What pen are you waiting for in the mail?

[ShallowJam]

Two pilot parallels. Calligraphy is a nasty bug.

Still waiting on the Konrad I ordered from the Goulets around Christmas, to which I added a second order last week, when they listed a few more of the ebonite versions. I suspect that their excellent delivery service may be a tiny bit slower than it was the last time I ordered from them at this time of year.

(I'd spread a couple of ink samples, a Banditapple notepad and a flushing bulb across the two orders as well, but we're here to talk about the pens, not that...)

I'm still waiting on a Sailor 1911 with a music nib and a Platinum Standard thanks to the week long shutdown of Japan for the New Year's celebration.

Just pulled the trigger on a Pelikan M640 Polar Lights. Dustin at Penporium.com special-ordered an extra-fine nib for me from Pelikan. Also waiting for my MB Starwalker Midnight Black. It went back to MB last month to swap out the medium for an extra-fine nib. Called them today. Turns out the XF nib had to be shipped from Germany. Both should be here in another couple weeks

[79spitfire]

TWSBI Mini classic, and a Sheaffer Military clip from Ebay...

[csabreo]

Pilot Metro and inks from Goulet. It got shipped on Monday, and the estimate was for it to arrive today. Which it didn't; the tracker hasn't updated since it was accepted at the post office. So I'm annoyed with the postal service right now...

[Wheatflower]

Two Shaeffer No Nonsense pens and that silly, over-the-top dragon pen. Yeah, that one. I really don't go for blingy pens, but I had birthday money in hand and I was born in a Year of the Dragon and, well.

 

According to the tracking information they are in town now and will be delivered to my workplace today. Am considering taking a sample of ink in with me, to ink it up then and there--foolishness, as I have no writing-related tasks planned!

I'm waiting for my monteverde invincia that will be here tomorrow along with some notebooks and an additional nib for the pen

[dogpoet]

The non ebonite Konrad, ink samples and Banditapple have turned up, but I'm still waiting on the other.

(The Konrad is an excellent pen: even better than the Nib Creaper. If the hard rubber version is better still, I can see why they sell out so fast...)

[Mr Rob]

A Pilot Metropolitan from Goulet Pens. If it writes as well as the 78G I have, it probably won't be my last.

[Truman]

Well until today I was waiting for a MB Jules Verne to arrive. It has and I am in love! Probably the prettiest pen I own. Everything I read about this pen is true. I'm not sure I need anything else at this point!

[sargetalon]

All of the pens I was previously waiting on have arrived, except....a red Visconti rembrandt

[Brien Crotty]

I'm waiting for a Montblanc Meisterstuck Diamond in the large size with a medium nib. I haven't actually purchased it, so it may not arrive, but you never know, I might get lucky and a leprechaun will take pity on this lazy Irishman!

[FoszFay]

Waterman 52 1/2 V BCHR Wet Noodle XF-BB.

[chiaroscuro]

Sailor Sapporo, 1950s NOS Reform, a bunch of old dip pen nibs, some ink.

[Philips]

I'm still waiting on the Aurora 88 I bought just after Christmas. The tracking number shows it went as far as Milan, then nothing more. I am beginning to suspect it has become 'lost'. It was just another old pen, but I am disappointed.

[CoolFool]

I ordered a special custom pen from Shawn Newton. I'm 10th in the work queue. This is torture...

[jpzahra]

Just won an auction for a Sailor 1911 Naginata Togi MF for about half its retail price in the UK, so so happy! Come on Japan Post!!!!

 

Also got a vintage Sailor Calligraphy Pen coming in the post.... that one might be a real surprise!!!!! That's shipped too. what's US post like to the UK?

[restlesscourage]

Just put in an order for a charcoal, extra fine Lamy Safari (along with a Rhodia dot pad and pad holder and a bottle of Diamine Bilberry). Excited to see what I think of it, and to have another EF nib in my arsenal!
