Product Description
Featuring a sleek lacquered metal body, the Lamy Studio fountain pen offers a contemporary take on the classic cigar-shaped design. The pocket clip is reminiscent of a propeller, its chrome plating providing a gleaming complement to the palladium finish Read More
Folks: This is the fourth or fifth item that shows up in a ‘Drop’ and is immediately sold out. Why? Well in light of Drop’s imminent shut-down of the communities that mattered (EDC, watches, knives, etc) its pretty clear - they are having a fire sale, maybe with no sale prices. “Hey, we got 17 of those Lamy pens from 2018 left - let’s run the same copy as we did three years ago and shove ‘em out the door at the same price as when they were new. The suckers won’t know the difference.”
The disrespect for the consumers and the communities continues.
PhilTheKnifeGuyIve noticed this in a few items listed recently. I, very similarly to yourself, thought, “wow, so they must’ve finally remembered where they put the key to warehouse closet 114c”.
Obviously i’m paraphrasing for clarity. My exact thoughts were probably closer to, “‘wow, so they must’ve finally remembered where they put the key to....that closet. Cause they.. like had the key and stored a small number of goods that were to be shipped. Then they gave the key to the intern for safe keeping..’
4 years later to the day.

-‘hey guys, i think im finally getting my -moderate- luck back. i stepped in some dog sh*t while wearing my new airwalks while walking to work. This wasnt a big deal cause it happens often, but when i reached down to pull it off with my bare hands i found a key! I wonder where it goes.’”
i guess what im trying to say is that i agree with you
PhilTheKnifeGuyexcept most of the time it’s not Drop holding the physical stock...so there’s that.

I have bought a few things from Massdrop, but now you’re “Drop” and have eliminated most of the communities, there is little of interest to me. This pen was a welcome change, however it sold through before I could even consider it. FYI—I enjoyed Massdrop because of the communities—even though I did not quilt or need another knife, I learned from other Massdrop folks about their products, interests, experiences....
Drop—you have completely destroyed everything—the site, choice of products and most important, the communities. I have not posted in over a year, this is my last. Massdrop/Drop folks—I have no bone to pick with you and wish you well.
Seriously? The one thing from you that I have been interested in for over a year and it is sold-through before I even get a shot at one... Site just gets worse and worse.
How is it this sold out if I just got the email? It seems like this is just bait to open up the email. I’m sure there is Crossover, but I don’t give a fuck about keyboards, headphones and key caps. I came here for the knives, edc gear and pens.
please stop the bait and switch drop.
You can get this for slightly less at Endlesspens for EF, F, and M, but it's a preorder meaning it won't ship for a while which doesn't save you any time vs Massdrop, though you never know with Drop and neither do they sometimes. Endlesspen also had other nib sizes for more.
Well, I will have to see if I can get mine warrantied... its been in my desk because a few weeks after arrival the screw in the cap came loose and now the plastic housing that locks the cap and pen together is out ... I cannot secure the pen. However, as per the writing and the holding, weight, etc. this feels like a good Lamy pen to me - not like the 2000 as I own many Lamy pens, the Lamy 2000 is the best, maybe ever, I love them.
Sms66That's tragic - reach out to Lamy directly, they have really good customer support and IDK their warranty but when I got one that came without a gold nib, they turned it around with a new nib. A new cap should be trivial for them also IMO.
