I have some Inspired Blue? (The south seas) and MB Toffee Brown heading my way. Also contemplating a bottle of Apple Glory. Not sure though. I need some X-Feather but Goulet's been sold out quite a bit lately.

Monteverde Blue-black and some Aurora Black cartridges. Got the former for free when ordering a clearance Monteverde pen from Goulet, the latter for travel preparation ans sampling purposes.

 

Added an order of a bok of Pelikan Edelstein Sapphire Cartridge and a bottle of RK Salix.

I just placed an order for a bottle of Diamine Red Dragon--love that ink! I'm also waiting for samples of Diamine Golden Sands, Diamine Blue Pearl (I'm a shimmer junkie) and Diamine Apple Glory, as well as samples of the famed Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses, Monteverde Pink, and J. Herbin's Bleu Azur. Many people have claimed the last two inks are basically unusable for writing since they're quite light, but I find that most of the time "light" shades actually end up being significantly darker in my Pilot Metropolitan. I hope everybody else is enjoying their inks!

This may be a breach of etiquette, since I'm no longer waiting, but I recently received 5 Diamine inks: Salamander, Macassar, Eclipse, Imperial Purple, and Rustic Brown.

 

Salamander has been on my list for some time and has not disappointed. Love it. Macassar and Eclipse are not far behind. I've yet to ink up Imperial Purple and Rustic Brown, but I expect they'll be great. In particular, I hope Imperial Purple is close to purple of the Orlando City Lions.

Eagerly awaiting J. Herbin's Café des Iles, Cacao du Bresil, Orange Indien and Vert Olive. And R&K's Alt Gold Grun and Alt Bordeaux. Any one got nib recommendations for any of these inks?

I have ordered 2 bottles of Diamine 150 Anniversary Terracotta ink and am waiting for them to arrive before I go ahead and purchase a vintage French pen made of red mottled hard rubber to write with it. I think the Terracotta ink will pair well with this close to 100 years old vintage French pen with flex, broad nib, giving more of a vintage look.

I've just ordered a bottle of Noodler's Van Gogh Starry Night from some outfit called 'Fountain Pen Network.' Waiting impatiently.

 

Apparently it's at the PO Box already. Is that fast service or what? Unfortunately, I won't be able to go and pick it up until tomorrow night.

 

Even though I won't actually get to 'use' it until Christmas, I still want to see it. Sigh. I don't do waiting very well.

Life is too short to hurry through.

Very nice! I know for this newbie, the bottles and packaging are as intriguing as the products inside.

Can you give me a link or something to buy this and Tsutaya Rohrer & Klingner ink?

I'm afraid I don't have links. As I mentioned previously, the R & K was bought for me from the store. The other ink is a pre-release bottle & isn't on sale until next year.
