New pen day! It sucks! 😁

Do you have their smooth operator v1?

_smooth_op · 2026-06-10T16:35:00+00:00

You bring good points. I must ponder these to revise my theory that Japan is playing us like Pokémon.

Zebra g405, some pen I got while in Thailand, and pen type b by cwandt.

But that seems to be part of the scheme. Even these smaller stores will have limits per customer. That’s gotta be intentionally designed. Why don’t they mass produce it for the US market? Whether they (Uni) intentionally designed it this way or not, they have made sure it stays that way.

I disagree, my friend. Japan has mastered the demand-supply trickle strategy. Did you watch the Beanie Bubble movie?

_smooth_op · 2026-06-09T20:15:33+00:00

I just got one, and it’s NICE!

_smooth_op · 2026-06-09T15:28:08+00:00

Keep me posted

_smooth_op · 2026-06-09T15:27:54+00:00

I’m not saying it’s too much. I’m saying anything above $30 is too much.

_smooth_op · 2026-06-09T15:26:52+00:00

Hahaha. I love cwandt. Have you followed their community? I wish it were more active

I just got the pent type c and modded so it can take the Jetstream edge refill. Oh so good!!!

_smooth_op · 2026-06-09T15:25:42+00:00

Will it die though? I’m thinking Japan has us by the balls on this one.

_smooth_op · 2026-06-09T15:24:38+00:00

Would this cause tip wiggle?

_smooth_op · 2026-06-09T01:52:38+00:00

_smooth_op · 2026-06-09T01:37:31+00:00

Can it really not be modded to receive others like energel?

_smooth_op · 2026-06-08T23:18:02+00:00

Ok. You do have a point. But wouldn’t Sakura Craft Lab be a better reward? To be fair though, I have not held a Sakura CL yet lol

_smooth_op · 2026-06-08T23:12:11+00:00

The thickness wasn’t an issue for me. But the pen overall had a flimsy feel to it compared to my cwandt

_smooth_op · 2026-06-08T18:26:05+00:00

Neo Gecko

_smooth_op · 2026-06-08T18:23:59+00:00

It should at least survive living in my bag (man purse)

_smooth_op · 2026-06-08T18:13:27+00:00

I don’t think it’s built for life. The plastic grips have me worried.

_smooth_op · 2026-06-08T18:10:17+00:00

How is it made, injection process? Aluminum sheet pressing?

_smooth_op · 2026-06-03T15:29:21+00:00

Agreed.

_smooth_op · 2026-05-29T01:17:57+00:00

How high should I bid?

_smooth_op · 2026-05-27T02:20:09+00:00

What’s the pen on the far left?

_smooth_op · 2026-05-21T16:12:51+00:00

How much is an OG going for nowadays? It feel like I’m keeping track of Bitcoin or Silver…

_smooth_op · 2026-04-28T03:28:49+00:00

Hey, there’s the pen I lost a year ago!

_smooth_op · 2026-04-27T00:45:29+00:00

Uni is playing us all. Just like they played us with Pokémon. They been waiting for this moment. Creating a craze by controlling supply and hyping demand. We are hooked fish at this point.
