What Chinese Pens are you Waiting for in the Mail?

[NumberSix]

I don't think we have a thread on this topic, so how about we start one? 

 

I have a number of pens on order, including a Wingsung 601 demonstrator and a Jinhao 450 from amazon, to arrive in a few days. 

 

PenBBS 500, 355, 456, 480, from etsy.

 

Most interesting to me:  I finally pulled the trigger on a Hero 100. My first Ali Express order. At $50, it's not a massive risk. But it's still a risk.  

 

Your turn!

Jinhao Century in brown

[OleJuul]

A couple of Baoer 388 in the steel finish. They're five bucks each and I get those to give to people who become interested when they see my fountain pens.

Jinhao 85 - black

Wing Sung 601 - flighter

 

Both from Bobby, along with some replacement nibs for the 601 (recommended by Doug on youtube, I think - that guy and Chris Rap are bad influences on me).

I've been waiting for a JinHao 599A and X750 since early September.  Tracking says that they cleared customs a long time ago.  I'm sure they are sitting in a bag in some postal warehouse, hopefully not on the bottom.

I was going to buy some Wing Sung F nibs to replace my PenBBS nib, which came bad. I get my pilot style replacement nibs from this seller, and just saw this pen and wanted to try one. I believe it's old stock and hope it will come out great.

Kind of a Wing Sung Targa!

Jinhao 75 ordered from Aliexpress ordered on November 24, 2020, also wandering aimlessly in limbo.

[Ardakilic]

Just Got Wing Sung 601a (like Sheaffer like ring nib), Ta Tung 717, Old Stock Hero 616, Hero 329 and Hero 007.

 

Let's see how will the 601a turn out to be.

I have another Delike Alpha Brass Pocket Pen that should arrive today direct from the manufacturer in China.  It will be my fourth Delike brass pen.

Expecting a Moonman S5 and a PenBBS 481.

I'm waiting for two Kaikalu 316.  I seem to be collecting duofold copies from many Chinese manufacturers.  Also waiting for 3 Moonman 800s (one I accidentally double ordered, the purple.  Oh well) and also a Moonman N3.  These were all ordered in February so I may not see some until April.

I was waiting for this pen but the seller first told me in red it is out-of-stock, a day later he told me, the black is also out of stock.

On the Aliexpress page you can still order and pay $50, nothing said about being out of stock. Bait and switch.

In the mail is a Hongdian 960

 

and the following Jinhao 85s in black, blue and red

👍 That`s it!

I've been waiting, since mid-December, for a PENBBS 480 in the "verdure" acrylic, and a Jinhao 100 Centennial in sky blue resin.

 

As with a lot of things during the pandemic, you just have to try to be zen about it.
