2013 Edison Limited Edition Group Buy!

[bgray]

Hi Everyone!

There will be a 2013 Edison Limited Edition Group Buy. If you missed the Pearl Group buy last year, we only do these direct once a year, so if you have thought about a Signature Line pen, but was waiting for a special deal or the right time, this might be it. The exact price is yet to be determined, but a pen that retails for $250 will be offered around $175-195.

We'll be offering a Morgan. All details are here....

Let me know if there are any questions!

So this is an FPGeeks edition or is this the FPN version?

[bgray]

It's neither. It's just an direct Edison group buy, but the FPN is allowing me to handle logistics in a thread over there.

[KrazyIvan]

Ah, okay. Thank you.

Thanks!

Off to buy that lotto ticket...

[gwgtaylor]

I'm in like dinner! Can't wait!! Both my choices for materials are trending so the ebonite vs acrylic choice might be tough.

And we have one acrylic poll to take care of, then we'll be ready.....

Brian, do you have a rough estimate of shipping dates after the 07April buying close off?

Brian, do you have a rough estimate of shipping dates after the 07April buying close off?

It really depends on how many pens are bought. At this point, I can only say from 3 weeks to 3 months. I realize that this is not exactly the best answer, but you'll need to bear with us until we get a number of pens purchased.

Last year, we had almost 120 pens purchased, and it took us around 6 weeks if I remember correctly. 3 months is probably a very very conservative figure, but I prefer to under-promise and over-deliver.

I can say this....I'd love to have these all done prior to the Chicago Pen Show in early May.

Also - we will have a gallery set up with photos, possibly videos documenting the whole process. So if you are following these updates, the exact shipping date will not be a surprise.

[Bogon07]

Thanks Brian.
Seeing there is nearly two weeks to purchase it is a bit early for estimates.

[bgray]

Just a quick reminder - the buying period ends Sunday night.

[Bogon07]

It has started.

right now, it looks like we are at 88-90 pens. Around 39 Acrylic and 51 Ebonite. But like I said, I'll get a final number tomorrow.

Here come some weeks of dreaming and watching the manufacturing progress thread.

The Neon Acrylic is underway already.
And the Ebonite is coming.

----------------------------------------------
More updates on the manufacturing thread - that Neon acrylic looks even better than the original photo and there is so much variation between pens but they all look fantastic.

Any oblique nibs ?

Any oblique nibs ?

The only way to do an oblique nib would be to customize after the sale. Thanks!

Happy days the LE Morgans are finished and being mailed out. More pictures on Mr Brian Gray's Edison pen company site.

Both the Ebonite and Acrylic versions.

The best news since the dentist stopped using a torque wrench to embed a titanium screw into my jaw two days ago.

Just a heads up - there are a couple of Acrylic pens that made and the owners cancelled. I will announce this officially when I get a chance, but if you are looking for an Acrylic version, email me.

I got my Morgan LEE today.

The only slight sad thing is that I've decided for my fingers, the Morgan/Pearl shaped section is not ideal for me. It's very usable, but it's not just the material on my ebonite Herald Grande that makes it a pleasure -- I prefer the straight section. Until today, I only had the Pearl from last year in acrylic and the Herald Grande to compare.

That said, the Morgan is a beautiful pen. The "bonus chunk" of material is really very interesting because it really gives a sense of how much work Brian did to make a pen from the rod of ebonite. I love the flat top. The weight is perfect posted or unposted. The material is gorgeous.

The lessons I have learned is if I commission an Edison I want a straight section and these pens are so fantastic I'll have to keep coming up with justifications to buy them as long as Brian offers them. Thanks very much!
