Sheaffer Snorkel!
Just received my Airmail/Wality "Black Beauty" piston filler. Very smooth but veryfine nib. I especially like the big ink window. Pictures will be uploaded later.
A Geha Stainless model. Not quite sure of the model number but I liked the look of the pen. Very Lamy.
Images are not mine. still waiting for delivery.

I got my GEHA Schulfüller (school fountain pen) today. It's a model from the 60's and has an ink reservoir. A nice piston filler, but it needed a lot of nib tweaking (=scratchy as hell). It is the flexiest pen I have got so far (goes from F to about 1,5mm). I can't use the flex as I am left-handed, but the added springiness of the nib is very welcome.
I'm more and more falling in love with German 50's-70's school/student pens: Cheap, piston fillers, easy to maintain, nice springy fine to medium nibs.
Not a whole pen but a Kaweco Sport Classic 1.1 mm stub and clip. Also a couple of Chinese pens with one Pilot 78G with a broad stub thrown in to balance it all out.

I'm waiting on two Parker Vacumatic Shadow Waves for my personal collection, a Waterman Hundred Year Pen, and another vintage Aurora 88 w/ a Nikargenta cap.
Now waiting for a Namiki Vanishing point from an ebay auction win.
I'm waiting again: another bottle of ink, a black Ahab (thanks to fpgeeks!), and a black Sheaffer Snorkel with a triumph nib.

Is it legal to claim to be waiting for a pen I haven't bought? I'm waiting for tomorrow when I can order a Twsbi Micarta and then I'll be waiting for it.
Pelikan120, green striated. Hmmm, looks like it may be the 55'-63' 140 instead. If so, I think I may have gotten it cheap. I'll have to wait until I actually get it to be sure.

You guys are hardcore. I've only bought one pen in march (me twisbi.) I might be purging some unused pens soon to make some room in the pen case...
TWSBI Micarta Broad nib with clip
Congrats picautomaton, I too succeeded and am now waiting for a TWSBI Micarta and also chose with the clip, though it was a tough decision, and chose the medium nib. I couldn't help wonder how many pens they sold on the first day of sales? Geeks, any way to find out?
My pelikan m400 arrives tomarrow! (back from the repair shop.....
Micarta, clip broad. didn't like the price but since the beginning the material and shape wanted a place in my collection.
Thanks writingrav, and congrats to you on your purchase. 100 bucs for a pen made in a run of a thousand seems good value to me. That makes the Micarta a limited edition of sorts. I can't wait...
TWSBI Micarta fine no clip

Do wishes count? The Delta Dolce Vita Oro is on my summer list (to buy)!
