Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this from Amazon to replace a set of 132 I had bought at a local art store. I had given my previous store-bought set to my nephew and he agreed to replace it. The price on Amazon was about $15-$20 less than in the local store so I ordered this set from Amazon. Thought I'd be a good guy and save my nephew a few $$. It arrived in good time and was shrink-wrapped, so I assumed it was factory fresh, as advertised, as was my store-bought set. When I opened it, I was a little surprised to see all the pencils were sharpened, unlike the store-bought set, which had no sharpened points, just factory-fresh flat ends. A little different, but acceptable to me. I then went through all the pencils, to separate them by color family in their plastic carriers. That's when I noticed most of these pencils were made in Mexico, a few were made in the USA, a few didn't specify where they were made, and one pencil actually had "Scholar" imprinted, and a different number system, which is a lower-grade (student) pencil. Most had "Premier" engraved, but a few did not. I'm not saying any of these pencils came used, they were all new, but it looks as if someone, somewhere, put these 132 together from different sets, some possibly older, and of course the student-grade pencil. If I had to do it all over again, I'd replace my store-bought set with....well....another store-bought set. Definitely not the usual fine Amazon purchase I'm used to. I actually feel, a little, cheated. Disappointing.
