red or yellow.

Hi guys, I have seen a red safari with black clip and a yellow safari with black clip for sale for £20 each is this a good price? I seem to have got a bit obsessed with Safari's after receiving a red one with silver clip for Christmas and then adding an apple green one recently!!

Thanks for your help!

[bphollin]

Welcome to FPN. The black clip models have been discontinued for a few years. £20 seems fair--I've seen them go for higher and lower (mostly higher on eBay).

[Toffer]

OK thanks for the help, may get them ordered.

There's not been a purple Lamy yet, has there? Does lamy issue a special color every year? I see that one year it was orange and another it was pink. I just have an al-star but I'd go for a safari if there was a purple one. That is if the price is not overly inflated because of a limited run or something.

[bphollin]

Purple Al-Star (third from right). No purple Safari.

In Australia the Purple Al-Star is marketed Shiraz and I've also seen it called Black Purple too.

 

Its apparent colour can be heavily influenced by the ambient lighting.

[Snowie]

I have the purple al-star and it's looking more purple these days but when I first got it it looked more burgandy red than purple. It's rather shiny so I can see that light does influence the color.

With all those Lamys, methinks you should help me complete my collection. :roflmho: Been looking for the lime and orange Safaris (chrome clip) for weeks now, but I can't seem to decide on a price I'm willing to pay.

 

I've been out of the fountain pen loop for about three years already, and I missed out on a lot. But I was still able to find the Pink, the Aquamarine, and the 2012 Green.
