Ooo... good find, Plo! It looks like that's the cap! I just ordered some. Only thing is that shipping is $6.25 to start, and after that it goes up by weight. And the order minimum is $15.00.

those would be the new pens but I wouldn't order from there - $9.95 for 4 pens there verses $5 - $6 at Staples for 4.........just my 2 cents

This is just a question but why can I only find the pens in websites in the UK it's weird any have an answer or a link to a U.S. site (i mean no offense to anyone in the UK) that sells them cheap, like 5-6 dollars for 4. please don't hesitate to post it here.

Heheh... don't feel bad Plo--- I have been to 2 different staples stores that are near where I live but I've had no luck either!
I'd buy them from Staples if I didn't have to waste a tank of gas searching for a store that carries them!

Yeah I did... among other art supplies. I had to offset the shipping somehow so I bought some bargain stuff I needed. I'll let you know how they turn out. Dave just confirmed that these in fact are the ones in staples (I wasn't sure), so they should be the same, although the marker is a bit different in ink and line. Either that or they just changed the color and renamed it. I originally bought the yellow ones.

Actually, the outer shell of the pen is the same, they changed the ink system and I think they write a lot better.
The caps are dead on to the old yellow ones, same with the metal clip. As far as painting, they are about the same as the yellows to paint. I used them on the last run of food pellets that I did and had no problems.
I do know that I had to buy the pens from 2 locations to fill the quantity I needed for the run - if you go to the customer service desk and ask about them, they might be able to search other stores or order them in for you. I might have a package around here somewhere, if I do I will pull the skew off of it so that you have it

The Pilot Precise Grip pen is what I use with my Jedi costume. Don't limit yourself to one color. I carry 4 different colors of food capsules. That way I can remember which is breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. It also adds a bit of color to the costume. I found mine at Wally World.

All I know is that I need the pen caps, and if anyone can find the pens cheap and give me a link or a email to someone with them then I'm happy, but they need to be like $4-6 for 4, and I need 24 caps. so any help please. Also if you find on line store but it's in the UK I'm not good with foreign(to me) currency.
