The new “old” Lamy Safari special editions

Love this Colors, the blue is darker than the old one

I'm really tempted by the reboot "French Blue".  But would have to see a side by side to make a final decision.  I should remember to bring mine with me to the Ohio Pen Show next week and see if anyone has the new one so I can do a comparison. but definitely tempted....  (I got lucky and found a used one on eBay a couple of years ago and negotiated a price with the seller -- and since it already had a converter installed, it ended up being about the same price as a NEW Safari would have been.)

As for the white one?  Ehhh, I dunno -- I already have the White and Red Safari....

Is tempting to buy new Safaris in old colours, but it will be gorgeous to see new colours.

True.  I was waffling over getting a Safari a few years ago, and had been going, "I think I'll maybe spring for something really silly, like the pink one...."  Only when I saw one in person, I was going, "Ehhhhh...."  

Then the Dark Lilac SE got released and it was "OMG!  WANT!  Must HAAAAVE!" 

When the original two colors got reissued, though, I was going "Meh..." because neither of them appealed to me in the slightest.  I don't do the Pokemon "Gotta get 'em all" mindset.  I buy the ones I like (be it Safaris or vintage Parker Vacumatics) and DON'T buy the ones I don't like....
