== Lamy Safari ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, listen to last week's episode. But, you know, as big of a fan of orange as I am, you know, I want these things, right? Basic Lamy Orange ink. And at the end of the show, and we even went into the post show after this.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Which is why you should listen live because sometimes weird and wonderful things happen.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, we had some weird stuff happen in the post show last week, but I was like, anyone send me a link where I can buy this thing and I'll buy it right now. And it turns out a company in the UK had it and Myke ordered it. So, my first question before we get into this, Myke, is do we want to link to that store again? Because I'm honestly a little bit concerned about doing that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Why?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Because of what it says on the box.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh. Yeah, I mean, so here's what I'll say. We shouldn't link to them, but I found it very easily via Google. It didn't take me very long to find that. So, I would say that if you are Googling and you're looking in maybe in Google Shopping, I think might have been where I came across it, for a UK website, you could find it possibly. And we'll get to that in a little bit, maybe.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, so when we were reading this blog post, one of the things that turned up in the post was the ink box that these orange cartridges came in was an official LAMI product, LAMI box, and the back of the box said not for sale. Or what was the terminology exactly? Exactly.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So, a bunch of different languages. It just says not for sale. So, that's in German, I believe, in English, and in French, maybe some other. Yeah, because I think in other languages, right? We've got Venta Prohibida, which might be Italian. I don't know. But it says not for sale on these boxes.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right. So, we were wondering when we ordered it, one, what are we getting? Are we going to get the LAMI orange cartridges that we saw in this review? Are we going to get the copper orange that was popular a couple years ago? And, you know, are these, is this a real product that's actually going to deliver? And it actually is. So, Myke put in the order and got a box of LAMI cartridges that say not for sale on the back. So, we have the LAMI orange ink cartridges, which Anna in the chat room was very active in this, too, because she's in France and was able to find these. And she was big on this hunt as well. So, I really appreciate that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's very confusing, though, because everywhere that I have seen them lists these, I think, is LAMI T10 orange. But that is also seen as the title in listings of LAMI copper orange T10.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So, what is T10? Is that the name of a cartridge? Is it the name of a collar? Do we know?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, I don't know. I imagine it's the general product number, product designation for a LAMI ink cartridge, but I could be wrong.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Okay. So, I have no idea what's going on here. But I have, and I'm using right now, a LAMI orange ink. I don't have anything to compare it to. I don't have the copper, but we're being told in the chat room that T10 is the size. But this is a relatively bright orange, kind of, I would say, close-ish to Fuyugaki.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Mm-hmm. Yeah, it's a bright orange, which is why we wanted it so bad, why I wanted it so bad, why this became a thing. But I'm a little bit concerned that the shop is actually selling not-for-sale products. I don't, I mean, like, I'll buy them all day long. I just don't want them to get in trouble, which I don't think they will. Like, believe me, I don't think anything will happen. But I'm a little bit, you know, a little bit hesitant.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Well, because we have no idea what's going on here. Like, are these old inks? Are these new inks? Like, were these promotional materials? Like, we don't, we have no idea what the situation is.
