PaperChase Anyone?

[TerraNoir]

I have sort of been looking high and low for any sort of information on my impulse buy I made. I'm not finding much at all. At Target, for what I am gathering, a limited time they have a fountain pen in a blister pack. It was only $5, so I purchased it. Its definitely interesting and pretty nice-ish. It has some serious start up issues but after you get it going its actually pretty nice.

Has anyone else seen this?

[VertOlive]

Picture please? I often scan the offerings when I dash throughTarget, but never see much in the way of fountain pens...

[Mags]

Was it a Zebra fountain pen? If so I have seen them but only on this forum. I have the rollerball version but I have yet to see the fountain pen in Target or any other store.

My Target regularly carries Pilot fountain pens, the squid pens. Sorry I forgot the official name. Just fine nibs though, so I have not purchased one yet.

Squid = Plumix!

Photos as requested. It looks like they are only here for school starting and all. I found it in the display with all of the "Back to School" stuff. I was rather shocked and went...:jaw: Then, Its only $5!!! Now I must try it! I did. Its an alright pen. Its a nice knock around to take when I'm not sure if I am going to be clumsy and lose it for $5.

Please forgive my not so great pen photos. Its a new little world for me. I promise to get better. I'm tempted to get another one to see if the nib is really -really- that bad. Or if I got a fluke. Since I did notice that the nib was poking out of the blister pack. And I'm a bit jealous that the Plumix is available in Targets near you Vert. I do love them.

Nice find, and first of all--the name of the pen is "Wonderland" ! That's pretty fab. Now I have to go see what's available at my local Target, squids, plumixes, or Wonderlands. About a foot of snow is falling right now, though, plus sleet expected tomorrow. :smow: Might be enough to slow down even a fountain pen run. (Temporarily. )

[TerraNoir]

I know right?! That's what grabbed my attention. The whimsical design is just awesome. Though they have one in just a solid black. It seems we are having the same sort of weather. It just stopped snowing here. I do hope not to wake up to any more.

Good luck on the fountain pen run!

I have three of these..... and I want more. Lovely to throw in my bag, look the ink color and all my nibs are lovely.

I bought one of these. It's a pretty good cheapie fountain pen. Mine's a basic black model. I think Paperchase is a British company. They have notebooks, pen cases, little fabric foldup totes you can drop in your purse to use as shopping bags and carryalls--that sort of thing.

Yours is much, much cooler than mine.

Paperchase is a UK chain of stationery shops. I'll have to look for these next time I go in to town!

Haha!! Well I saw the black one too. And the UK store seems to have a clear one of it too. Eye dropper conversion maybe? I like mine until the last 1/3 of the cartridge. Then it gets to be a little dry.

[inkyletters]

There's a clear one???? I might need it. Anyone up for shipping to the UK?

[inkyletters]

From the uk I meant...

I'm going to see if I can find some when I go to town on Tuesday, and see if they are as cheap as they are in the US! If they have them, do you want me to pick one up for you?

[inkyletters]

YES. you would be my overseas favorite hands down if you do. I would cover shipping as well of course :F

Shipping a small parcel seems to be not much more than a letter from here. Is it just the clear one you're interested in or any colour?

[inkyletters]

Mostly clear. I have two black and a purple. If they have other colors I wouldn't be opposed to them either (besides pink...)

[Silverbreeze]

Lol a girl not liking pink... Shock

[inkyletters]

The only reason it is a shock is because I'm actually extremely girlie. I just prefer red black and jewel tones.

I am teasing you :-)

Am anti-pink as well. It is a conspiracy.

I finally made it in to town today and found them at the back of the shop, in clear and translucent purple, for £6 (about $10)

A few had the nibs poking through the plastic packaging but not all of them. Unfortunately this one has a crack on the end (photo 3) but it writes pretty smoothly.

[inkyletters]

They are so very pretty!

[Holsworth]

I do like the idea of turning it in to an eyedropper. I think I have some o-rings upstairs from some ear tunnels I don't wear any more, so if they're the right size I may give it a go tomorrow! (though with that crack, I might test it with some water first!)
