Hello to all the Mathmos fans, I wanted to share what I received today. 2 Mathmos Fluidium never opened since their launch in 2000.
I was shivering while opening the parcel, bubble wrap and then ..... The different pieces of the Fluidium
You can imagine that feeling right ?
It's not like opening a collector one alreaday used before, It was never opened, never used before me ... 19 years after they come alive.
Yesterday was the OPAL one today is the green one
The wax is still cold but I am waiting, I did not know the bulb was blue either.
After so many years of watching the Fluidiums on the net and now open a brand new one is just a strange feeling going through my body, My heart is beating louder and my hands are still shivering.
Maybe I am crazy to feel that feeling don't you think ?
I wanted to share that unboxing with you :)
Hope you will love it as much as I do.
Thank you
Enjoy
Sam from France
OPAL and GREEN are still cloudy, any advices ?

I took off the blue bulb of the Opal and put a white Bulb ( but i won't open the Opal)
I open rhe Green and change the liquid with a mix of sea salt and distilled water with one drop of clear liquid wash and I did the same with the Orange one...
Now let's wait and see in a couole of hours
Thanks for any remarks or help you can give me
Wish you a nice sunday
Yes Claude, look everywhere not only on Ebay, on the other foreign ADS site
Where do you come from ?

someone has @a dozen of fluidium globes for sale on ebay
ok ! I love the States but I wish you good luck ! only because of the shipping :(
Even in the plane I couldn't keep the botltle with me
check on the states every states you may find some European who moved to the usa
I am sorry for you and I could have done something I will
Try to call Mathmos in the uk for Brand new items
keep me updated

How are they running now that you have redone the liquid? I am lucky that only one of my Mathmos lamps is cloudy. It's one of my Jets and it actually didn't bother me at first because it kinda just gave off a glow.... But now that I have several grouped together, it sticks out and looks awful. I'm thinking about replacing the liquid but Mathmos fluid will be pricey. Not sure which route to take... Or just leave it alone. Maybe goo kit? I just hate using dimmers.

I buy mathmos via a third party shipper with UK address
it's a bit pricy but not as bad as eBay international
Faster too
I have one FLuidium but eventually, plan on completing the collection
I have a full complement of Jetx, some Astros, Telstar, etc
YES!, I know the flag is upside down
everything is long since packed away to move.
Very nice collection ...... I wish I could have the Black Black and white white Jet :)
Thank you.
I miss them,
Currently, they are all packed away.
I love that Opal Fluidium and the orange
Eventually,... I'll compete the collection
Why they all packed away ? Are you moving ?
Watch that :

Yes! we are getting prepped to move.
I'm just waiting on my development financing commissions to arrive.
Been a slow and arduous wait as the fund manager has had delay after delay
Flock! Always thought I'd add one to the collection someday
IMI also trying to collect the oddball Mathmos novelty lamps
I'm acquired many but I still need:
Saw those. Bought a lot of mine from them. They are a member here
