What Pen are you waiting for?

Received my Sailor Professional Gear with M nib from J-Subculture yesterday. Filled it with Sailor Yama-Dori ink. Beautiful pen....
Waiting on a 78G.
Still waiting. Of course, my wife left home for 30 minutes Friday, and you guessed it. That is when the UPS truck came!
COD for customs duty, so I had to go get a Cashier's Check and hopefully she'll still be at home tomorrow when they try again. Grrrrr.

Jinhao 159... got an order in with Goulet (never, ever order anything online while having a cold and taking meds!!! that gets way out of hand
) that includes some other nice things... but only that pen for now.

It came in. 
Lately, I just can't help myself!I'm waiting on a 1950's Osmia/Faber-Castell 661 (14k OBB), a 1950's Lamy 27 (14k B), and a brown Aston Leather single pen slip.
Franklin-Christoph Pocket 66 in Ice finish with a 1.9mm Music nib. This will be my first music nib. Looking forward to laying down some nice lines.
I just received a Noodler's Flex nib on Friday and I am quite happy with its performance. I am awaiting a set of Zebra Comic nibs. I should be getting them on Tuesday if the mail does not mess things up.
I'm waiting on a 1950's Pelikan 100n with F nib and fluted clip and cap band.
A Clear Kaweco Sport Classic (M), a Platinum Preppy (F), a bunch of bottles of ink, some ink samples, a replacement nib, a couple of leather pen slips, a leather pen case, a converter or two, and some empty plastic ink vials.
Cobalt Blue Balance II (stub), Aubergine Intrigue, Esterbrook CX-100 w/gold plated 3668 (but no sunburst design- never seen any like it), Blue shell Doric, Visconti Kaleido Voyager
I feel that I'm slowing down with pens. Now, inks on the other hand...

I bought a 1936 Pelikan 100. It'll go nicely with my 1950's Pelikan 100n.
TWSBI ECO and Kaigelu 316.
Pics? How did you date it to '36?
Circa 1936. Pics will be forthcoming. The seller is an expert on the 100's. He knows better than I do. 4 chicks, double cap bands, knurled mechanism, dark ink window.
Cristof? If so I saw that one, it's early with hard rubber, correct nib, new cork. Careful with that one and congrats!
Yeah it's from Christof. I know the pen you speak of, but this is a different one. He's replaced the barrel, and swapped the cork seal for the later rubber style. The cap and mechanism are not as oxidized as the one I think you and I are thinking of. I wanted a work horse and he found me one. Eventually I'll spend more and get a minty 100.
I'm waiting on a Hero 329.
Why?
I wanted a dedicated BSB pen (although since reverted to my previous opinion that it's not worth the hassle). I've had a 616 before and it was okay with a little work. So why order a 329?
It's £0.99 delivered!. Less than a pound, for an entire reusable pen to my front door.
Actually I wanted the "Star Trek" hooded ones, but they were £6 and, well.... it's a Hero, so it's not worth the extra for me.
