I've got a few of them now. For the standard pens I have a 494 that I don't particularly care for, & a double-side 469-26 with a fine nib on one side and a rollerball on the other which I like quite a bit. Then I have each of the "Year of the XYZ" limited editions so far: 535 Year of the Ox which is probably my favourite vac filler, 546 Year of the Tiger which is kinda strange but fun, and the 548 Year of the Rabbit which I've only had for a week or so but I'm loving so far. I'm really looking forward to seeing what they do for the Year of the Dragon.
I didn't know that they started as a forum, which explains the "BBS" part of the name. I'd always wondered about that!
I fell off the Penbbs wagon in the recent years, but I still keep an eye on their store. Like you, I am waiting for the Year of the Dragon, as that’d also be my zodiac sign, so naturally, I have to have it. I admire what they’ve done with the annual editions, but I appreciate that they’re not everyone’s cup of tea. The 469 is absolutely delightful!
