Each model is available in a variety of colors and nibs. So how would this work? Would everyone participating in the drop get the same colors, same nib?

LivermanI checked the F-C website. The body/colors are all the same price. The only price differences are between regular/Masuyama nibs, and HP Steel/18K nibs. I would assume that to keep this drop on the cheaper side, we would opt for HP Steel. When it comes to the nib style I'm not sure. Some people want cursive/stub italics from Masuyama (me definitely), and others would rather have regular sizes (B, M, F,). I'm sure we can talk it out as a community. :)

LivermanHi @Liverman -- Generally, we ask vendors to make a range of colors and nib sizes available so each members can choose his/her preferred configuration at check-out. This always depends on the quantities of each model, nib, and color available at the time of the drop, and sometimes on the way a pen is made. Specifically, I will be speaking to Franklin-Cristoph soon about how this would work for their pens. I hope that answers your question. -- Jonas

thepassionatepenmanHi everyone -- Here's a quick update on the poll:
We were pleased that Franklin-Christoph made the Model 27 Collegia available. Thanks to everyone who voted and joined to make that a successful drop. If you missed it, you can request another drop here: https://www.massdrop.com/buy/franklin-cristoph-model-27-collegia
We always ask vendors to make the top-voted items available, and sometimes they're not able to meet the particular demand right away but offer alternatives that have received some votes.
Because of your support for successful drops of their Model 27 and 2-Pen Case, we're able to continue to work with Franklin-Christoph to make more products available.
Thanks to @thepassionatepenman and everyone for participating, I will keep working on the models that got the most votes and keep you all posted.
