Mathmos US Fluidium UPDATE

[Phishy Lava]

On a whim, I sent a message to Mathmos US asking about the Fluidium Lamp and it's COMING SOON status on the website for AT LEAST a year now!

This is the response I got : 

I had a talk with the staff yesterday about the volume of customers asking about 
The US Fluidium lamps.
I was SURE to ask that they be put on the order.
They should be in within the month.
If not sooner.
All the best.

We shall see.......won't we?    :)

Good for you, Phishy!!!!   Boy howdy, I sure hope they are tellin it like "hit" is...... :-) 

[Phishy Lava]

I just hope & pray they aren't $130!!!

[Marley's Ghost]

OUCH, from your mouth to God's ear for sure, Phishy!!!!  

[Chantal]

Thanks for sharing Phishy.. I also hope a plain yellow isn't going to run $130. There was one listed on Ebay last week by a US seller and people were going nuts over it. A little too nuts...

[Marley's Ghost]

I saw that too, Chantal, it did go for more than I was hoping, although I am sure the seller was pleased.  :-)

Sadly I expect them to cost the same as the UK site plus 25GBP. That seems to be what they are doing with the telstars. You are basically paying their import costs.

[Marley's Ghost]

Autumn, I sure hope they don't cost that much, but am sure you are right about that.  They are already wired for US current, which I liked, and the overall quality of the entire lamp (Telstar) is fantastic with colors and flow like nothing I have ever seen.

Fluidiums are discontinued...... U can only order the back stock of yellow from the uk site.

Isn't the Lunar the Holy Grail of lamps?  It must be, I had one spotted as I am sure you all have, and it is already priced way beyond what I could touch, but I was nearly drooling over it.   I do hope that Mathmost will release all the colors of the Fluidium, and also new colors----at reasonable prices.

He was agreeable to a Buy It Now option but he wanted far more than is feasible for me right now. I tried though!

Good for you, Chantal.......at least you gave it your best shot!   I wish he had of taken you up on it!   It needs a good home where it will be appreciated.

The Lunar looks to be a killer lamp and I would love to own one someday, but I wouldn't classify it as the Holy Grail.  Its simply far too common to get that label.  As long as you have a wad of cash burning a hole in your pocket, you can usually find one to buy on eBay UK.

BTW - the guy selling on US eBay is a former member of the site and he has like 12 or so Lunars.  He also has dropped $1600 on a wave machine and about the same on a Fantasia Cosmos.
