Yesterday I ordered (by telephone) from MB's flagship store in Toronto & today on our the coldest morning we've had this year, UPS shipped my inks safe, warm & sound.

My wife really likes MBRB & goes through it at a pretty fair clip. I am curious about the colour & performance of MB's Permanent Blue, but only in carts for now.

Just tracked down the shipment and they're stuck for a few days in customs... Ui!

Tokyo limited edition: Edo Murasaki.

[jmccarty3]

None. For the moment, I'm back on the wagon.

[mamajones]

I just received Noodler's Apache Sunset, still waiting for the Cactus Fruit Eel.

 

I also just got Fuku-Gaki (Winter Persimmon), Pilot Iroshizuku, from Amazon. That arrived partly frozen, but I can see from reading past threads that this is probably OK.

 

When the Fuku-Gaki thaws, I plan to make some comparisons with the Apache Sunset. Or just play around.

[squishyink]

Whoa frozen ink, perhaps mine freezes as well but by the time it reaches my door in Hawaii it thaws out.

 

Waiting for:

 

De Atramentis Great Composers Ink Bottle - Puccini - Aubergine

R & K - Cassia, Solferino, Alt Bordeaux, Magenta, Konigsblau, Smaragdgrun, Fernambuk

Diamine - Tyrian Purple, Merlot, Hope Pink, Claret (accidentally bought another one lol)

KWZ Monarch

Kingdom Note, Pink and Blue (not sure what the actual names are lol the Jelly Fish bottle ones)

And 3 unicorns

[Bookman]

To accompany a Pilot Metropolitan I'm giving a 12-year-old girl for Christmas I'm awaiting 6 boxes of Pilot cartridges (2 blue, 2 blue-black, 2 purple) and 2 converters, which I ordered from Jet Pens last Tuesday, which Jet Pens mailed on Wednesday, and which USPS tracking says were delivered last Friday. They weren't. Or rather I'm sure they were delivered to someone last Friday. Somebody else. Time for a Festivus miracle.

[mehandiratta]

Kaweco caramel brown and kaweco midnight blue...

[migo984]

Akkerman 22; MB JFK; MB Shakespeare Velvet Red.

Still waiting. Stuck in customs for 12 days.

[domzals1]

One of my good work colleagues back home in Japan for Christmas. I coordinated with her to have 3 bottles of Sailor Jentle ink delivered to her apartment in Tokyo (2 Rikyu-cha and 1 Shigure) for just slightly more than 1 bottle typically costs here in the States.

[jmccarty3]

Back off the wagon again. Waiting for three new Akkerman inks from the Dutch Masters series: Rembrandt's Karmozijn, Ruisdael's Stormachtig Blauw, and Vermeer's Kobaltblauw. Several of the others in the series look promising as well.

Are these something new? Anyone have them for sale in the States? Or are they only available directly from Akkerman? I'm trying to imagine the colors just from the names (even though I don't speak or read Dutch, I'm guessing that "Karmozjin" might be a carmine red, for instance) and they sound yummy....
