Yes, there are many interesting things going on in other countries if you are interested in collecting everything Crayola. I have no doubt these will become rarer and rarer as time goes on.
Very interesting. I like them as I'm sure the kids will also. I take it there were no new or interesting colors involved. Thanks for the update Ed!
ReplyDeleteNo, Alan, nothing new in terms of colors in these. I'm not exactly clear on what colors are in each though and I may never know as I doubt any collectors will get them from France.
