Thank your so much for reviewing these budget pencils. I have just bought these as the brand deli to check if they are the same and have loads more including square brutfuner on my list... You are an enabler and I love it 😂❤️
THANK YOU so much for this advice. I bought some a while back because of your review and your advice was spot on. So just for fun , a few minutes ago, I went to the link you provided on this video for these pencils and they were on a lightning deal for 20$ I picked up 2 more sets. So, once again your advice was solid. I know this is an old video but it still holds true.👍🏻❤️
I bought a set of these. I have to agree that they DO handle and feel like my beloved Polychromos. I was surprised by the lead thickness. Most budget, Chinese pencils are very thin in comparison. These are robust and apply quite rich in pigment. I'm sure they are not anywhere near being lightfast, and I can attest to the fact that they do smear upon contact with water (even hand sweat). So I would NOT recommend these for any professional work that needs to be sold, hung or displayed for a long time. But I still love how these pencils feel and they are perfect for use in my sketchbook. You can get loads of practice by experimenting with these, while not feeling guilty that you are wasting your professional supplies. Please note that the deli-star joy do not seem to be the same as the ones marketed as just "star joy" that come in the 120 set for the same price. Those have thinner cores when compared side by side, and are not as pigmented. The deli ones come in the tin with the hut as shown in this video. I am VERY pleased with this purchase. Now I need to stop watching Lori's vids for a day or two, or I'll go broke. LOL!
No they aren't the same. Older sets were sold by Star Joy under the Star Joy brand but were the Deli product. When Star Joy stopped selling them they came out with a thinner version of the product under Star Joy. They were not the same quality. Third version of Star Joy was the one I helped them with. I know the quality of the core and the pigment in comparison to the older version and they were much better. So the best ones were marked as Star Joy Gold. I haven't spoken to Andy since a little after my Husband died. Not because we went our way in a bad way. I have just been working on new projects and my job was done helping Andy. Andy being the owner of Star-joy. I don't know what they are selling now because I haven't checked.
Love these! They've been on Amazon for a few years. I bought a set after C.L Aldridge recommended them to me a couple years ago. Like most pencils, I wish they didn't have the metallic type--too hard to read. I used my label makers and just numbered them 1-72. I've left mine in the tin so far, but they'll end up in a case after I get a new one for my Black Widows.
Thanks for the video! I got those square Brutfuner pencils that you made a video about before for Xmas and I love them. I have Prismacolor so those will be my primary set, but I wanted an oil pencil set for more detailed parts.
Your killing me, Lori...thank goodness for Christmas money...lol... Ordered...! These pencils look amazing. Thank you for all your hard work...Happy New Year to you & Ming...!
Lovely! I've finally gotten down to having only 3 sets of oil, 4 sets of wax, and the inktense pencils...?BUT I did check to see if these were available. I'm trying desperately not to buy more brands of pencils although I will keep these on my wish list. I've passed along sets to others, as I have tested those recommended by yourself and a couple others... I like to share the love of coloring with others too! Once someone else decides that they want to take their coloring further, I encourage them to pass along the sets they don't use anymore too.
Says currently unavailable and not sure when they will be available again. Thanks again for bringing these to our attention!! I'm so excited for them to come!
After buying dozens of pencil sets from Dollar Tree to Polychromos I found these & they are my absolute go to!! The fact that they are so reasonably priced sealed the deal for me. Now the secret is out about them Im sure the price will start going up!! And even with that, they will still be worth it!! Quality + awesome price= a happy customer!!💜💛💚💙💖
Will you be posting when the Deli pencils are available again? I can't find where they are available for pre-order, just the StarJoy ones are, and I don't want to order them! As I mentioned before, I ordered the 72 piece set of Star Joy/Deli pencils when you put that up last week and they should be in on the 5th. I'm hoping they will be the good ones. I also ordered the 120 set of Brutfuner pencils and got them yesterday! I finished swatching them today and they are GORGEOUS! They have one problem that isn't too huge, they have a fair amount of crumbs of pigment that I brush away with a soft brush. Other than that, they are buttery, soft and I can't wait to color with them!!! Thank you so much for your recommendations!
I have these pencils and they are amazing! They remind me so much of the polychromos! Love them. I did a video on them, comparing them to polychromos if you want to check it out. Thanks for sharing!
I recieved these yesterday. Thank you so much for your recommendation, I am really loving them! I also got the Nyoni based on your reviews, so good too!
I can't wait until these arrive! Thanks again for all of your hard work and expertise in finding the best pencils for us. It's really appreciated. Anyway, I am wondering if you will be comparing the color selection to Polychromos colors. I have long wanted the 60 set but it is too expensive. I have about 20 open stock Polys and I'm wondering if this set contains a lot of matching colors to the Polys.
I'm sold omg, I've been looking for some affordable pencils here in Europe that could be compared to prismacolor or similar quality, and that these look this amazing compared to the polychromos is making me the shookest ever. I need to get my hands on these 😳
I have a similar set from Deli called Summer Palace. The difference I guess is the tin. It has a Chinese porcelain images on the cover but the pencils are the same. I agree with you on these pencils and to their quality. I believe Deli is China’s largest producer of stationery items and art supplies. Basically China’s version of Crayola. It’s good to know that I’m not the only “pencil head” out here. Lol. I have around 60 sets of pencils and a few on the way from AliExpress.
Thank you. Did an image search on Ali for these star joy anazon ones and the deli ones came up but was not sure if the same ones although look identical. Got 72 for £19 to UK. Thanks x
I was wondering the same. And deli is no longer part of the name. I know they use different names for the same pencils so crossing my fingers when I get the 120 set.
Orchidlady50 Do you have the original set of 70? If so would you post here when you get your 120 to let us know if they are the same or not? Can’t wait to get my hands on them however.
Found these on Amazon today. “Premier Colored Pencils for Adults Coloring Books, Premium Artist Colored Pencil Set (72-Count), Handmade Canvas Pencil Wrap, Extra Accessories Included, Holiday Gift, Oil based Color Pencils Brand: JOYSTAR” They come with the roll, but the pencils end look different. Are they the same as the 72 set, but maybe an older version. I would have included the link, but I don’t know how.
Oh those are the FELISSIMO pencils. Yes, I have considered them and then considered what it would be like living someplace else after my Husband caught me sneaking them into the house!
You are so awesome Lori. I keep putting lower end pencils on my wish list for after the first LOL. I do have a question. I really want the Holbein pencils and eventually, they are supposed to be solid in US Blick this year (I am not holding my breath and currently figuring out a way after covid to get a friend to bring them to me) ANYHOO...is there a cheap alternative to them? You have not steered me wrong, every low-cost option I have purchased based on your recommendations has been gold. Thank you!
My 120 set of the SJ Starjoy pencils just arrived! Talk about eye candy!! So many shades of each color! Can hardly wait for your review and comparison to the 72 set of Deli pencils. Hope the seller is correct that these are the same pencils!!!! The information on the back of the tin for support and contact info is not the same as the deli pencils. Crossing my fingers!
A friend of mine turned me on to a small set of 12 pencils under the brand name of Biltoy Colors . They are sold for about 5 dollars on Ebay, and they are wonderful. They look just like these and also perform like polys. Im not getting my hopes up but i would be over the moon if these are the same in a 72 set. I loved the 12 set so much i got 3 backups because i was told that 12 is as big as they get........ I ordered these today and they are sold out until the 18th. Hopefully they get here sooner.
People who ordered are getting emails that they are coming in earlier. One friend who ordered texted me and one sent email. For 28.99 these are polychromos duplicates and really nice to color with. So far everyone who has gotten them has liked them. I am really picky when it comes to pencils and they are at the top part of my top 10.
I heard they're the same pencils that are also made in the factory for Castle Art and Creyart. They all use the same manufacturer, and then just stamp their own labels on the pencils.
@@RealMelodyBlue - There's a 72 set by Hintung that's available right now that has a nicer variation of color, but is also comparable to Prismacolor. Maybe something to check out.
I purchased a set from eBay ca I could not find any pencils that had SJ Star-Joy. I was able to get the same set that you purchased with Deli on the tin and on the pencil. There is a set of pencils that have a similar type of picture on the tin but the pencils are gray. These are not the ones you want as they are Marcos Raffine under a different name.
I also bought these 2 or 3 years ago from aliexpress, there you can buy pencils for less than amazon. On amazon the factories or sellers offer their pencils for higher price, thats what I often recognized. This deli pencils are very high quality. Did you compare them to this new 120 set? Are these really exactly the same? I could not find this bluish grey in the 120 set on the pictures. Maybe they changed some colors?
If you see budget then usually there isn't any info but it doesn't mean they aren't. They are just not paying the astronomical price to have them tested.
I just received my Kalour pencil set of 130 for $25.99 from Amazon. I think they are very nice so far. A few seem less pigmented but for the price they are ok.
Not for nothing, but I have created some BEAUTIFUL pictures with my deli pencils. And schpirerr farben. Along with polychromos and prismacolor. I really really love these. I think I like the SF more but these are fantastic. My husband knew I loved colored pencils but didn't know anything about what brands I liked... he bought me these as a surprise and he was SO proud of himself lol. I really enjoy these. I have some big name expensive pencils. But I LOVE finding the cheap pencils that are super good. These are so enjoyable to use and the shades are great. I've found 2 or 3 great Polychromos dupes, but I STILL need a wax pencil that's not as crappy as prismas and cheaper than Derwent lightfast and Luminance. If anyone knows any I am all ears. I've heard arteza but they took them all off the market now due to the fact that they're after soluble and didn't disclose it. Now I'm afraid they're going to reformulate them. Are the Castle Arts any good?
Not available on Amazon. Sold out. However I found if you buy them with the pencil wrap, sharpener and pencil extender Amazon has them. Same price. I bought the combo set.
They're $31.99 for me, but I'm looking at it from england. They also don't ship to england. I could ship to family in the US and request they mail it to me, but eh. And I literally just bought some Castle pencils last night. They look amazing though, thanks for the demo!
I found the same image on aliexpress under the brand deli. Look identical so I got 72 for £19 to UK to try as a few places online say these are the same. Fingers crossed x
Eek, I did not word my request very good. I meant one that we could use to swatch out our pencils when we get them. I can make one, but love to use what others come up with as mine are pretty boring, except for the beautiful colors that is. 🤗
Omg 😲 seriously. I rushed over to get some but they won't ship to New Zealand. Been wanting p/cmos for so long but unfortunately $720 for a set of 120 is way too much. 😥 😔 your very fortunate and seriously generous of you to share your findings with us.
It's going to change when he uploads. I am not sure which ones he is going to get in. These pencils are not marked the same but he is insisting they are. I'll know on Tuesday and tell everyone. So far the 72 set is sold on Ali Express, but it was more money than Amazon. He uploaded a 120 set and said they were the same. That's what we are waiting on. The URL is going to change.
When I searched for these they were out of stock on amazon UK and when I put them into ebay a coloured pencil called skyglory Colombia oil pencils came up. Can't find these anywhere!!! 😢
Skyglory Colombia may be a rebrand. Wait a few days and I'll explain why a bit further. If you must order them this second they are available on Aliexpress. Look for the exact picture. Don't go by the brand name. Search by Deli pencils. Many different sellers and people who are branding them will come up. Trust only the picture. Price should be between 30-40 US. I don't know what it would be UK.
Hi, I bought these on AliExpress for 18 quid last month, my very first purchase from them. You do need patience though as they took 4 weeks and a day to arrive (daily tracking checks certainly helps😆). As already mentioned, you have to go by the picture when searching for them, and 'shop around' on AliExpress until you find a price you're happy with 😊
@@ColorMyWorld of artist grades, I know it to be Fabre castle polychromos. I am asking about those in mid to ‘budget’ range. The pencils which will give me the feel of polychromos. As far as I know till now, the colored pencil that gives most of fab-polychromos feeling is deli. So I wanted to know if there are other more pencils as such. Thank you 🥰💚 and much love!
Oh those do look nice. I'm on a bit of a pencil no buy for awhile, since I'm moving. Also they are currently out of stock in Canada. I might need to try to get them eventually though.
You keep reviewing a pencils no longer available. The Brunfarber squares are gone from the link and now these are not available. So frustrating! Trying to get a set of budgets. And I don’t know if the newer round brunfarbers are as good as the squares.
@@KikisCraftRoom I have that set and also like them. Trying to get a set for my granddaughter. I was so disappointed to not get the square brunfarner. Had them in my cart but they sold out before I could finish 😢😢
These are a gem! Are they the best.....prob not.... but are they worth $30 and under including shipping...YES! I been using these for a few months now and really enjoy using them and not feeling bad about wasting "my good pencils" and money. Great for fun coloring, practicing art, study, sketchbook, crafts, etc. I doubt they are lightfast but who cares for how good they work....and if u are selling your art, then and only then it is worth spending the money for a professional set like Derwent lightfast pencils that are around $50 for 12pc set......
What about: Light-fastness? FSC (cedar) wood casing? Toxicity of the lead? Production facility and the footprint of it on the environment? What about labour conditions in that facility? What about child-labour? I am not saying all these questions I have are all reality..., but do know that I don't want to create art with pencils partly made that way. Red flags! Children should create with the pencils , not make them.
Probably but if your looking for Deli Pencils they will be back shortly. The guy who's link it is has told me they were on the way to Amazon. Takes 10 days.
They sold out but they restocked them so if you don't see them available right now they said watch for them cause they already sent their restocking to Amazon. Thank you for shareing
I have been putting out notices. They are sold out for now but Andy has 1000 sets on the way to Amazon. They should be there in a few days, but then he has to wait for them to actually stock his listings. Amazon defaults to other listings. I talk about it in my newest video. I am sorry about all this. Once Amazon stocks them they won't go out for a long time. All pencils are like this now because they aren't essential items and Amazon is short staffed because of the Pandemic. It's been going on for a while, but stock for everyone is going low.
@@ColorMyWorld awesome! Thanks for info.🥰. I'll be on the look out for them to restock... I did just watched your new video. Do I wait for the the restock, or get the markart set instead. 🤔🤷♀️ lol..
@@ColorMyWorld PS. I just came across your channel the other day and I absolutely love it so far. Especially love the 100 and 10% honesty on all your reviews. I'm glad I saw your video on the arteza set cuz I was about to buy they're colored pencils among other things.. I'm glad that I didn't.
@@sharonbarner660 Don't miss the Markart sale. Your not going to see those pencils at that price for long. They are different pencils, but very very similar. Since these pencils don't come with stock pencils available, having multiple sets is never going to hurt.
The first was for the 72 set. Then the vendor put it for 120 so he changed the picture. You can get the set easily on Ali Express. Many vendors have them. It was just a drop cheaper on Amazon and you didn't have to wait forever to get them in.
@@alexsteen5770 Very limited quantity and only going out 50 sets at a time. It's a stocking issue with Amazon not a company issue. I am in touch with the owner and he is letting me know play by play how Amazon is doing it. This isn't a "Essential" item so it's been getting limited as all non-essential items re on Amazon. Amazon states they are short staffed with the Pandemic going on. Makes sense although I think Colored Pencils are Essential. At least to me they are :)
I am probably not the best person to ask as I don't like Arteza products at all. Deli by Star-joy are my top pick, Star-joy 120, Mark-Art, Marcos Renui (didn't spell thtat right), Prismacolor, etc are all better. Go into my last video and open up the description. You will find my list of top budget pencils and where to get them. :)
When I couldn't find these in stock I was looking on Amazon at other color pencils and found the 72 count tin of Prismacolor Premier pencils for thirty five bucks on sale! I ordered them right away. Is this the normal amount for Prismacolors or was that a good deal for them?
I've seen that price for a few months on eBay and on other sites like Jerry's Artarama, Blick's, Mercari, Poshmark, etc. But now that price has gone up to the $50 range for all those sites, so it's great that you nabbed them when you did.
@@YourMajesty143 Prismacolor always goes down before Christmas and up right after New Years. It's been like that for years. I usually buy my yearly sets in November. They have lots in stock and want to get the early sales. The 150 was 95 this year. That was up slightly from the 85 the year before. Now I am seeing them for as high as 118.
@@ColorMyWorld - Ugh these sales expect us to have our phones & computers glued to our eyes and our credit cards taped to our necks! Maybe it's a good thing, this hobby is taking me to broke city lol
This is actually perfect because I'm Inlove with Polychromos and I wanted to find very closely similar to the Polychromos but wasn't able to untill this video
We wiped them out LOL. Getting another set today that I think uses the same pencils. These will go back on sale. I probably gave the vendor a heart attack as their notification went off for sales. They didn't know anything about my review.
@@lindam.6782 I wonder why there's such a big difference between the quality of the sets? Makes me very hesitant to purchase. I forget, are they returnable?
Did you buy the Brutfuner 180 on AliExpress becausa the 180 are different pencils than the 160. I have the 180 ordered from AliExpress and plan on comparing them to the 168 I have from Amazon. We will be waiting together.
@@ColorMyWorld I have the Brutfuner 180, I've not drawn anything yet but have swatched all of them (took all day) and done some blending and layering tests. They say "oily pencils" on the package, and they're not lying. That said, the colors are vivid, they behave well. I'll watch your big test this evening to see what you thought, but I was pretty impressed for the price.
@@davek12 The new ones are black barrel while other sets aren't. I have the 180 that are not black barrel. If the core is 4.0 then they will be similar or exact matches to the Shuttle Art 174. The Shuttle Art 180 went back to the 3.3mm barrel and that was probably a mistake. The 4.0 barrel was much nicer and less brittle. I still haven't gone back into the site and looked at the pencils close up for Brutfutter. They produce so many different pencils it's hard to keep up.
@@ColorMyWorld I understand you completely, Lori. I’ll try them & let you know. I love my polychromos but they are expensive. FYI I love watching & listening to you. Reminds me of home. Originally from NY but a Fl implant for 30 yrs now.
The wrap isn't the same pencils. I have it here and the wrap is really nice, but I haven't tested the pencils yet. It just got here over the weekend. They don't appear bad or good, but that's about the most I can say now. I'll be swatching them soon. I have a few videos I have to do first.
Thank you, I’ll look forward to seeing your review on the wrapped ones as well. I added them ( tin ones to my cart, I’m hoping you get an affiliate bonus if I purchase through your link, let me know before I hit check out lol.... love your videos, your awesome! ❤️
@@dayleigh01 If you are trying to decide between them go for the one in the tin with the hut on it. Those are Deli pencils and they are fantastic. The review wouldn't matter much because the Deli blows those pencils out of the park.
They are pretty good but they aren't the Deli pencils. I was pretty sad, but I have been working with them all week and they are nice. I have a few videos coming out about there and how best to use them. They are pretty and look like the other ones but they aren't as heavy and I don't think the core is as thick. I am going to do a comparison for people. I promise, it's in the works now. BTW. Star-Joy should have just told the truth, which was probably because he couldn't get them anymore. Take a look at the back of the box and tell me what you see and what might be a bit deceptive. I guarantee you will spot it.
May have to try them. They look nice and bright. Wish I had thee money. Will have to wait. They look very nice. Of course they are cheaper if your on Amazon. Out of Stock. What a surprise. lol.
Bought the 120 set because you were told they were the same at the 72 set. I couldn't wait to get them, but am very disappointed. They are not anything special. I should have saved the $30. Have you compared them to the 72 set?
Oh I promise you... I have a lot to say on this and the lies that were told by Star-joy. Watch videos next week. I am not going to sound too nice. The guy pulled the NYer out of me.
@@ColorMyWorld I can't wait for the video. In your opinion are these pencils worth keeping or should I send them back? I only sharpened the 1st tray so I'm not sure they would even except a return.
I bought these on ali express two years ago and they are magnificient. You can do almost everything with them. They are great...
Thank your so much for reviewing these budget pencils. I have just bought these as the brand deli to check if they are the same and have loads more including square brutfuner on my list... You are an enabler and I love it 😂❤️

Orchidlady50 Do you have the original set of 70? If so would you post here when you get your 120 to let us know if they are the same or not? Can’t wait to get my hands on them however.
@@Reete2 I do not have the original set of 70 but Color My World will be posting her review and comparison We’d or Thurs.
Found these on Amazon today. “Premier Colored Pencils for Adults Coloring Books, Premium Artist Colored Pencil Set (72-Count), Handmade Canvas Pencil Wrap, Extra Accessories Included, Holiday Gift, Oil based Color Pencils
Brand: JOYSTAR” They come with the roll, but the pencils end look different. Are they the same as the 72 set, but maybe an older version. I would have included the link, but I don’t know how.
I have also found the 72 set in the tin, exact same set as the one reviewed, on EBay if anyone is interested. They are selling for around $32.
Have you considered purchasing and reviewing the Tokyo Seeds 500ct?
Sounds interesting. My Husband is going to send you a strongly worded email about you enabling my bad habits. :)
Oh those are the FELISSIMO pencils. Yes, I have considered them and then considered what it would be like living someplace else after my Husband caught me sneaking them into the house!
@@ColorMyWorld 🤣🤣🤣
Ordered! Thank you for the recommendation.
Well did u like them? I bought my set today from Ebay. Gonna take 2 months to get here :*(
They sound so nice! I LOVE my polychromos so much. Thanks for this review on these colored pencils. :)
I have a question, are these better than the amazon basics and brutfuner square?!
You are so awesome Lori. I keep putting lower end pencils on my wish list for after the first LOL. I do have a question. I really want the Holbein pencils and eventually, they are supposed to be solid in US Blick this year (I am not holding my breath and currently figuring out a way after covid to get a friend to bring them to me) ANYHOO...is there a cheap alternative to them? You have not steered me wrong, every low-cost option I have purchased based on your recommendations has been gold. Thank you!
My 120 set of the SJ Starjoy pencils just arrived! Talk about eye candy!! So many shades of each color! Can hardly wait for your review and comparison to the 72 set of Deli pencils. Hope the seller is correct that these are the same pencils!!!! The information on the back of the tin for support and contact info is not the same as the deli pencils. Crossing my fingers!
Thank you for the review! I just bought them on online shop for $13 and i cant wait to try them
I bought it on shopee, but I'm not sure if people outside Asia can use the app 🤷♀️
These r beautiful,beautiful pencils....I’ve ordered another set of 72 this evening,Thankyou for your reviews ❤️
Does everyone color this dark or am I coloring to light
Nyoni are also like the polychromos from FC. A lot of chinese pencils are very good ..
A friend of mine turned me on to a small set of 12 pencils under the brand name of Biltoy Colors . They are sold for about 5 dollars on Ebay, and they are wonderful. They look just like these and also perform like polys. Im not getting my hopes up but i would be over the moon if these are the same in a 72 set. I loved the 12 set so much i got 3 backups because i was told that 12 is as big as they get........ I ordered these today and they are sold out until the 18th. Hopefully they get here sooner.
People who ordered are getting emails that they are coming in earlier. One friend who ordered texted me and one sent email. For 28.99 these are polychromos duplicates and really nice to color with. So far everyone who has gotten them has liked them. I am really picky when it comes to pencils and they are at the top part of my top 10.
You have got to try the Norgerg and Linden 72 set of pencils! About the same price, and they are butter ♥️
I heard they're the same pencils that are also made in the factory for Castle Art and Creyart. They all use the same manufacturer, and then just stamp their own labels on the pencils.
@@YourMajesty143 I don't know about that, but I do know they are great budget pencils, close to Prismacolor
@@RealMelodyBlue - There's a 72 set by Hintung that's available right now that has a nicer variation of color, but is also comparable to Prismacolor. Maybe something to check out.
I'm confused would your reccomend this for an artist who needs blendabke but a variety of pencils on a Budget? Or do you have a better reccomendation?
I purchased a set from eBay ca I could not find any pencils that had SJ Star-Joy. I was able to get the same set that you purchased with Deli on the tin and on the pencil. There is a set of pencils that have a similar type of picture on the tin but the pencils are gray. These are not the ones you want as they are Marcos Raffine under a different name.
I also bought these 2 or 3 years ago from aliexpress, there you can buy pencils for less than amazon. On amazon the factories or sellers offer their pencils for higher price, thats what I often recognized.
This deli pencils are very high quality. Did you compare them to this new 120 set? Are these really exactly the same? I could not find this bluish grey in the 120 set on the pictures. Maybe they changed some colors?
What about the colour fastness, is there any information on it?
If you see budget then usually there isn't any info but it doesn't mean they aren't. They are just not paying the astronomical price to have them tested.
I just received my Kalour pencil set of 130 for $25.99 from Amazon. I think they are very nice so far. A few seem less pigmented but for the price they are ok.
Not for nothing, but I have created some BEAUTIFUL pictures with my deli pencils. And schpirerr farben. Along with polychromos and prismacolor. I really really love these. I think I like the SF more but these are fantastic. My husband knew I loved colored pencils but didn't know anything about what brands I liked... he bought me these as a surprise and he was SO proud of himself lol. I really enjoy these. I have some big name expensive pencils. But I LOVE finding the cheap pencils that are super good. These are so enjoyable to use and the shades are great. I've found 2 or 3 great Polychromos dupes, but I STILL need a wax pencil that's not as crappy as prismas and cheaper than Derwent lightfast and Luminance. If anyone knows any I am all ears. I've heard arteza but they took them all off the market now due to the fact that they're after soluble and didn't disclose it. Now I'm afraid they're going to reformulate them. Are the Castle Arts any good?
Not available on Amazon. Sold out. However I found if you buy them with the pencil wrap, sharpener and pencil extender Amazon has them. Same price. I bought the combo set.
They're $31.99 for me, but I'm looking at it from england. They also don't ship to england. I could ship to family in the US and request they mail it to me, but eh. And I literally just bought some Castle pencils last night. They look amazing though, thanks for the demo!
I found the same image on aliexpress under the brand deli. Look identical so I got 72 for £19 to UK to try as a few places online say these are the same. Fingers crossed x
No stock😭
Same colors and tray set up just like the Amazon basics, I wonder if they are the same?
23.99 with 10% off for a 120 set its a new release and the price will be going up cant wait to get mine
These are the ones I got a few days ago. I’m glad Lori did a review on them, now I feel better about getting yet ANOTHER pencil set.
@@GatewayAreaParanormal me too. Im always looking for a good pencils and love these reviews
Only 6 sets left on amazon
Does anyone have or found a blank color chart that we can use for this set?
It's in the video. It doesn't have color names but you can screen shot the swatch sheet.
Eek, I did not word my request very good. I meant one that we could use to swatch out our pencils when we get them. I can make one, but love to use what others come up with as mine are pretty boring, except for the beautiful colors that is. 🤗
Omg 😲 seriously. I rushed over to get some but they won't ship to New Zealand. Been wanting p/cmos for so long but unfortunately $720 for a set of 120 is way too much. 😥 😔 your very fortunate and seriously generous of you to share your findings with us.
Have u tried brutfuner color pencil ? If yes, how do u like this deli compared to brutfuner one?? I am so confused which to buy
The only Brutfuner pencil I like are the squares.
I got a cheap set of colored pencils (150) and they are low in color intensity, but sometimes that's what I want to use. So I love them.
You know when you turn down the color intensity or the vividness you are really muting the color. If you ever need to do that just add grey.
Are deli and starjoy pencils the same do you know? I saw a review saying they are.
No they are not the same. Deli has a fatter core. Star- joy has more colors but a thinner core.
@@ColorMyWorld I did not think they was the same. Thank you.
Hello the resale link is missing can you please add or tell me how to get to it....thank you so much
It's going to change when he uploads. I am not sure which ones he is going to get in. These pencils are not marked the same but he is insisting they are. I'll know on Tuesday and tell everyone. So far the 72 set is sold on Ali Express, but it was more money than Amazon. He uploaded a 120 set and said they were the same. That's what we are waiting on. The URL is going to change.
Is link same pencils they say star joy 120 count?
When I searched for these they were out of stock on amazon UK and when I put them into ebay a coloured pencil called skyglory Colombia oil pencils came up. Can't find these anywhere!!! 😢
Skyglory Colombia may be a rebrand. Wait a few days and I'll explain why a bit further. If you must order them this second they are available on Aliexpress. Look for the exact picture. Don't go by the brand name. Search by Deli pencils. Many different sellers and people who are branding them will come up. Trust only the picture. Price should be between 30-40 US. I don't know what it would be UK.
Hi, I bought these on AliExpress for 18 quid last month, my very first purchase from them. You do need patience though as they took 4 weeks and a day to arrive (daily tracking checks certainly helps😆). As already mentioned, you have to go by the picture when searching for them, and 'shop around' on AliExpress until you find a price you're happy with 😊
Thank you for the link
May I ask are there other colored pencils like deli?
What price range are you looking at?
@@ColorMyWorld of artist grades, I know it to be Fabre castle polychromos. I am asking about those in mid to ‘budget’ range. The pencils which will give me the feel of polychromos. As far as I know till now, the colored pencil that gives most of fab-polychromos feeling is deli. So I wanted to know if there are other more pencils as such. Thank you 🥰💚 and much love!
@@Sadia..t Star Joy
Oh those do look nice. I'm on a bit of a pencil no buy for awhile, since I'm moving. Also they are currently out of stock in Canada. I might need to try to get them eventually though.
You keep reviewing a pencils no longer available. The Brunfarber squares are gone from the link and now these are not available. So frustrating! Trying to get a set of budgets. And I don’t know if the newer round brunfarbers are as good as the squares.
I really like the Schpirerr Farbens.
@@KikisCraftRoom I have that set and also like them. Trying to get a set for my granddaughter. I was so disappointed to not get the square brunfarner. Had them in my cart but they sold out before I could finish 😢😢
These are a gem! Are they the best.....prob not.... but are they worth $30 and under including shipping...YES! I been using these for a few months now and really enjoy using them and not feeling bad about wasting "my good pencils" and money. Great for fun coloring, practicing art, study, sketchbook, crafts, etc. I doubt they are lightfast but who cares for how good they work....and if u are selling your art, then and only then it is worth spending the money for a professional set like Derwent lightfast pencils that are around $50 for 12pc set......
Thank you for another great review they help so much. I hope I can get some too.
What about: Light-fastness? FSC (cedar) wood casing? Toxicity of the lead? Production facility and the footprint of it on the environment? What about labour conditions in that facility? What about child-labour?
I am not saying all these questions I have are all reality..., but do know that I don't want to create art with pencils partly made that way. Red flags! Children should create with the pencils , not
make them.
I just checked your link and Amazon says instock March 7, 2021.
This link didn’t take me to that product? Maybe they are sold out?
Probably but if your looking for Deli Pencils they will be back shortly. The guy who's link it is has told me they were on the way to Amazon. Takes 10 days.
@@ColorMyWorld ty! I’m dying to try them and I LOVE your channel ! Your fun, honest by far my go to for reviews! Happy coloring
@@366lola That's so sweet. Thank you! I try to give reviews like I would like them. Tell me all the bad and let me make my choice.
They sold out but they restocked them so if you don't see them available right now they said watch for them cause they already sent their restocking to Amazon. Thank you for shareing
I know. I was the one who asked them LOL They sent the answer in last night. Mid January.
Thank you, for this video. I bought these pencils using your link. And I love them. They feel like Arteza color pencils.
I just tried the link they are out of stock
I'm in Canada and on amazon Canada they are 94$ :(
I cant find them. The link pulls up a rolled up canvas set ?
I have been putting out notices. They are sold out for now but Andy has 1000 sets on the way to Amazon. They should be there in a few days, but then he has to wait for them to actually stock his listings. Amazon defaults to other listings. I talk about it in my newest video. I am sorry about all this. Once Amazon stocks them they won't go out for a long time. All pencils are like this now because they aren't essential items and Amazon is short staffed because of the Pandemic. It's been going on for a while, but stock for everyone is going low.
@@ColorMyWorld awesome! Thanks for info.🥰. I'll be on the look out for them to restock... I did just watched your new video. Do I wait for the the restock, or get the markart set instead. 🤔🤷♀️ lol..
@@ColorMyWorld PS.
I just came across your channel the other day and I absolutely love it so far. Especially love the 100 and 10% honesty on all your reviews. I'm glad I saw your video on the arteza set cuz I was about to buy they're colored pencils among other things.. I'm glad that I didn't.
@@sharonbarner660 Don't miss the Markart sale. Your not going to see those pencils at that price for long. They are different pencils, but very very similar. Since these pencils don't come with stock pencils available, having multiple sets is never going to hurt.
@@ColorMyWorld sounds like a plan. On my way to purchase them now :-).
Thank you so much❣️ I bought them directly....on Amazon Sweden for only 16 dollars and free delivery and it was the last set🤩🤩🤩🤩
Unavailable on amazon Lori, but I notice , the link u put is not the same photo on your pencil lid box. Are they the same ones?
The first was for the 72 set. Then the vendor put it for 120 so he changed the picture. You can get the set easily on Ali Express. Many vendors have them. It was just a drop cheaper on Amazon and you didn't have to wait forever to get them in.
Deli is a large office stationery manufacturer in China. I have their pencil sharpener which is pretty good too.
You are right, but it's connected to Andstal oil. More info coming out this week. Stay tuned.
I wish I could have gotten a set. They are no longer available on Amazon.
Hold that thought just a tiny bit longer.
They are able to order now
@@alexsteen5770 Very limited quantity and only going out 50 sets at a time. It's a stocking issue with Amazon not a company issue. I am in touch with the owner and he is letting me know play by play how Amazon is doing it. This isn't a "Essential" item so it's been getting limited as all non-essential items re on Amazon. Amazon states they are short staffed with the Pandemic going on. Makes sense although I think Colored Pencils are Essential. At least to me they are :)
Are these smoother than Arteza’s?
I am probably not the best person to ask as I don't like Arteza products at all. Deli by Star-joy are my top pick,
Star-joy 120, Mark-Art, Marcos Renui (didn't spell thtat right), Prismacolor, etc are all better. Go into my last video and open up the description. You will find my list of top budget pencils and where to get them. :)
When I couldn't find these in stock I was looking on Amazon at other color pencils and found the 72 count tin of Prismacolor Premier pencils for thirty five bucks on sale! I ordered them right away. Is this the normal amount for Prismacolors or was that a good deal for them?
They are still on sale. I have an announcement coming about it. Best deal around.
I've seen that price for a few months on eBay and on other sites like Jerry's Artarama, Blick's, Mercari, Poshmark, etc. But now that price has gone up to the $50 range for all those sites, so it's great that you nabbed them when you did.
@@YourMajesty143 Prismacolor always goes down before Christmas and up right after New Years. It's been like that for years. I usually buy my yearly sets in November. They have lots in stock and want to get the early sales. The 150 was 95 this year. That was up slightly from the 85 the year before. Now I am seeing them for as high as 118.
@@YourMajesty143 I just checked. You are right. They upped the link I had to around 52. Got to grab them when you see them.
@@ColorMyWorld - Ugh these sales expect us to have our phones & computers glued to our eyes and our credit cards taped to our necks! Maybe it's a good thing, this hobby is taking me to broke city lol
I don't know if any one ask on some of the budget pencils, but out of all the ones you have shown. How do they hold up for fading out?
You always have to assume that they are NOT lightfast unless it's specifically mentioned on the packaging
Looks like the price is 31.99 now
Yes but for 120 count.
@@cshula1 I ordered 2 sets of the first link and one set of 120
Fun video Lori, thanks!!
This is actually perfect because I'm Inlove with Polychromos and I wanted to find very closely similar to the Polychromos but wasn't able to untill this video
I just went online and they are currently unavailable 😭
We wiped them out LOL. Getting another set today that I think uses the same pencils. These will go back on sale. I probably gave the vendor a heart attack as their notification went off for sales. They didn't know anything about my review.
@@ColorMyWorld That's great though! Company's need more people like you to help support them! 😊

@@lindam.6782 I wonder why there's such a big difference between the quality of the sets? Makes me very hesitant to purchase. I forget, are they returnable?
In Canada these pencils on Amazon have now gone up to $124.00. I should have purchased them when there were $39.99. 🤦🏼♀️
They are sold out now in the USA, but they will get them in again.
Interestingly, Amazon tells me they can’t be shipped to Canada 🤔
Gougers are among my least favorite type of people.

Did you know those pencils are on sale in the uk for £97 plus £11 postage
I just bought these on AliExpress today. They also have the Brutfuner pencils. It will take a while to get them but I can wait..
Did you buy the Brutfuner 180 on AliExpress becausa the 180 are different pencils than the 160. I have the 180 ordered from AliExpress and plan on comparing them to the 168 I have from Amazon. We will be waiting together.
@@ColorMyWorld I have the Brutfuner 180, I've not drawn anything yet but have swatched all of them (took all day) and done some blending and layering tests. They say "oily pencils" on the package, and they're not lying. That said, the colors are vivid, they behave well. I'll watch your big test this evening to see what you thought, but I was pretty impressed for the price.
@@davek12 The new ones are black barrel while other sets aren't. I have the 180 that are not black barrel. If the core is 4.0 then they will be similar or exact matches to the Shuttle Art 174. The Shuttle Art 180 went back to the 3.3mm barrel and that was probably a mistake. The 4.0 barrel was much nicer and less brittle. I still haven't gone back into the site and looked at the pencils close up for Brutfutter. They produce so many different pencils it's hard to keep up.
Are these the same as the 120 count set?
No, they just ran out. This isn't the rolled set. They will restock. Keep looking
I just purchased the 120 set by sj star joy they look and lay down exactly the same as the pencils you just reviewed...
They look the same cost less $21 for 120 set same logo on pencils, has the gold ring on top too & in a tin case. I ordered those can’t hurt.
@@0Velazquez I can only say what I see. Be very careful. I am evaluating 35 budget pencils right now and they are very different.
@@ColorMyWorld I understand you completely, Lori. I’ll try them & let you know. I love my polychromos but they are expensive. FYI I love watching & listening to you. Reminds me of home. Originally from NY but a Fl implant for 30 yrs now.
I noticed they sell the pencils in a tin or in a wrap, is there any difference between them?
The wrap isn't the same pencils. I have it here and the wrap is really nice, but I haven't tested the pencils yet. It just got here over the weekend. They don't appear bad or good, but that's about the most I can say now. I'll be swatching them soon. I have a few videos I have to do first.
Thank you, I’ll look forward to seeing your review on the wrapped ones as well. I added them ( tin ones to my cart, I’m hoping you get an affiliate bonus if I purchase through your link, let me know before I hit check out lol.... love your videos, your awesome! ❤️
@@dayleigh01 If you are trying to decide between them go for the one in the tin with the hut on it. Those are Deli pencils and they are fantastic. The review wouldn't matter much because the Deli blows those pencils out of the park.
I just ordered the 120 set still under $30
Those are beautiful.
Hi Just had to let you know I got my stars today I got the 120 tin Can’t wait to try them!! Xo love the tin
They are pretty good but they aren't the Deli pencils. I was pretty sad, but I have been working with them all week and they are nice. I have a few videos coming out about there and how best to use them. They are pretty and look like the other ones but they aren't as heavy and I don't think the core is as thick. I am going to do a comparison for people. I promise, it's in the works now. BTW. Star-Joy should have just told the truth, which was probably because he couldn't get them anymore. Take a look at the back of the box and tell me what you see and what might be a bit deceptive. I guarantee you will spot it.
@@lindam.6782 yes when I found out and the 70 set was available I ordered them have you got the70 set
Thanks, now I won't be able to buy these, cause now they'll be out by Thursday, LOL
They are Not in stock anywhere in UK, amazon is saying don't know if they will get them back, so wanted these too
May have to try them. They look nice and bright. Wish I had thee money. Will have to wait. They look very nice. Of course they are cheaper if your on Amazon. Out of Stock. What a surprise. lol.
Bought the 120 set because you were told they were the same at the 72 set. I couldn't wait to get them, but am very disappointed. They are not anything special. I should have saved the $30. Have you compared them to the 72 set?
Oh I promise you... I have a lot to say on this and the lies that were told by Star-joy. Watch videos next week. I am not going to sound too nice. The guy pulled the NYer out of me.
