Looking to source some 0.6mm lead. I have a few 0.6mm Tombows I’d like to use more frequently but I don’t have a lead supply.

Did we swap a 0.6 last year (for the pinstriped Pentel SG)?

Nope. I think I brought you a SG75 when we went eat Ethiopian food but 0.6 wasn’t at the table.

Did you get yours off Etsy?

I had bought several 0.6 Tombows off of Etsy and Carousell a few years ago.

You have been nothing short but good to me. Thank you!
Least I can do after you Hattori Hanzo’d out of retirement to make an extra Drillium pencil for me 
(which is wonderful BTW, thank you!)

My pleasure. 
Dang, this is probably worth some $$!
Do we know what years this was sold?

I believe late 90s if I recall correctly.

I remember a couple of months ago, maybe more, a Turkish Ebay seller named “Pennapen” who had an entire box of Tombow’s 0.6 for sale on his page, and each MP came with its own lead container, all 2B lead cores; the lot was going for what I considered an unreachable price (and I had no interest in getting more than one specimen), so I swiftly contacted the guy via Ebay, and proposed to buy just one MP with its own lead container. It was not exactly cheap, yet still much cheaper than the whole box — but I have to admit that the addition of the VAT at the very end of the purchase was quite an annoying and unexpected hit.
The shipping was slow, almost painfully slow, but the parcel made it to my house, and without custom fees to pay on delivery, for once. 
So, maybe those of you interested in 0.6 exotica can contact the seller and ask whether he still has some more 0.6 lead containers in stock; the guy seems genuinely nice, it kept me updated almost constantly about the shipping, and at one point was even terrified that the parcel had gone missing, but fortunately it was just an issue with the translation from the Italian postal service update webpage.
PS: The 0.6 pencil feels very nice, and I felt it came to me right after we all discussed weird lead core sizes on this Forum.

I was finally able to find one, but it only came with one lead 
I did contact the seller and he didn’t have any extra to spare.

I don’t want to count chickens before they’ve hatched, but I am supposed to be getting a few containers of 2B 0.6 mm lead in the next couple weeks. If all goes well, I will have a couple of spares. Watch this space!
