I need more colours! I have a set of 24 Faber Castell's and I've been colouring away on and off all day today and there simply isn't enough different colours. Not sure what to do really............

Missed out on a set of 72 of the same make that were being sold for the same I paid for my 24!

Worried about buying the full set of Primacolors and then getting collared by customs.

What a dilemma!

I kept watch on the uk one for a month or so & spotted 120 about to go for £29, put a bid in and got them for 59 inc postage.

[Nellyphant]

Did you have any problem with customs? I don't want to pay extra on top; but I guess that's always a possible problem.

[playingwpaper]

Mine were from the uk site. If you keep a watch and arent in a desperate rush they do end at good prices sometimes.

I have just had a look on the UK auction site and there is a UK seller with 120 for £65 or best offer including postage or there is a seller on the US site that sells individual colours if you are just wanting to add on.

I got a set of 132 for £63 all in and he marked it at $20 so never got collared. First time for a long time. Ask the sellers before you bid some will help some won't.

Can I ask what's so special about prisma pencils? I've just got regular ones so how do they differ? i.e what is it about them that justifies the price?

[renniwano]

Prismacolor Premiers are a professional grade pencil.. so unlike some other pencils they have a higher pigment content and a lower wax content.. making them great for blending.

I use mine for both normal colouring and blending.. and they lay on the card/paper really nice..

Yes... they are more pricely than some.. but I do believe with these you get what you pay for..
