== Vodka Martini Pens ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' It's also, like, if you like vodka martinis, this is, it's the exact same color palette, right? Like, it would work just as well. Yeah. I think this absolutely, they nailed it with that one. The rest of them, I mean, they just look fun, right? Color-wise?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' They look like they've done, yeah, they look like they've done them before. Especially the orange. Like, they've done a lot of orange. I think the blue train is actually one of the more interesting ones. They've done a lot of blue pens, but not in this type of setup. Yeah. The purple and the green are, you know, pretty common types of mix and match colors that they use a lot of. But yeah, I think it's cool. Like, all these are the standard Pro Gears, the 21, 21 karat gold nibs, you know, the full-size Pro Gear. They're all at the new price point, you know, which makes them probably like around $380 US.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, if you've got, you can buy, so Fontaplumo, the link for Fontaplumo in the show notes, they've got them all up here. You can buy it all five at once. You can buy a set, yeah. And it's 16, oh, that's not including VAT. Ah, you see, that's how they get you. So they're like, yeah, $390 each. You don't get any, if you buy the whole thing, they're $390 each. So it's like €1950 including VAT. So you do not really get savings for buying all five at once. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I think these will be popular. This is also an international release, which means not available in Japan, I believe is how they define international. But, so this will be a worldwide release if you're interested in these types of pins. You know, you should be able to, you should be able to acquire one.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And these are regular size Pro Gear?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, the full, the big size Pro Gear.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Ah, $400, man.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' We're going to talk about that in a minute with our wonderful show sponsor. I actually have a tip, a pro tip. I love pro tips. When we get into our good friends at Penchelle, let's talk about them.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It is. And this actually has something on the list that I've been shopping for, which is the new Montegrappa Elmo 02 fountain pen. I've talked about how much I love the Montegrappa Elmo. I'm guessing I'm going to call it the 01 now. So this one is a little bit upgraded in like the trim design of the pen.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Do you think, Brad, that this pen has a problem with Rocco?

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's cool. That's, you know what I was hoping that was going to happen? I like you there.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I like you, Myke.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Has that gone over your head or did you get it?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I mean, I kind of get it. Like, I'm just trying to think of Elmo's pink friend. What's her name? Katie. Katie. Yeah. That's all I'm thinking about. But yes, I get it. Good memes.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I enjoyed that one a lot. I'll put a link in the show if you have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Good job by you. So, yeah, Zoe. That's who I'm thinking of. Zoe. That's who I'm thinking of. Maybe that's like an American British translation thing. I don't know. Anyway. Oh, Zoe.

'''Myke Hurley:''' No, I just got that wrong. Zoe, not Katie.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, Zoe. There's also, I'm kind of shocked to see this Visconti opera carousel. These demonstrator ballpoints at a really, really outrageously low price. Like, that's not normally my thing, right? That style. And I know you're not a Visconti clip person, but the price is pretty, pretty great. They also have the Piniter Alchemist, which I think is a killer name for a pin. I think it's a cool color. Yeah, I don't have one of those. So, yeah. And then if you scroll down to the bottom, there's a Platinum 3776. They have a few of the celluloid models, Myke, which people have been checking out in the past.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Let me tell you, one of the ones that they've got there is the Cherry Blossom. Yes. It's great. And Adina has that one, and it's awesome.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep. All right. So, let me get to you. Before we wrap up this ad, since this is still considered the ad, let me get to this. It's not a tip. It's more of a confusion in a positive way for consumers. So, the Sailor Pro Gear Limited Edition T-Time Series, the red one in the slim body is only $200. And they just came out with this pin. I don't know why the price is not $280, since this is a newly launched pin. It's, if you're into sailors and haven't been able to, you know, justify the price since the price increase, this is a brand new launch, like, within the past month. And the price is crazy low for the red T-Time Series. So, it's, you should check it out. Like, there's not many left. Oh, look at that. But it's only $200, so. It's nice looking, too. Yeah. It's great. It's a great pin. And it's as good a price as you're going to find sailor these days. And you can get it through our good buddies over at Pen Chalet. So, yeah. All right. There's my sailor tip.
