Pelikan Souveran M400 / M405
Pelikan Souveran M400 / M405
I hope this drop returns -- especially as Pelikan's inventory count was off last time and not everyone who ordered was able to get their pen.
I personally think that would be a great idea. There have been plenty of gold trim Pelikan drops so far. I'm curious to see how folks respond to rhodium trim in comparison.

How about including all the Rhodium trim Pelikans in the drop?
M405/605/805?
M405/605/805?

Wow @writeon, that's a lot of rhodium all in one place ! While this would be quite an offering, there are a few things that make a drop like this unlikely:
1) The many variations and combinations of colors, trims, nib sizes, etc. make fountain pen drops complicated to structure and present in a logical way, collect orders for, and fulfill accurately.
2) Also, we display one photo and price (at the lowest drop point) up front, and we don't want to show a price or picture that misrepresents the product being offered.
3) We sometimes run drops of a pen model that is offered in styles at different prices, and list those price differences in the description note and on the options at check-out. However, we give some thought to the costs of 'upgrades' relative to the pen's MSRP.
We put a lot of thought into how to present similar models, styles, lines, etc. in the best way for members, and I appreciate you taking time to let us know what you'd like to see listed.
P.S. - Does anyone want M400 Ballpoints or Rollerballs if we can offer them on a future drop?

Any one of the 405/605 will do.. We are flexible :D
I would like a 405 rollerball please. If possible, as a set with the fountain pen.

No problem, Jonas. Hopefully the blue M405 will be one of those options. The 5 in M405 indicates pens with silver trim. The M400 is only available with gold trim, which I don't really care for. I realize more people will be willing to buy an M400 offered in a variety of colors, but I was hoping to start a drop for folks that want a silver trimmed Pelikan. Whatever works, though. Thanks!
The M800 and M1000 are represented in other polls. I was hoping to instigate a drop for the most affordable gold nib Pelikan. Even at Massdrop prices, I won't be buying an M800 or M1000.

Hi @NickelOak, thanks for starting this poll - I hope we can make it happen.
I changed the title because it was very specific, and a potential drop for the Souveran M400/405 would likely be for a variety of colors and nib sizes. Hopefully, this will encourage more people to vote and increase the chances of making this work.

how about 800/805? or even the 1000?
I have a vintage Pelikan 140 with OBB nib, an M215 Lozenge fitted with an M400 OM nib, a '90s model M250 with M nib, and a 90s model M200 with OB nib. I've wanted a modern M400/M405 with an extra fine or fine nib for quite some time now, and I think the blue looks sharp with the black and silver!
