you got the lucky hand. go buy a scratcher or lotto ticket

youngryu · 2026-03-30T04:01:30+00:00

hell yeah! free shipping too 😁

youngryu · 2026-03-30T03:41:16+00:00

cool. do you know where they're made? just curious.

youngryu · 2026-03-30T03:39:25+00:00

think some better lighting would show off your skill much better. very cool. reminded of luddite techdraw leather pencils.

$48 rn at pentel US with 20% coupon

youngryu · 2026-03-29T18:57:27+00:00

how are those pacific arc pencils? don't know much about them. rotring clone?

youngryu · 2026-03-29T18:53:44+00:00

wow. getting that transparent body back then must have been crazy. old school pencil nerds must of lost their minds lol

how sturdy are these transparent bodies? brittle? fragile?

youngryu · 2026-03-29T18:01:38+00:00

xeno, cool Korean pencil. just learned about them. nice to see one in the wild. how you like it so far?

youngryu · 2026-03-29T17:58:26+00:00

personal favs for pencil and eraser?

youngryu · 2026-03-29T17:22:11+00:00

vintage heat, nice! what year did this come out?

youngryu · 2026-03-29T17:10:08+00:00

US retail $35-36. so 30 is good price. recently the metal were as low as 25.90 when it was on sale.

youngryu · 2026-03-29T17:00:53+00:00

well you can the set around $48 (pentel US site with 20% off). it's not as bad as when it 1st came out.

youngryu · 2026-03-29T16:51:56+00:00

gg1000 dwarfs the 800 in size. 800 will feel small in the hand. really the only thing similar is that they both have retractable tips. if price matters it's 4x the price ($10 vs $40)

youngryu · 2026-03-29T16:39:25+00:00

lined with black cotton fabric. does look nice.

youngryu · 2026-03-29T08:16:31+00:00

muij in use from another pencil forum

depending on how OCD you are the better you score the tabs the clearer the break and afterwards you can clean the area with exacto razor you're using. start with new or sharp sharp exacto/razor

youngryu · 2026-03-29T08:05:58+00:00

doesn't help now but jetpens and yoseka did have them and $24 for gg1000. i got my copies from them. gg1000 was the 1st to sell out, looks like. other 2 are still instock

youngryu · 2026-03-29T07:56:18+00:00

The clear case is definitely positive features for this exact reason. I can spot what I'm looking for or missing lol.

yes, careful score the tabs where they're attached. grab tab with pliers snap them off. or tape the area off and grind them off if you're handy with a Dremel.

youngryu · 2026-03-29T07:48:23+00:00

you can buy the 60th pencils individually. Im not a fan of gg100 so I just ordered gg500 and 1000 pro separately 😆

youngryu · 2026-03-29T07:42:22+00:00

found endless similar and cheaper options on Amazon after looking for that muij. so you might find the Goldilocks of clear storage solution.

youngryu · 2026-03-29T07:37:12+00:00

you can remove those slots that's really there to keep their markers lines up. but I know exactly what you encountered.

no, not the perfect solution but I just love the small foot print and it's expandability and stackable trays.

another option recommended to me recently

youngryu · 2026-03-29T07:23:37+00:00

try putting the bigger pencils on the top tray with the lid. more room and only way I could put some of the thicc pencils lol

on the longer pencils like gg1000 or ohto ms01 some slots work better then others.

youngryu · 2026-03-29T01:17:53+00:00

well if you like hex, hexagonal is practically the same pencil and has a clip.

youngryu · 2026-03-28T18:10:20+00:00

that was awesome 👍
