New Coloring Implements!
John, I hope you see this. I found these at my local department store. There are 120 instead of 115, and the price is $6.99 (see receipt in bottom right corner), the new color Bluetiful is in it, and it also comes with a sharpener. Amazon price is a ripoff!!!!!

FOWC The Walls of Gaudi
