Not me, no way. First time I laid eyes on this.

I am pretty certain I’ve seen the 0.4 LG before. I don’t use 0.4 mm, so I ignored it. So, I’m feeling like it was a production model, just didn’t sell very well.

I’ve never seen a 0.4. I believe I would have noticed the green accent immediately and zoned in on it. Hmm

And of course it sold for peanuts on Mercari

I think there’s something weird going on with most 0.4 tombows from that era. It’s the first time I see that LG 0.4, and the monotech 1000 0.4 is also absurdly rare and expensive compared to the other sizes. I don’t know if a monotech 500 0.4 exists as well.

1988 Tombow catalog, 0.4 written on the display case but not on the product listing.

OH MAH GAHD 
My life will not be complete until I snag one of these.
It’s got the grooved tip, too (which is the earliest/nicest version of the LG tips).

The LG is another that is never mention (seemingly)…
But a 0.4???
It’s BEAUTIFUL…
I dislike the yellow on the 0.3’s so much…. GREEN is just…
