Price: 1,050 yen is for 10 units? if not, Mitsubishi will report huge loss after few months.

Why oil based? Couldn't they find something more eco?

I could never pay $10 for a pen... They look cool though I guess.

@some14some: You mean Mitsubishi Pencil, not Mitsubishi. Different companies.

And their pens (etc) are popular amongst designers, despite the price.

why is 2 colour a big deal? most J-bird have those chunky 4 colour specials already.

10 bucks for a pen...i think not

I hope this is a pen set and not 10 bucks for 1 pen.

1,050 yen for a 2-color pen? Heck, I can get a 2-color pen with a mechanical pencil for 105 yen.

I already love my 4 colour pen, no probs with it and only cost 280 yen. Great for English teachers (or anyone who uses a pen a lot, really). So, no thanks.
