For those of you who enjoy using MB inks. I've just spoken to a supplier in the UK about this. They don't know about the Seasons Greeting for 2009 they are going to call Montblanc and let me know so I will post this up as soon as I know something.

Regarding the other inks, she told me that Sepia and Racing Green are definately being discontinued, but that the other - including Violet - would continue as it is in their 2010 order book and available to order.

I'm not quite sure how this fits in with their so called new range as they didn't know much about that. I have to say Montblanc don't seem to be very good at keeping their suppliers informed. Do they not realise that anticipation builds a healthy order book?

Thanks for the heads up. Just got 3 bottles of the racing & 1 of the sepia

Holly,

There's suppossedly a MB Purple, but there's conjecture that's it's the current Violet.
There's a Toffee brown. I wonder if that's Sepia re-packaged as well?
And Mystery Black?

Midnight blue, Light blue and Oyster grey have to be new.

The "Toffee Brown" sounds interesting.

I am still romping and stomping about MB's discontinuing their "Turquoise." It is the best turquoise I ever found. I wonder if the "Light Blue" might be a resurrection of that color? - Hope, hope!

This year the holiday ink is the same as last year, and it has the same name "white forest" and has fresh pine scent. It is supposed to be released come November.

Now the other new ink colors (Oyster grey, Toffee brown, Mystery black, Light sky blue, Midnight Blue, Royal purle and Ruby red...still no "samples" of the colors yet either) are listed, but still not released and we haven't seen any definitive (or estimated) date for release yet.

They are however going to be a bit more expensive, but they are incresing the bottle size from 1.6oz (50ml) to 2.0oz (60ml)

Mike, can you give us a definitive answer on the fate of MB Racing Green and Violet??

Thanks,

I agree with you about Turquoise - the best turquoise I've seen.
Light sky blue sure sounds different, but it might be nice. I'm most intrigued by the light sky blue and oyster grey.
