Yeah me too, although I got an original green one for less than the new ones about 1,5 years ago :P

Talk about a lucky find!

Hi, is there any further information on the brown Lamy 2000, which popped up in the other thread? Is it just "fake news" or will it really be launched this year?

Do we have confirmation for the new limited AL Star colours? I’m new to this hobby, but I assume they’re released at the same time as the Safari?

 

Edit: That’s a yes

Oh, the Azure al-Star looks nice.... :puddle:  

While not the same as the old 2006 Safari French Blue, it might assuage my desire for one (at least for the time being) -- and at a way more reasonable price than what I'm seeing the French Blue for on the Bay of Evil....

Same here, I missed the French Blue and I think Azure would be a nice replacement, without the red clip, I didn't care much about and the price tag, which keeps climbing.

Is it fair for an intelligent and family oriented mammal to be separated from his/her family and spend his/her life starved in a concrete jail?

Well I did actually like the red clip.  I find that I don't like the look of the "standard" Safari clips because to me they just look like big paper clips (they're not quite as bad on the metal bodied al-Star and LX I have).  The two Safaris I have (Dark Lilac and last year's Violet) both have colored clips -- black for the Dark Lilac, and matching the pen color on the Violet; and the red clip for me is just a bonus (I also liked an LE one I saw on eBay that was to commemorate I think some anniversary of Sweden becoming a company -- it was in the colors of the Swedish flag: darkish blue with a bright yellow clip).  But while technically I could afford one of the French Blue pens (thanks to the second stimulus check I got) there's a part of me going: "They want HOW much?!  For just a Safari? :o  Whatever they're smoking ain't legal in any of these 50 states!"

As for plain vs. colored clips, it's a case of YMMV

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
