Congrats! Waiting on a Visconti Van Gogh in blue with a fine nib over here.

Hey polar bear, hope you have fun with your first fountain pen ever!

 

I'm also new to fountain pens, and I just ordered my second fountain pen ever, after having bought, used, and enjoyed a cheapie (a yellow Lamy Safari) pen for a couple weeks.

 

I chose a fine nib Namiki Falcon for my number two, and a bottle of Noodler's Zhivago ink.

With the coupon code posted in the Market Watch section of the forums, I got 20% off at Pencity! (FYI, the code is 51009, for orders over $40).

 

Very excited

I am patiently awaiting a majestic blue Waterman Liaison from Lewertowski in France. I love my Waterman Man 100, so I wanted to try another nice Waterman pen.

[pixelsnbytes]

A Shaeffer Balance, and 2 Pilot 78Gs. Patience is not my strong suit.

[ParkerBeta]

A Caran d'Ache Dunas Shiny Black, a demo model purchased from Pencity. My first Caran d'Ache.

[Mr Rob]

A green Pelikan Future...because everyone needs a bright, in-your-face GREEN fountain pen! Hopefully, this will be a good daily use pen to compliment my M200.

You'll love the Falcon! I bought one two months ago and I adore it - you've made a great choice.

PenZombie is sending me an Esterbrook J Transitional, it's on the way.

Pen City is sending me an new Vanishing Point Black Rhodium (I lost mine on Thursday and it must be replaced!)

Pen City is also sending me a Lamy 2000 F

Mike Masuyama is sending me a cursive italic for the VP

Pen City is also sending me a leather case for 3 pens.....

 

I am going to be standing at the mail box all week.

 

I have only become interested in fountain pens about 3 months ago, but this is obviously an obsession!

:roflmho: mitchjg, what an enviable situation!

 

I am waiting for only one pen, a Sailor 1911 Mid Size. It has cleared customs and is headed out of the airport soon.

I had originally wanted a Sapporo but I saw the 1911 auction and thought, "Close enough." The Sapporo, along with an ivory white Chalana, does remain on the shopping list I handed to my agent (aka father on business trip to Japan). Let's hope he finds a chance to get to a pen store!

 

An Omas Paragon in royal blue celluloid arrived one week ago. The pen's appearance has not disappointed me; it's a real beauty, and not too gaudy as I had feared. But I must figure out what to do with the medium nib, because it writes a bit too broad and wet for me.

 

 

[McPete]

I didn't see this thread before starting mine....

 

Anyway a Stipula Vedo, Lamy Safari, Ink, Noodler preppy pen and a moleskine.

 

 

Still waiting........very excited.......so impatient!!!

 

 

Egads, another Wollongonian! I never thought I'd see the day!

 

 

Something big next week, I suspect. I've had enough of middling pens and middling service from department stores. Maybe a Lamy 2000.

[Mrsal]

im waiting for a visconti van gogh maxi in swisher green with a broad nib, no. 23 out of 188

[TheProf]

Waiting for a Lamy Al-Star from Swisher Pens. I'll fill it with red ink and use it grade exams.

[Elisablue]

I'm waiting for too many fountain pens , but let's not break down in "culpa" mode

 

:embarrassed_smile:

 

so two Parker 51 (!) , a black and a cordovan

 

a Penrite with a stub nib acquired here on the market

 

a beautiful Varuna Vishal

[Triplet Mom]

I'm waiting for my OMAS Bronze Arco Milord with a 0.5 cursive italic nib from Classic Fountain Pens. This has been on my "dream pen" list for ages. Can't believe I am just days away from finally owning it!!

[diplomat]

Currently waiting for a Pelikan M200 Red demo that I snagged on the bay for 30€. The pic was very bad though, so we will see the conditions...

[Robe]

Ok, now this is a problem, I can't stop! I haven't still received the two Conway Stewart bought on Ebay last week , and I have bought one hour ago another lovely pen in white and black celluloid.

Yes, not all of us Wollongonians are knuckle draggers - some of us can write

 

good to have a comrade here.

 

anyway, the Vedo, Safari, Ink and moleskine have arrived, but now I wait for a Waterman Phileas demonstrator (clear) with a fine nib.

[Fountainbass]

I'm eagerly awaiting the return of my teal blue Parker 51 aero from Richard Binder. It should be here in a few days!

[reprieve]

An amber Pilot Custom 823 with a 0.7mm cursive italic nib from Richard Binder. I am very excited!
