Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Anyone interested in trying a professional quality product would do well with specialist oil pastels.

Price

Best price found both locally and online.

Very nice for the price, i likem and ill be buying more when i run out.

Shipping

Delivery was timely, only online dealer who didn't overcharge for shipping.

Packaging/appearance

That said, i don’t feel that this set stands on its own the because of the more transparent pigments.

Competitiveness

Sakura seems to really understand how to price-point their products.

Update: may-2016:having used other pro brands since my first posting i like these the best.

They also do not develop a haze like carandache', a more expensive brand.

They are mostly not opaque as well as than the expressionnist one of the same brand.
