A Blue Lamy 2000 Coming

[Honeybadgers]

I was hoping for a more bright blue. This is blue black.

 

Still, if it's not being sold at a premium, I'll buy one.

 

But knowing Lamy, it's going to either be sold in such tiny numbers that they all get bought instantly and scalped for a thousand bucks, or just straight up sold for $450 and nobody will want it.

If my memory serves me well, discussions about the famous red Lamy 2k underlined that makrolon isn't friend with bright colors.

Well, Mike's picture doesn't show "blue-black", more towards medium blue.

 

I await the first Owners personal photograph in real lighting to see the color.

[LYTH]

Colour looks like Iroshizuku shin-kai.

[Calabria]

Looks fantastic!

But these promo photographs are notoriously unreliable

The two companies Ive seen selling it in the UK offer it in all the standard Lamy 2000 nib widths - Pen & Paper in Cardiff have 4 available for pre-order, The Writing Desk have an email-for-interest message.

I've heard from a UK retailer. There will be 1919 pens, all EF (it's to celebrate 100 years of Bauhaus). It'll be a polycarbonate and will come with some other bits, so the cost I heard was still high.

 

The photo from Appelboom looks like a stub, not an EF.

Do we have any US retailers currently offering it? Id like to get a better feel for the price.

 

Maybe somebody will buy it at full price and then be uninspired by it and sell it on ebay for auction which would allow me to snipe it for half price.

[Newjelan]

Oh dear, that's beautiful.

Probably a stock photo supplied by Lamy

That shouldn't be too much trouble, L2K nibs are easily changed...Appelboom mentioned on their Insta as well that ex-factory they're all EF

If they come out with that blue, I’ll buy it.

350 Euros. (Not sure why but my Euro symbol disappeared!)

Odd, so you have to buy it with the journal?

[dennis_f]

The journal is just a free gift courtesy of Lamy, isn't it? That's my impression (like those bottles of ink that sometimes come with ltd editions).

[Glenn-SC]

At those prices you've paid for the journal and the ink as well.

There is no "free" here.

[LYTH]

Fontoplumo said 385€. A bit expensive for a L2K, even in blue.

[Twister292]

The RRP is EUR385 inc VAT, EUR 318 ex-VAT.

 

Yeah nah, thanks but no thanks Lamy.
