2013 LE Safari - Neon Yellow

[Bogon07]

Didn't pink predate aqua by one year?

Or more (?) It was odd; only for three countries too IIRC, Austria, Belgium and ????

mmmmm according to a list of Safaris the pink was issued atleast twice:
2009 - cap has a pink dot
2011 - cap has a pink cross

There is a thread over on FPN which details all the Safaris.

I wouldnt mind a red stealth...they could just offer the clips like they do nibs..put a black clip on what ever pen you wanted. I could go for a maroon no purple though.

Who is going to get a neon Safari then? If it is true they will only do one run of them, then I may get one when they come out!

I'll be getting one if I can. And maybe go for the black nib option if available. There is still plenty of room in the Safari box for a few more.
I suspect this yellow may grow on you over time. It seems sort of cleaner than the original when they are side-by-side.

I'm going to get one as soon as I find one available. I love me some brightly colored pens...

Lamy base the colour of the special Safari's on the colour that is going to be in fashion in the summer of that year - apparently yellow is back in fashion this year. From what I understand it's going to be like a highlighter yellow.

I'd like to see a purple too but I guess we'll have to wait until purple comes in to fashion.

I've noticed a few places doing pre-orders for the neon yellow safari but the seemingly cheapest I've found is somewhere called The Pen and Paper. http://www.penandpaper.co.uk/products/lamy-safari-neon-yellow-2013-special-edition-fountain-pen---pre-order.html

I think I'll probably get it, is anybody getting it.

P.s I'm new to the forum.

Hi James_S and welcome to the Lamy subforum.

I think there are a lot of people wishing for a purple Safari.

I wonder which fashion Lamy follow ?
Last year or the the one before I recall the fashion colour was a sort of peach but didn't really notice it about anywhere.

Me memememeeeeee.

Having missed out on Savannah and Terra Cotta I now make it a habit to get a LE every year.

[Toffer]

Hello James_s welcome. I will get it, according to the Bureau direct email they think it will be here shortly, possibly next week. Hopefully in before my 10% off runs out!!

Received my Neon safari yesterday, wow its certainly neon, looks good though, came in a different box as well.

This "booger" green pen is on auction at ebay and with three days to go, it's already at $640. I love the color but $640?!?!

Whaaaa $640 for a Safari. I like them but not that much. For that sort of price I'd buy a couple of regular ones and experiment with some spray cans.

About a year or so ago, I saw one selling for $200. I already found that over the top. But I do wish Lamy would bring back this color.

[reprieve]

I would like to see a bright violet purple Safari.

I do like the neon yellow, though, and will probably eventually pick one up. It should be nice and blinding next to the my lime green.

[Bogon07]

Bugger the Neon Yellow does not glow in the dark .....how disappointing. But it is almost bright enough to blind you.

Lamy Safari Neon Yellow compared to new yellow and old yellow






Savannah, Apple Green, Lime, Neon, new yellow, old yellow

[Sailor Kenshin]

WHERE did you get your Neon?

[jor412]

That's what it's called. Savannah green and it sold for $710 on ebay last week.
