150 count

I am really contemplating on getting the 150 count even though I don't NEED anymore pencils. It's such a good price!

I wish I'd gotten the 72 instead of the 48. I actually stopped at an art supply store this morning and spent $15 on additional individual colors. Mainly greens since this secret garden book has so much foliage.

i also got the set of 48.  I wish I had gotten a larger set of the soft core and that I didn't get the 24 set of Verithins.

I was always told "It is only a good deal if you can afford it"

Gaaaaaaaaaaah....

DH is gonna kill me if I spend $133 on colour pencils.

But it's a freaking good deal. It's the premier set too. FML.

If you haven't already, you MUST get the colorless blending pencil. It's $1.89 at Michaels. It will change your life. Well at least your coloring life.

Link to them on Amazon.

I am right there with you.  And the individual colors I got (grays) are kind of crappy, so I am bitter.

Very tempting!

I'm also trying to decide between Adult Coloring Book: Stress Relieving Patterns and Color Me Calm: 100 Coloring Templates for Meditation and Relaxation (A Zen Coloring Book). Suggestions?

No suggestions, but I have Adult Coloring Book: Stress Relieving Patters in my save for later section.  I want it.

I need to find a store in town that sells the individuals as I want more pinks and greens. My copy of Enchanted Forest just arrived from Mod Cloth. Secret Garden will be here soon, I ordered it on amazon months ago. I also have a flower one and an animal one.

Yes do they have the individual pencils??  I didn't think they would but i will go check!  Hobby Lobby does not.

Some of them do. Mine doesn't.

If you have any art stores near you (usually small and independent) there's a good chance they have individual colors.

I have a 150 (I think? Over 100) set I got for Christmas years ago, and there are a lot of colors I don't use. If I were paying for it now I would probably buy the 48 count so I had a decent range of colors and then buy individual pencils for the colors I know I'll use.

[tictac]

I'm so torn. I can justify springing for the 48 pack (I currently have the 24 pack, and I need aquas in my life, or my work will continue to be inferior, I just know it!)... but am I ever going to see the 72 pack go for half price again?!?!?!?!

Ugh, this is hard!

[cbwm1]

I just spent $70 on colored pencils and two new coloring books thanks to you jerks. lol

[pugz]

I went by Michaels and they had the individual pencils! I got 3 more pinks and 3 more greens so I think I'm set! Going to return the set I bought but hadn't opened to Hobby Lobby. It wasn't the premium kind of prismacolor pencils but had a lot brighter colors I wanted to get my hands on.

[agnes]

I bought a set of 132 today!

My H talked me in to it.

Yesterday
H: you should buy those pencils. You know you want to. 
Me: nooo, they're so expensive
H: okay suit yourself

Today
Me: I bought the pencils
H: hahahahahahahaha. Good.

You guys should try blending them, too. No need to buy a gazillion colors!

[agnes]

Wow! My pencils were delivered tonight while we were out to dinner. I didn't even pay for next day shipping. Sweet.

Mine just arrived .. I bought 48 and was pretty skeptical that it would be worth it (but I was drunk and it was on sale)

I've used quality crayons, pencils and markers and had issues with them all.

I just finished a page in Secret Garden and might love these!
