How would one purchase specificcoloured pencils. A few colours are used so much that they are getting rather short. Where can I get replacements?

I would start with a quick Amazon search. However, if that doesn't bring anything up, try Dick Blick (dickblick.com). I know they have them. :)

I just did a little Googling; here's the refills:http://www.officemax.com/office-supplies/pens-pencils-markers/pens/pen-refills/product-ARS25573

These pencils come in a tin. I think when they say 'wooden case' pencils on the main page - they actually mean that the the 'lead' of the coloured pencils themselves are encased in wood - just like your ordinary pencils - not that the pencils themselves come in a wooden box.

Amazon.com is a trusted place to make purchases and as for buying prismacolor pencils, they are a great artist quality pencil and I found them to be priced well here at Amazon. I love them and would not consider using any other brand.

I, personally, find the Prismacolor pencils of very good quality. I believe that those who find them cheap do not realize that hese pencils are artist's pencils. The leads are made of materials as pure as possible, and therefore, do not include materials to strengthen the lead, including strengthening matrial would sully the color. These pencils therefore are not made to be jostled, or dropped. I have been using my Prismacolor pencils for more than a year and I handle them with care. They are not "coloring pencils" they are artistic tools. If you treat them as ordinary pencils you will find the lead is often broken even before sharpening them.

I don't use colored pencils myself - I work in watercolors. These are for my kids as they have gotten older and enjoy colored pencils (they are all pretty artistic). I start them off young with Crayola and then go to Prismacolor. I have bought the Premier for them but they have been gifts at Christmas and I let them know these are not like Crayola and they have to take care of them. I found two links for you. Hope this helps! One is from a Blog: Just a Place for Cool Stuff http://pumibel.blogspot.com/2011/11/prismacolor-scholar-line-colored.html This is the other one. I found this on a Yahoo Canada Answers link: "The Premier is the artist quality and the Scholar is the student brand. The artist quality Premier is higher quality - they have more pigment and the pencils mix better as well. Source(s): Professional artist for a long time. Colored pencil artist for 23 years and counting..."

Those look to be the correct refills. Are you sure you are looking in the right place for the eraser? If you take off the cap and put it on the back for the pencil, then the small silver cap that you use to advance the lead can be removed to reveal the eraser.I hope this helps.

I'm looking for them too. I went to the crayola website and didn't see them there. This is a fun toy so I hope they have the markers available somewhere. 2 of our markers dried up after 3 uses (the blue and green one). I wonder if neon crayons would work?

I would suggest contacting the Westcott company, they may exchange it for a new one, that's what most companies do. I honestly only use mine at home, so we do not sharpen many pencils. Sorry, hopefully this helps!

Good question! I asked the same of the designer and strangely she replied,"they are only available in the set". Makes no sense to me. Could use a solid in one of the colors as a spare.

if you go to the prismacolor website you can get full detail on all the colors in each set - http://www.prismacolor.com/products/colored-pencils/softcore-lead

I did some research for you on their website. It seems that the Soft Core Pencils come at a maximum of 150ct set. Now, is this the entire line? I want to guess yes for this reason alone. I do know that my local art stores sell single pencils and that I can always find a replacement. Check out: http://www.prismacolor.com/products/colored-pencils/softcore-lead

Might try an art supplies store or something like Michaels? Otherwise figure out how to direct the question to the manufacturer/supplier.

I bought the suggested sharpener - the leads still broke.... Maybe I was just unlucky but it happened with both sets of Prismacolor pencils I purchased.

Instead, take a look at the Pen Pal holders (can get in 50 or 75 PC bags). Or the Victor ClipEn Pencil Holder. Or the FixFind Pencil & Paper Holders. All available at Amazon.com, but I have not used any of them.

Hi, John .. Yes these are a bit difficult to get solid color.. the lead is medium hard. I know that doesn't really help much, I enjoy using them . but I am only using them for fun .. nothing serious. I have used a lot of colored pencils and these are the second best I have tried. The other brand I LOVE is Staedtler .. but I have only found them in 24 colors. I found them in a Michaels on clearance .........never had seen Staedtler pencils before.. always markers.. they are just a tiny bit softer and the colors are so true . Hopes this helps.. !!!
