There are indeed 150 unique crayons in this tower, including some neat glitter and metallic crayons. It includes a nice sharpener. My only beef is that they could have made the telescoping aspect a bit more stable, but it's pretty easy to put up and down. Other than that, it's a great way to store crayons so they don't break. My 2-1/2 year old loves it. It's also perfect for a group of kids at a table.

I've bought 2 Sets of this 150 count crayola crayon tower. There ARE 150 different colors. Some of them have similar colors; except some are gels,metallic & glitter. The gels are a creamy/smooth texture when you color. The metallics have a nice creamy shimmery texture. The glitters have the regular crayola quality just bits of glitter come out when you color. When I bought them some of the crayons looked the same until I used them on white paper. My friend & I had a blast trying out my kids crayons. I bought a second tower for her kids. They were just too much fun!!! Like I said some of the crayons look the same until you try them out. The only ones that are somewhat repeated are the gels,metallics & glitters. ie: lets say there's a regular purple, then there's a metallic purple, glitter purple & a gel purple. So yes it's a repeated color but not exactly. The main repeats are the primary colors, but they are repeated as gels,metallics & glitters. I highly recommend them. My daughters play with them every chance they get.

This is a great way to see all your crayon options...and there are a lot of options. My daughter loves having all those crayons at her fingertips. A little pricey for crayons, though--unlike another reviewer, we found it for less at Target. And while the telescoping idea is great, it's too hard for my 3 and 4 year olds to get it up and down by themselves. Also, I assumed that it came with a fitted hard plastic lid, but it just has a flimsy throw-away lid which doesn't do much to protect the crayons or prevent spills.

If you have duplicate colors, call Crayola. The number is on the bottom of the cardboard box. They're going to need the batch number that was imprinted on the bottom of the box (near the phone number). There definitely should not be duplicates.

I called and I have a coupon to buy a replacement one.

All kids love crayons! Our daughter is amazed at how many she has. The only negative I have to add is that some of the crayon tips were broken upon arrival of item. I am not sure what happened in shipping. Somebody must have dropped it or something. The case was not broken but more than 7 crayon tips were broken off.

I didn't buy this product through Amazon but through the Target near my house.

There are 150 different crayons! A lot of them SEEM to be the same but they are not; just a shade different. These crayons are durable and I like the telescoping tower as it makes it easier to view the 2nd and 3rd level of crayons. I'm having a lot of fun with this product!

My daughter got this as a birthday gift from her cousin. My first thought was that it was excessive. Now, a few weeks later, I think it's fantastic. Over 100 regular crayons, around 20 metallic and about the same of glitters. They store away in their own caddy and because it looks so neat she's actually interested in keeping all the crayons where they belong at the end of our coloring sessions.

This was a great way to get my son to use a variety of different colors because he could see all of them, Great idea and great value. Cheaper here than at Target!!!

As others mentioned, this is an expensive way to buy crayons, but the tower would have been worth it if it operated well. Unfortunately it is poorly designed: during the first couple uses, the tower several times collapsed unexpectedly, but for a while now it has been stuck in the 'up' position which means the cover can't be used and the crayons can't be stored easily. My "child" is 17, an artist, and has struggled to operate this tower (as I have), so I can't imagine young children would be able to use it without a clever adult's help. Also, the cover is of very flimsy plastic rather than the rigid plastic I expected, and it just sits over the collapsed tower rather than attaching to the base. I would not buy this product again unless Crayola took it back to the drawing board and fixed its design flaws.

Im a big fan of crayons and im always looking for variaty and durability, i love crayola. They always give us this huge variaty, it comes with a sharpener, ad 150 different colors including metallics and x-gel. Love it!!!
