Orange inks have been my most recent purchases. I have the Inferno and Pumpkin from Diamine, I am probably going to have to add the Autumn Oak to the list.
What Pen are you waiting for?

Lovely colour.
I like the Dark Forest very much, except that on cheap newsprint (crossword puzzler here) and some off white paper, it is nearly identical to the Noodler's Black (wierd).
Well, wasn't I surprised when I looked closer at my "M205 Medium Nib"; I've had this pen for 12+ years and always thought that's what it was. It is actually an M200 with a Fine Nib. Just got the Marbled Blue M205 shipped from a dealer in Germany; they sent me an M200. Must be my lucky year.
Currently awaiting 2 Pilot Metropolitans in ink appropriate colors. Also 2 bottles of ink and some accessories, Herbin Rouge Grenat (nicest red I've seen) and Diamine Imperial Purple.

A little poofier than I prefer
I’ve got two orders out. The first is from Goulet. I already mentioned it in another thread, but what the hay. It’s a forest green Conklin Durograph with medium nib, a bottle of Monteverde Horizon Blue ink, a couple Clairefontaine notebooks, and some miscellaneous cleaning supplies. The second order is from Walmart.com, of all places, where I happened upon a great price on a black Kaweco Student with fine nib. That particular model really caught my eye. And since I’m in a Mr. Toad mania for all things fountain pen at the moment, I ordered it too. So I’m hoping two new pens with different nibs, on top of the Pilot Metro I got for Christmas, and a big bottle of ink should keep me busy for a while.
That Kaweco is a nice classic looking pen! If I didn't already have 2 I was waiting on, that could have caused me to pull the trigger on it right then and there.
Ordered a Christmas present from Germany, the M205 blue marbled EF nib from Seitz-Kreuznach with the old historic 4001 royal blue ink bottle. First new pen in a good long while.

Again, while I didn't purchase writing instruments this month (I think I have enough...for now [wink]), I'm waiting on;
1) a antique style Rocking Ink Blotter. This reproduction desk ink blotter looks and feels like an old ink blotter from times long past. The blotter is hand crafted from hardwood, stained a beautiful antique finish (almost like my rollertop desk), and measures 4½in long, 2½in wide, 2½in tall and weighs less than 1lb.
2) 10 sheets (pink), of J. Herbin Blotter Paper Refills.
I ordered from Massdrop not one, but two Pelikan Jazz Elegance (M) fountain pens. One in black, the other white. $14.99 each including a package of six cartridges for each. They are supposed to arrive by Friday. (1/25)

I've got an Esterbrook J inbound that I was hoping would be here today. But its not, so now I'm all antsy. Hopefully tomorrow (fingers crossed).
If I press the checkout button tomorrow, there will be a Pilot Custom 823 Amber on its way to me.
I was doing some notes with my Nemosine Singularity, and decided I really wasn't into the fine nib on it. Went looking for replacement nibs, found them but they are like $15 each. Brand new whole pens are $20. Take a guess who has 2 new Nemosine pens on the way, one in broad, one in .6mm stub. lol
Pilot Custom 823 Amber (by Wednesday)
Pelikan M600 Red/Black (by the 15th)
I swear these are my last pen purchases....for a month or two....I have my eye on an M800 Green

Fellow 'Pensters':
Again, while I didn't purchase writing instruments this month (I think I have enough...for now [wink]), I'm waiting on a vintage (70’s perhaps?), MB Inkwell (w/o box).
It's in great condition and when received, I'll clean (if necessary), and re-fill this inkwell with black (permanent), ink and place in my roll-top desk.

Pilot Metropolitan, Gold, with medium nib.
The estimated delivery date is my birthday.
It doesn't have a lot of line width difference between vertical and horizontal strokes, just enough to give it a wee bit of character. You can get narrower horizontal strokes if you hold it a bit more towards vertical.

I have a 0.6 mm stub on my Nemosine Fission. Very smooth, and it's my EDC pen.
