Most of my collection consists of Lamy Safari pens. I just really love the bright colors and affordable durability of the pen. Here are some pics I've taken:

Yes according to Brandon but they are harder to pull off the Hero.

Thanks! I haven't actually tried swapping the Hero and Lamy nibs yet - the Hero M nib wrote so nicely I wasn't even tempted haha :)

Absolutely really like the one in the "Meadow Green" photo--is that a current color or is it one of those $600.00 collector greens like Savannah?

Unfortunately, it's the 2008 Limited Edition Lime Green Safari color - so it's pretty hard to find now. The closest is the 2012 Apple Green which is still fairly available on ebay.

Sadly, this Limited Edition Coffee Al-Star was recently lost:

Pink is such a juicy summery color:

I've been posting a series of pics on Instagram on what I've named my Lamys, and thought I would add them to this thread - for I admit, yes, I have named them.

More Lamy Safari Pen Porn!

I recently got the 2014 Neon Coral Limited Edition and LOVE the color! No, it doesn't have a name yet.

But it looks really awesome next to the greens/limes:

And while the 2014 Bluegreen Al-Star is more green than blue, I still really like the color:

Just sharing some additional Lamy porn - mostly because these colors make me happy:

It is, as far as I know there has only been one brown Lamy Al-Star! It's official name was Coffee though. Do you have it yet - what do you think?? I've been tempted to get another ever since mine was lost. But they're a little higher than my budget wants to pay right now since they are so hard to find!!

Coffee, for, me, is more dear than Chocolate so I'm in!

Not here yet, it's coming from "missing-pen" in Germany via eBay. He had more than one; I paid $56., if that helps.

My latest Lamy love-affair is with the new 2015 LE Copper Orange Al-Star. It's such a brilliant warm copper, it's one of those pens that's way better in person.
