What’s your favorite special effects crayon set from this batch?

I took a picture after I broke the seal with my trusty x-acto knife. I'm really glad that Dan D and Bea (Bluetiful) get to hang out with each other

Dug this up from my basement, the seal isn’t broken so it’s never been opened before. I have another one opened and used and I’m wondering if I should sell this one or keep it to use

I was keeping an eye out and finally found some, the box of 48 had these new crayon wrappers and the 64 box had all the crayons inside

but at least i get the old formula of periwinkle 🩵

Going to give to my niece

Missing eraser and a color stick. One is used.

I was going to use my spare crayons to create a coloring kit for when I'm out of the house, but I want YOU guys to help me so I don't just throw everything in one tin lol

Put a comment of up to five colors per commenter and I'll put them in to see what I get. If I don't have or can't find a spare of that specific color, I'll tell you so you can choose to request again. The tin is decently sized since it's a Pokemon card tin I wasn't using, so I'm not worried about space XD

Here's what I already put in as the basics so people don't have to waste their slots on them:

24 Colors of the World,

The bare bones(ROY G. BIV, Black, Gray, White, Brown),

The Cosmic Crayons pack excluding the yellow because it's already there(Pacific Blue, Jungle Green, Wild Strawberry, Sky Blue, Hot Magenta, Yellow Orange, Orchid. I had like 10 of these packs so I just threw one in),

The We're Back pack(Since I know it'll be a popular request lol)

Was hired to clean out a house. She told me to toss everything. Instead, she gave me permission to salvage and donate, save money on a dumpster. Thought this didn't belong in the trash.

Used an 8 pack plus a jumbo white. Could have made it more vibrant but I ran out of time.

Maize or Washable Maize?

Why is good crayola crayons so hard to get in the uk im so jealous of you Americans!!😩

Hi yall, not really a Crayola collector guy so resorting to this subreddit. I found this plum crayon in a Chick-Fil-A Kid’s Meal toy, and as I’ve never seen it before I looked it up. Apparently it was discontinued in 1990 but this is a brand new out of the box plum crayon. Is this crayon actually discontinued or is Google wrong? Thank you!

Apparently, Crayola does not count “sunny side up” as a separate color but instead counts it as a nickname for regular yellow in 2013.

Also, I wrote an essay about three reasons Crayola should update their 152-crayon box.

I’ve been trying to melt these crayons for a while now and I can’t seem to get the C’s, G’s, or U’s out of the mold without them cracking and I really need a C. I’ve been trying to modify the O’s and Q’s by cutting them but they just keep snapping. Any suggestions for how to get them out?
