This is the same Boker .45 Cal Ti pen that's for sale on Amazon right now for $41.13, free shipping, arrives in about a week; your choice grey or black--isn't it? I looked at the respective descriptions but danged if I see where the extra $35 is going.
Now the flame finish saves some $: Amazon had it for $103; its +$23 here, so you'd save four bucks. On a hundred dollar pen. And I didn't check when it would ship, but probably for that smoking deal on the flames pen one would trade about a month+ of time spent waiting.
Am I missing something? I mean that honestly. My math ain't great and it's 13:20 local, which means I've got a straight buzz, so it's totally possible the Massdrop version has a cool feature I missed. If not though...why would anyone buy the standard model? Its not even close.

HatuletohAnd if youre lucky like me to live an easy ride from not one but two top-notch blade retailers, I could have the thing in my hand in 25 min...well, I probably shouldnt be piloting any motor vehicles just right now, but if I'd needed to I could have planned ahead and skipped the Super Tuesday Afternoon Social Hour(s) and intead bought me a Boker pen for $42, a very similar price to Amazon's, from the one local shop that isn't sold out (the sold-out shop, however, could hook me up with a Boker .50 Cal KID for just over $50).
Again, help me out here--I thought the point of Massdrop was better prices and/or products though the power of the collective?I'd rather they just not offer a product if its going to be higher than the going retail price. The actual retail price, I mean. Not the silly "MSRP". Anybody can make up numbers.
I'd love to be wrong here; somebody point out how wrong I am, please, and how I missed the important detail.

HatuletohThose will be the aluminium ones. Lowest Amazon price I can see for the ti is $78.72

MassdropbearAh, thats an improvement for and thanks for clearing that up--I knew I was missing something. Those prices didnt make any damn sense.
However, you say you see one on the Big A for $78.72? That would make the savings on the drop of a buck anr change--far better than costing more but still pretty insignificant when weighed against the relative delivery times. The Ti thing certainly improves the comparison, but not enough for me (and I imagine others feel the same way) to want to get in on the drop. For what amounts to a dollar for express delivery one could order from Amazon and have the pen in days rather than weeks or months.
