'''Myke Hurley:''' But it looks like a classic or like a 580, like in what they, you know, what it actually is, right? Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It looks like a 5. It's really built shape and size-wise around the 580, which is a pretty large-ish pen.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Because I was just wondering, like, what is the guts of the pen? And they're not saying. Yeah. Yeah. But it's probably, like, a 580. So, it's twice the price of a 580, but it's limited edition and it's got cool colors. Like, I think it's a decent deal. I would like to see them push more into this range.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. And I think, like, you kind of hit on why I'm interested in this. It's not this singular pen per se, but it's what is TWSBI trying to do with this pen for the future. And we've always kind of fawned over some of the crazy pictures and prototypes and things that they've posted and saying, I want that. I want that. I want that. Well, maybe now they're getting comfortable and able to produce some of the smaller batch stuff. So, I wanted to get this into the record so in the future we have, like, a starting point. It's like, hey, TWSBI tried something here and look what's come out of it. That's what I'm most interested about and what they're doing this. Like, that's how I look at this pen. It's like, is this the start of something or is this, like, a one-off? And so, I want to kind of, I'm going to definitely kind of pay attention to this because I find it to be, like, very interesting from a brand like TWSBI who can, who is big enough to have wide exposure but small enough to be able to move faster than, say, a Lamy or a Pelican or any of these type of companies, right, to be able to do something like this. Mm-hmm. So, it's super interesting to me.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. And again, as I said, like, I hope to see more, right? Like, I want to see them do more of this stuff, especially at those price points.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right, right. Yeah. It's kind of perfect. Like, it's right where it needs to be as far as price and quality and interest. So, like you, I'm interested to get one in hand. Maybe someone in Atlanta will have one.
