  1. Once we had a song in Czech and we were the last ones... It was a band which is really popular here and even though I'm not a fan of them, this song was quite good. So I'm not surprised that all the songs are in English. I'm not even surprised that this one was chosen in the national selection, I think people just didn't want another ballad sung by a woman like lately. But I'm not sure if this song has better chances.
  2. So now it's official, this is the czech song... Not really happy about the choice, I don't like it. If someone is interested, this were the other options: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKplbIyrc-0&t=96s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8UDxJ5fp5A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2C9dTi7rso&t=71s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h7zDpE1nqk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9j3rwwjhlQ8&t=82s I don't think it's the worst song but my favorite was Debbi (the second one). However, none of them has really impressed me.
  3. I've already seen that people shared the boxes on Twitter/Instagram a few days ago: I also saw some youtubers from the Netherlands and Belgium posting on Instagram pics with these pens, it seems Pilot Pen Benelux tries to promote the pens via influencer marketing (for those who were asking about more promotion in their country, this way is really common nowadays)...
  4. I have to say I really liked the french song which competed last year (Alma - Requiem), it was my favorite but unfortunately it didn't do so well in the competition...
  5. A few days ago he posted the cake, now the bread, his instastories make me hungry...
  6. A bit impractical for everyday life if you ask me, I mean – you can barely see the road.
  7. Just a while ago I was listening to the song which will probably represent our country (it's not chosen yet, there are 6 songs in the national round, this one was chosen by the jury but there was also a public online voting and the results haven't been published yet) and I don't know what to think about it, it's not really my cup of tea... However, at least it's quite catchy and not so boring. Anyway, I'm not a big fan of Eurovision to be honest.
  8. After two weeks I finally got my answer from Pilot Pen CZ about these V5 pens (I already thought they began to ignore me because before that their answers on FB took just one day... ) and they wrote that this type (V5) isn't that popular here so they don't support it but they've already ordered the limited edition and now they are awaiting delivery! I wonder if the limited edition is selling so good that they decided to order these pens even though it wasn't planned to sell them here according to the anniversary website? I'm sure they've already read my message two weeks ago but they've answered only now... And they also asked me at the end, what colour or motive I like the most, why they want to know? Such a hard question!
  9. Figure 8 - Ellie Goulding ...so addictive! (btw I think we need a new thread or maybe just to rename this one)
  10. I really love this artwork and I'd love to have it painted on a wall but not on my body to be honest, not really a fan of sleeves and colour tattoos... However, it's an amazing piece of art!
  11. It's a bit lazy to check just the year and not the month and exact day he was born...
  12. If the pens aren't available in Spain yet, there's so far no reason for posting such an ad, I found this ad just on two websites where they sell the pens (and you can get to the pens by clicking the ad), nowhere else, so it still isn't a massive promotion imo...
  13. Tbh I don't expect to see an ad on TV here but Pilot is still silent about the limited edition even on their social medias (I started to follow them on FB and IG ) and there's nothing on their website either. I just saw these banners in some shops where the pens are already available but nothing else. However, they promised there'll be some competitions so I suppose the promotion will start later here...
  14. I really like her new style, I bought her album last year even though I've never listen to her albums before and I think it's great, her voice sounds so "smooth" and I enjoy the songs a lot, my favourite one is Slow Dance.
  15. They wrote me the same about the multipacks and gift packs on FB, I already posted it here...
  16. There's also a banner on the main page and a special section here: https://www.sevt.cz/obchod/skolni-potreby/psaci-potreby/pera-frixion/frixion-a-g2-mika-edice-2018/ I already saw some of the banners in shops. It's quite strange to see Mika somewhere (even on "stupid banners") in my country, I'm not used to it.
  17. I found out that even though the pens are available all over Europe, not all types are available everywhere – on the official anniversary website in English or also for example in Spanish if you click on the section "creation process" they write about 24 limited edition Pilot pens (as we know) but for example the Czech or the German localization mentions just 18 pens (G-2, FriXion Ball and FriXion Ball Clicker)... So that's why I couldn't get the last type here.
  18. I haven't ordered from that Dutch website but I asked them about the shipping on FB and they told me it would be € 18,50. I don't speak Dutch but could it be possible that those extra money in the original order was VAT (tax)? Because I noticed that many of these websites show prices without VAT. And those prices for the boxes seem to be quite cheap.
  19. I asked my best friend (she is not a fan) if she could borrow me her customer card to a bookstore and stationery since I discovered they'll have 20 % off this weekend for customers having the card and they sell at least some of the Mika pens. She agreed so I sent her pictures of the pens I want. She found them beautiful and then she wrote we have to go to the shop together because now she wants them too... :lmfao:

      Unfortunately I can't find the V5 pens anywhere... I'm afraid they sell just the other three types in my country. I've already asked Pilot Pen CZ on FB but I think they started to ignore me since it's the third question I asked them about the pens (but I was always really polite)... :lmfao:

      I can get some V5 pens, but I can't get any of the G2 pens :sad:

      @silver That's interesting, it seems they don't sell all types everywhere. Today I checked several shops in my country which offer the Mika pens and they all have just both FriXion pens and G2 pens but no V5.

  20. One of the reasons I still buy physical copies of albums... ❤️

  21. Don't even try to tempt me with the keys of the Taj Mahal came to my mind...
  22. No, it's fine! I'm just upset that everything is so expensive here, that's not because of you...
  23. For only one, one of the cheapest I think. It was actually 56 CZK, 1 € is about 26 CZK...
  24. I don't know how much one of these pens costs in other countries when they are sold separately but I paid for mine 2 € (and others were even more expensive) so it seems to me actually really cheap...
  25. That's great and they are not even that expensive as I thought they would be, I hope they appear somewhere else too (not sure if this site even offers international shipping)...
