Unboxing Limited Edition Faber Castell Polychromos Pencils!

[@dashiel666draven]

Brilliant review as always!👏😊 It's fantastic you got this limited edition shortly after you hit the 20k mark (congrats again 😁), it fits so perfectly well. And wow... This little 12 tin is sooooo adorable 😂... The collector in me screams "BUY THIS!", but my common sense says, that I should hold on and get something I really need 😂... Like... A new sketchbook now and then 😂😂😂

[@xxlobomxx]

Thank you Claire! I could not resist and I´ve just ordered the 36 set. Something to keep for my grandchildren :)

[@Holambrart]

Nice! I just bought my first polychrome pencils, and you can believe, they are first originals ones. Tin with 12 used pencils, I'm so excited.

[@MimiLo1517]

Ordered both sets last night after viewing your video. I won’t be using them. But will enjoy having them in my pencil collection - if only to look at them and appreciate a little history 😍 Thank you so much Claire XX

[@ColourwithClaire]

Same xx

[@suewilkinson910]

I love the vintage tin. I’ve seen an actual original tin and pencils on YT somewhere. Can’t remember where now. They had belonged to someone’s Grandfather I think. Lovely to have as a collectors item.

[@deborahnorthover5304]

They look delightful, I hope you have put them to good use and won the competition

[@tammygeorge1638]

Did you order the small tin with the bigger tin, or was it a gift?

[@debbiethedoodler1074]

Wow, these are a precious collection.

[@wendibenson]

I couldn't resist either....I am jumping up and down with excitement. Now for the wait...lol. :)

[@deannaaddyman9719]

I absolutely love your videos!! I have watched them all!!! And have purchased many of the items I have reviewed!!

[@nancyfenity9817]

Thanks so very much for the heads up, Claire.❤❤

[@silkspinner7010]

I gave into temptation and got a short set of twelve. I can't see myself ever using them but as you said they are a bit of Pencils history.

[@sandrah9911]

Excellent review! Those are amazing! 😍

[@nildeniz4464]

What is the difference a.w set and normal polychromos

[@robertadejean3081]

I’m getting ready to order a set. Amazingly I was able to find a used vintage set on Ebay last year that is in great shape and the tin looks just like this!!

[@tammygeorge1638]

Wow! awesome! I'll be having to check them out! Thank you for sharing.

[@nickels4682]

Love hearing about the history...I collect antique tins so I am absolutely in love with these tins, and the travel tin with the unsharpened pencils is especially unique...Thank you for sharing these beautiful collector tins with us...Cathy

I just ordered a set from Cult Pens and is on the way to Hong Kong now, can’t wait!

[@danettetrostle7173]

OMG! Pretty sure I’m in LOVE 😎

[@ColourwithClaire]

SAME!

[@catrinskagerfalt6015]

Saw them too, had been fun to have them, just for collecting items :) love these pens

[@meloniebolton3918]

Hello Ms. Claire I probably go on Faber Castell website purchase this pencils. I have some news for you and the other Colorist that watches your channel Hanna Karlson have a new book call NEW! Själsfränder Coloring book by Hanna Karlzon - Spirit Animals it is only sold on Esty right now but in the United States release date is in August 2019. I have all of her books I just love her books they are just beautiful, you probably already know, but just giving everyone a heads up just in case someone want to purchase the book instead of waiting until August if you live in the States. I am purchasing my copy now. Congratulations on reaching 20,000 subscribers we love your channel.

[@coloringwithd]

Oh neat!! Thank you for sharing 😁

[@connieedwards6580]

Wow, think I'm drooling...lol Enjoy!!!!

[@diylifewithashleymcdole5727]

These are so AWESOME 🖤

[@louisedavies1867]

Thanks for that Claire! How exciting! I’ve ordered the short set. I want to keep it as a collectors item. I wonder if many people will actually colour with them?

[@ColourwithClaire]

Not me!

[@DD-d6d3]

Nice set. I've been resisting these. I have enough pencils

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

So are the colors in these sets (specifically the 36 set) different than what is in the current 120 set?

[@ColourwithClaire]

No there’s no new colours, it’s purely a collectors edition xx

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

Colour with Claire Ok, I got it. Thank you for responding so quickly to my question. I really do love the vintage tin these are in. 🙂

[@mooglemog_uWu]

I had to buy these! Claire, do you know about Hannah Karlzons new book Spirit Animals? I know it's not out until August but I just ordered the Swedish version Själsfränder which is out now from Etsy 70eastbooks. Do you have it yet? Also congrats on 20K subs! You deserve it x

[@ColourwithClaire]

Can’t wait for Hanna’s new book, I haven’t got it though but fingers crossed I can get it

[@mooglemog_uWu]

[@mooglemog_uWu]

@@ColourwithClaire It's pretty expensive though is the downside...

[@JMHaleSeattle]

TY!

[@MYOB00]

Polychromos are amazing! I bought a whole load before I discovered the albrecht durers (prefer watercolour), so I gave all my polys to my mum who loves them too. How do they compare to say, prismacolour? People seem to love prismacolour but I've never tried them. Am tempted by the little collector's tin now though... :D

[@ColourwithClaire]

They’re a whole different beast, I compared them on my blog in a post called Polychromos vs Prismacolor

[@UTleochi]

Haha, couldn't resist, either! I just had to treat myself to the 36 pencil set. 😍😍😍 Love the retro design. That small set is simply adorable. They didn't sell them at Gerstäcker (Version of Greatart, where I live), so I got the normal 12 pencil tin instead. Will you be using these pencils? I probably won't because I'm such a bloody collector. 😅 I couldn't bear sharpenging I pencil I know I couldn't replace. (And I've got enough regular sets to work with.)

[@ColourwithClaire]

No they’re staying intact!

[@UTleochi]

*grins* Ah, I'm glad I'm not alone!

[@UTleochi]

@@FA-11 Ooooh! Thank you so much for the info! 😍😍😍 Yes, you're right! I didn't realise they were offering the mini set separately.

[@mooglemog_uWu]

@@ColourwithClaire Are you going to swatch the 36 set?

[@MultiDebsta]

If i had these i don't think i would use them. I would just want to keep them to look at. They are gorgeous and the tin is beautiful.

[@MultiDebsta]

I have just checked out the Cult Pens site....OMG i am in Heaven. My first love is Calligraphy, was self taught since i was 14, thats 43 years ago. I have never seen so many different pens, i didn't know where to start!!!! This will be my go to site now, thanks for the lead.

[@ColourwithClaire]

It’s such a fantastic site! I’m not using the pencils either lol xx

[@shellyt2906]

Where can these be purchased???

[@DD-d6d3]

She said Cult Pens in the video

[@shellyt2906]

Yes I found the link after I had already sent the question...thanks

[@Turbogittan]

Thank you 😍 Is it other colours in the 36-set ? i have 120 polychromos.

[@ColourwithClaire]

No new colours, just named and numbered differently

[@rebeccamallia-blanco9848]

Awesome review

[@datoneburrito3036]

I asked my mom for a set of polychromos and she got these and I’m like mom I love you thank you but I don’t wanna waste themmmm

[@mr.noob6678]

I got them too!!

[@mr.noob6678]

This are cool!!

[@Colourandchatwithsammie]

Finger kind of slipped on the short pencils for the collector purposes ❤️❤️

[@ColourwithClaire]

Of course!

[@applestree100]

wow

[@cassieepouncy4375]

SO PRETTY ARE THICKER LEADS BETTER? LIKE IN THE FABER CASTELL,ARTEZA,PRISMAS? DO THEY LAST LONGER EVEN WITH SHARPENING?

[@ColourwithClaire]

Yes xx

[@cassieepouncy4375]

THANKS

I don't know how to convert the currency 😣

[@taiee66]

Mine with us shipping was 98.00

[@teresamoore3577]

Google it that’s what I do x

[@nancyakf]

@@taiee66 Hi! I'm in the USA also :) Is the largest pencil tin 36 pencils? Or do they come in the full set? Thank you :)

[@taiee66]

36 is the largest. Not the full 120 .

[@CuriosityRocks]

I just wouldn’t want to actually use these, just keep them for posterity

[@maggiedake]
