Recently got two very nice and really, really cheap Hero 901 (payed $4 for both of them, free shipping, can't beat that). Now I'm waiting for a Duke 209. I liked the pictures of it, I have no idea how it will perform, but I'm a sucker for two-colors nibs and heavy pens.

I have three pens in route:

 

Parker 51 Special from Mr. Zorn

Pilot Custom Heritage 912 with a PO nib!!!

So jealous!

My Platinum 3776 Century Sai limited edition demonstrator arrived today. Mottishaw-stubbed B nib tuned perfectly for a left-handed over-writer. Loaded with Dromgoole's Texas Bluebonnet by Noodler's Ink.

 

These guys can flat make some pens.

I forgot my Platinum 3776 Century Nice Pur that arrived yesterday . I'm finding the medium nib writes even smoother than my Pilot mediums.

The beyond gorgeous Wahl-Eversharp Blue Decoband arrived yesterday, in packaging that would put a LE Montblanc or S.T. Dupont to shame. It will be wrapped up and put under the tree until Christmas. Still waiting to hear about my Nakaya and the Sailor Sapporo Slim I've ordered for my daughter-in-law from nibs.com

You have admirable self-control, jmccarty

I am now waiting for some Platinum Preppys in three different colors, and one Chibi 2 from Jet Pens.

 

I lost out on the Preppys from a previous purchase elsewhere, and I seem to have developed an appetite for them now. I'm not 100% sure that I'm even going to like the Preppys! I suppose I had better like them now. And that Chibi 2 just looked interesting and adequately inexpensive, since I was buying stuff anyway, so well see how that one works out.

 

But after this purchase I am seriously going back on the wagon .

 

The Preppys and the Chibi 2 have arrived. I must say, I was not favorably impressed with the packaging. There was a sheet of bubble wrap with all 10 pens just rolled up in the bubble wrap which was then made into an ersatz container with masking tape.

 

And most of the Preppys' caps were just hanging loose.

 

I'll get around to trying these pens out some time in the future, and I also need to research how to get the writing off the barrels, as Nathan Tardif has done with the Preppys he's turned into eye dropper pens.

 

Insert my usual whine about that wagon I'm clearly not on at this time here .

I have ordered a Conid Regular Flattop Bulkfiller Demonstrator, but with a clear grip section rather than the black normally used. Being the patient soul that I am, I photobodged up an image of my pen to gaze upon longingly whilst I await its manufacture and delivery. I didn't try darkening the nib from steel to dark grey titanium.. that just seemed a little obsessive.

A Pelikan M405 blue striped with 14C fine nib picked up for a very nice price.

[Cordovian]

I wasn't going to buy any more pens for the rest of the year...didn't make it. Ran across a Cartier Diabolo in Grain d'Orge for an irresistible price and had to buy it. Suppose to be here tomorrow.

Uh-oh, I just ordered a Lamy Al-Star (black with medium nib), convertor and three extra nibs: fine, extra-fine and italic 1.5. Can't wait for them to arrive and play. And on my way home I couldn't help myself and bought a bottle of Pelikan Royal Blue 4001 ink.

 

BTW, does anyone knows how Lamy's ink is? I've seen some black today (can't really remember the exact type) at the store, but its price is more then twice the price of Pelikan ink.

Lamy's ink is good. But if the Pelikan is half the price, I'd go with that. Both are well-behaved and pleasant to look at.
