== Future Lamy Releases ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' We're going to get to that in a minute on another product, yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Right. And so, like, it's just where they are with it. I think it's super cool. I will be keeping my eye out for when they become available. I would like to pick up both of them. I'm really keen to see what the inks are like, if they have matching inks.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That was a big question. Because these are ideal for that, in my opinion. Yeah. Right? These are not complex, complicated colors, I don't think, to make some cool matching inks. But I haven't seen anything pop yet. But if they're doing most of a lineup, right? They're not just doing fountain pens. They're doing roller balls and ballpoints. No pencils. I would think they would pop in some inks. But it's a little interesting. They usually, historically, have sold those together. Right? They come out as a group. So, why would they release the pens and then the inks, you know, two months later? But, I mean, that wouldn't stop them from selling the heck out just because people would buy it. I mean, myself included. So, I found it interesting that there's not inks yet. But I would love to see inks for both of these because I think they would be fantastic. In the show notes, we'll put some links to someone who had the original terracotta and Savannah Green that I found on Flickr, which is a name I haven't heard in quite a long time. But I found a cool photo set with some original pictures. They are, I mean, they look brand new, right? They look exactly like these. They really do. If you had to pick only one color, Myke, which one would you go with?

'''Myke Hurley:''' I would probably go with the Savannah Green.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Why is that? Because I think that's exactly right. I think that's, for some reason, this Savannah Green really sticks out. It seems more vintage-y now, 40 years later, than the Terra Red.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Safari, I think of green, that green, right? Like, that is the Safari color, right? Like, if you're thinking of safaris, like what you imagine is like a Safari outfit or a Jeep. It's that kind of green color. And also, while I am like maybe more drawn to the terracotta, I have a lot of orange pens. Like, if I'm only, even though like, I don't own a straight up orange Safari. Safari. Same. Which is funny, because they don't, you know, I don't remember them even making one recently.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' They've done one a long time ago. Yeah. But it might have been special edition.

'''Myke Hurley:''' But so it's kind of like, I would want to, if I'm only going to buy one of them, I would get one that is really different to the pens that I own. Yeah. I don't own a color even closer to the Savannah Green. But my intention will be to try and pick both of these up, because I don't expect them to be very expensive, because they're still safaris.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' They are not. I have pre-ordered mine.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh, okay.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' And I paid, so I bought.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh, yeah. Look at that. They're on Fontapulma. They're like 20 euro. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. I bought two green and two orange. One set for me, one set to give away. And I think I've paid total international shipping and everything less than $100 US. Like, they're just, they're inexpensive pens. That's what's so beautiful about the Safari. It's just a dang good pen. Yeah. And it's funny you say that about the green, too, because I feel exactly the same way, and I can't pinpoint why. But that Savannah Green is killer. They're obviously both going to, they'll sell out. They're both killer. I mean, it's like 1A, 1B, right? But they're fantastic. So shop around. They're at, they're starting to pop at all kinds of retailers now.
