    Have to say the Pacific Blue AL-star looks way better in the photos I've seen in the past couple of weeks compared to that original teaser. Trying to keep strong though

    Good luck, Lamy can't get rid of the failed 50th Black Amber version. I mean, who could have possibly thought that would be a complete flop?

    Pre-ordered the Petrol Safari with matching cartridge pack. Guess I didn't resist it after all.

    Lamy confirms that the Pacifica ink is Turquoise. I bought the pen and five cartridges, since I don't expect the bottled ink to be in short supply anytime soon. I'll spring for the Petrol in the fairly near future as soon as I can buy the ink at the same time. One thing to keep in mind is that if you happen to fall in love with a particular color, snap it up as soon as you can, because you never know if demand will outstrip supply. Last year Lamy issued the Dark Lilac. I liked it and purchased it along with a single pack of cartridges. When I got the pen and started writing with it, I immediately fell in love with the color, (never thought I'd go for purple,) and tried to buy a bottle of the ink. It was nowhere to be found. I searched high and low, and finally managed to snag the last four packs of cartridges in existence. (Literally!). The De Atramentis Purple Violet is reasonably close, and so I keep a bottle on hand, as I'm still crazy about the color. Go figure. Anyway, that's my word to the wise--if you really like it, buy it, because there's no telling when it will be all sold out.

    In another thread, Chrissy reports that Diamine Majestic Purple is very close to Lamy Dark Lilac, so you might check that color out. See her review of Majestic Purple and see what you think.

    My local stationer has 2 packs of Dark Lilac catridges left. Send me a PM if you would like me to pick them up and post them to you. $10 for the two packs including shipping to the USA.

    I've seen the dark lilac bottled ink on eBay for upwards of $75 per bottle. Amazing?

    Hardly worth it, unless as a collection item.

    Lamy Safari Petrol now available in Canada. Not the greatest photo, sorry. The matching ink was not available yet, but Noodler's Squeteague seems to match up fairly well.

    Cheers,

    Rick

    Yeah, they certainly blew that one - when they could have probably sold a thousand of each in a few days if they'd come out with the regular L2k in a bundle of colors. The 2000M is not even the anniversary pen - it's merely 5, not 50 years old...

    Lamy also re-introduced the "Scala" in piano black (previously a special edition). Now being the happy owner of a midnight blue Scala, I'm considering that. Has anybody heard rumours of the next "Studio" special edition?

    Rather than start a new thread, I thought I'd post this here: my favorite ;-) store near my office is having a sale on the Lamy Safari Petrol. Not sure if they ship abroad, but if not I'd be happy to pick one up and forward it. Unfortunately there's no mention of nib/tip size, but I can ask.

    I want the Petrol ink. Here's hoping I can pick up a bottle at the Dallas Pen Show in September.

    I don't like Lamy Safari pens enough to collect them, but the Petrol looks very nice indeed.

    I like the Safari pens enough to collect the ones I like in EF. The inks are OK but nothing special. Better had in cartridges.
