LAMY 2008 New Pens

Euro has been such strong, exchange rate increased a lot since last year.  Most pen vendors from Europe will have significant price increase ranging from 10% to 30% depending on product range.  Brands affected include LAMY, Stabilo, Faber Castell for the moment.  Luckily we still have some room to continue the old price until March 2008, so if you are in Hong Kong, go grab a LAMY soon at city'super/LOG-ON.

I got some samples of the new arrival from LAMY a few days ago.  The very nice Balloon series now has two new colors in addition to their original Red and Blue. The orange is my favorite and green is also like candy.  All Balloon rollerballs are fitted with T11 cartridges, stainless-steel writing tip 0.7mm erasable washable royal-blue ink.  Body and front part made of translucent clear plastic, cap likewise with distinctive white elastic plastic clip.
My son at the age of 3 took it and started to draw circles pretty easily in 15 seconds.
In addition to the Balloon series, LAMY also launched a black Safari rollerball pen following the success of the 2007 Summer Limited Edition.  Using the same shiny black ABS plastic, LAMY will also introduce a mechanical pencil and a ball point similar to LAMY s2 mechanical pencil and s2 Ballpoint (seen in the following image).
