A Franklin-Christoph Model 02 (M) and a Noodler's Nib Creaper. The Nib Creaper will be given to a friend.
Just pulled the trigger on a Platinum 3776 Century with soft/fine nib and two Iroshizuku 15ml three bottle sets.
Which inks are you getting in the Iroshizuku sets?
From Engeika
Set "A" Tsuski-yo, Take-sumi and Kon-peki
Set "C" Fuyu-gaki, Ama-iro and Syo-ro
Nice choices. I haven't tried an ink in that line that I haven't enjoyed.
I'm anxiously awaiting the 2015 Edison Group buy Mina. Recent blog posts have alluded to this project wrapping up and shipping in the next few weeks 
Same here. I have four of the full sized bottles, so after my order arrives, I'll only have 14 more to try!

This wasn't a B&B Group Buy, was it?
I also have four of their 50ml bottles and samples of 4 others. Looks like you'll be two ahead of me once you try out your new ones. If I would have know about that site that you mentioned a couple of months ago, at those prices, I probably would have full bottles of half the collection by now.
My favorite ink line. Best PERFORMING ink I've ever tried. Makes pens write better. Waterman is somewhat like it, some Herbin inks are somewhat like it, but not quite. Iro is like liquid silk. I'd own the entire line if I could.
Two or three of their inks that I've tried I thought I wouldn't like beforehand. But they all ended up being winners in my book. J Herbin inks I really like for their wetness and shading qualities. I haven't tried Waterman inks, yet.

I intend too eventually, at least the 15 ml versions.

No sir, I believe it was solely run through Edison.
A few Platinum Preppy's (just to have on hand or to use as throw around/ giveaway pens). Plus, a bottle of Diamine ink, a handful of Pilot and Platinum converters, a couple different bottles of J Herbin inks, and another bottle of Noodler's ink.
Can't go there -- buyer/seller link?
