Way too much money on this site. You can buy this at ToysRUs for $29.99.

This same kit was in the big toy book last Christmas (2006). It was less than twenty five dollars. My kids loved it but the wood case hinges did break rather quickly. Shop around for a good deal.

Great gift but only $32.99 at Toys R Us this year. Why such a MAJOR price difference on this site? Ridiculous!

The contents of the case are wonderful! It contains crayons, colored pencils, markers, oil markers, water colors (with one small brush), glitter, glue, scissors (no paper). I bought this for my 8 yr. old grandson who enjoys and does well in using art to express himself. The case arrived in shrink wrap. I immediately saw the handle was cracked and one edge of the case was chipped. The handle broke in two. Rather than return it and since we do woodworking, I decided we would repair the handle. We have glued it. The repair was not perfect; and I now must sand and restain. In retrospect I could have bought something equal to this case at an arts and crafts store or possibly bought each of the Crayola contents in separate packages. The contents are great; the case very disappointing. I bought the smaller art kit for my granddaughter. The colors were packed in Crayola boxes. Paper, scissors and glue included. I had to set up the kit. We have to glue in the liners of the case. When you close the lid the contents fall out.

The Crayola 200 piece Masterworks Art Case was (in it self) a good product. However when it arrived--whether it was damaged prior to packaging or after----the wooden handle was broken and there was a big piece off the side of the wooden case. Could have sent it back but how do you have a grandaughter give it up on Christmas Day???????????????????? At least Crickets answered me back about this but AMAZON did not. So here is the review from an unha.ppy customer

The complaint seems to be that this site is asking way too much money for this item. It's because it is not being sold by Amazon, but by "sillyfamilyof7LLC" who are obviously trying to rip off the general public by charging nearly double what it actually retails for. Gotta love it.

I saw this same art set at our local Toys 'R Us and didn't immediately buy it because I wanted to see if I could get it cheaper on Amazon (which is often the case). Toys 'R Us was selling the same item for $34.99 which is needless to say where I purchased it. Looks to be a very nice art set for my daughter.

This is a awesome art case. So much and all organized. My daughter loved this kit and I am trying to buy another as hers was lost in our move. BUT I will not buy it from here as the price is over the top! Toys-R-Us has it on sale for $[...](regularly $[...]).

We got this as a Santa gift for our 6 year old daughter. She hasn't opened it yet, obviously, since it's not Christmas but it arrived on time and it wasn't broken. We did, however, buy it from Toys R Us. Just wanted to review on here, as well. I have shopped at amazon.com for YEARS and have always been pleased with their service and their competitive pricing. That being said, I can not believe that this is going for $75 now! I bought it at Toys R Us for $24.99 a few weeks ago! They are now out of stock, and maybe Crayola is discontinuing this product, which would explain the sky-high price on amazon. It's a great set, but definitely not worth paying $75 for it! Save your money and get the Crayola Super Art Coloring Kit - your child will still be thrilled and you will still be able to sleep at night! :)

Got this art set for my 9 yr old daughter for Xmas. She saw it in the toy catalog and requested it. Wont open until Xmas but it looks like a nice art case. Case is heavy duty and made out of wood. Only 25.00-35.00 at Toys R us!
