Yeah, it's cute and all, and it's a cheery yellow, but it just looks so plastic! Given the usual price range for Lamy Safaris, I shouldn't really be surprised. I paid a premium for the scarcity/limited edition factor on this pen. It's the first time I don't think that the premium is 100% justified. I understand it, but I still don't think it's justified. Ah, well...lesson learned. The Sailor x LINE friends "Sally" is about triple the price, and it's a much nicer pen. Again, not surprising.

None of that diminishes my appreciation for other Lamy products--my vintage Ratio, my Dialog cc and my Dialog 3, my burlwood Accent, my Imporium and the other assorted intermediate price pens.
