Had to have the blue but they seem scarce. Grabbed mine today off Amazon in B then a replacement nib in EF. Madness, but the good kind..

A local pen shop in Taiwan reported they received a shipment of the green AL yesterday afternoon (Taiwan time).

 

Unfortunately, the stock was wiped out by the time I checked last night..... :(

The green is available from TWSBI's website. Just became available around 1pm MST. I ordered right away.

 

I should have mine tomorrow. This'll be my first 580, my second TWSBI (already have a Vac 700). I've been jonesing for this one ever since TWSBI dropped a teaser photo on their Facebook fan page!

I was able to pre-order a TWSBI Diamond 580AL Green from Pendleton Brown. I've gotten all my TWSBIs from him, with the ButterLine Stub. For the green, I ordered the BLS-Broad. He said he was getting a total of 12 in. Mine was the second order of the greens. I hope to see it later this week. :-)

I have ordered a Blue AL from TWSBI (only B nib is still in stock) and a Green AL from gouletpens.com.

 

I got the restock notification from Goulet just before noon EST on Feb. 29, 2016. Green AL was available in EF, F, M, and B. As of this morning, the fine-nib pen is already sold out. :(

I did the exact same thing for the Blue, then grabbed an EF nib to keep it company on the way.. :)

My 580AL in green got stuck in Los Angeles for several days, so it didn't arrive until today. Not only do I really like this pen, but my wife (who is not yet an enthusiast) liked it enough that I think she was hinting that this is the first real fountain pen that she wants. I'm going to get her one with an ink bottle of her own.

And according to their weekly newsletter they aren't getting any more, so i if you want one, get the broad, then get the nib unit in the size you want. :)

So space and time are linked together. As we are looking across space, we are looking back in time. The further and further away those stars are the further back in time you are looking. Now you are seeing a star that is say six thousand years ago. Imagine somebody at that star looking at us They would be seeing us as we were six thousand years ago. Which of those two is now? - Alan Parsons Project The Time Machine - Temporalia (Paraphrased)

I managed to pick up the orange when they were available and didn't realize they were LE until after I purchased it! So far, I have all of them, and the green is on order with Anderson.

 

If the timing holds true, the Red one might be available in July or August.

 

Even though I have all of them, I wish the production pieces were as vibrant as the prototypes that Cyber6 posted. The blue and purple are ever-so-slightly paler than depicted. I am hoping that this trend doesn't follow the Red, since that's the one that I really, really want.

i'm looking for the orange.

 

So am I. They seem impossible to find.

 

My 580AL in green with EF nib arrived today from gouletpens.com. It looks and feels wonderful. Alas, I can't ink it up and try it yet. I have too many pens inked, and I won't let myself fill any more until I write one dry and clean it.

 

My blue with B nib is still on the way, but the tracking info hasn't updated for a few days.

 

I'm pretty sure I have a purple with F nib on the way as well. I don't have tracking info for that package, so it will be a nice surprise when it arrives at my door.

 

But orange! I have no idea how I'll complete the set. :(

For all those desperate people looking for the orange one, I have good news for you. Some weeks ago, the official Instagram account of TWSBI replied to a user that they would be available again in the coming months. So don't buy an orange one for a high price and be patient. :D

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
