    I have seen them in a few stores locally and they will last a while due to the price... but once they are gone...
    Really? It's the opposite from what I heard. I heard that Pilot will resume production after a while once they have solved the production problem and they plan to make it a regular lineup. I was always assuming that the scarcity of vermillion color is more a marketing thing than actual production problem because the lacquer itself is not scarce and I don't quite see a difference in techniques...... Anyways, I have commissioned someone to do one vermillion body and one vermillion raden body that take Platinum sections and that's pretty much the end of story for me.
