When I purchased this set, I received a letter from the Official Pokemon League saying I was way over the age-limit to be starting out the journey to become a Pokemon master. All I wanted was to be the very best, like no one ever was.
So I used this pen and with my beautiful penmanship, wrote them a reply letter saying that they are age-ists and that I would be joining Team Rocket instead! Meowth that's right.
Because it is a limited edition, it has collectible value and the design is cute. Performance is also good. If you like Safari fountain pens, buy it and you won't regret it.
The set was new and exactly as advertised. As far as I know, you have to remove the batteries in order to export. So the box and container were opened prior to shipment and the batteries were removed. There were no scratches or mishandling. The cover over the two CR2032 batteries (which I bought) was not completely seated so it was easy to lift off. I used needle nose pliers to pull out the circuit card and install the batteries then push it back in by hand. Got the Pikachu voice to work. Kids love it. It's the standard Safari entry level pen. The adapter works well for easy refills. I let my kids draw and write with it. Great way for them appreciate fountain pens and have fun. Actually got this for myself and it ends-up this is the only fountain pen my kids have ever wanted to use.
If you're a collector, don't bother. you won't get a minty fresh one since they have to remove the batteries, it will be a little marked up. $145 is a nightmarishly scalped price and you will never see that kind of money back out of it.
If you REALLY love pikachu and plan on USING this, it's expensive but not appalling. The wobbly weighted pokeball pen stand is really nice, the lamy safari is a cool special edition, and you get a pen case and converter. Total value here is like $50 or $60 worth of stuff. Whether that's worth $100 premium just to have a really cool pokemon theme is up to you. I'm a hardcore pokemon fan, but I really can't bring myself to use it. I'll probably just resell it in a few years.
My experience is the same as many other buyers. The product was obviously opened and used before. There are scruffs all over, the battery was removed.
I paid more than double over retail for a used set and it wasn't even mentioned. This just isn't worth it.
Was somewhat disappointed to receive the box already opened and the battery removed. The top of the case was scuffed, and indeed was not even attached to the bottom half of the case. Given the price, would have expected a bit better handling.
My unit was damaged where the battery was removed and the pen case was badly scuffed all around the outside. For paying so much over the retail cost, it would have been nice if the items were treated with care.
JSK21The Limited Edition Pikachu LAMY is a pen with a special case that makes Pikachu noises whenever you open it. For transportation purposes, the battery is removed before shipping for this drop. Unfortunately, the battery removal is not done very carefully and causes quite a bit of damage to the case. So if you only care about the pen, there are significantly cheaper LAMY Safari pens out there. You would only pay this price if you really wanted to get the extras like the case.
The box was pretty scuffed when I got it. Someone had removed the included cartridge and the typical brown cardboard ring that comes with the pen. Overall not a dealbreaker (because I plan to use it, not collect), but for such a high price, you'd expect better handling.
I admittedly only really got this as a display piece and haven't even inked the pen, but when your favorite pen brand makes a pokemon pen, you get it. I have no complaints, it looks great
