Here's an idea:
I'd rather get a discounted Lamy 2000 mechanical pencil (preferably 0.5) rather than the ink, and I'm guessing others here would be interested in getting a matching pencil/rollerball/ballpoint/multi-pen instead of the ink. Those would have the advantage of being cheaper to ship and not risk adverse effects from low temperatures during shipping.
If Lamy USA either has a fair amount of those in storage, and/or if they're waiting for Lamy Heidelberg to ship them the fountain pens, perhaps we could get the option to buy one of those at a discount, assuming this wouldn't slow things down even further?
