I found this online today when I was seeing where I could get the cheapest pack of watercolour pencils from. Super awesome price, I did a quick search and some online stores are charging up to $110 for the same set.
It seems like stock is a bit hit and miss though - my store (Clifford Gardens - Toowoomba) had heaps but the online stock shows some stores with none.

Maybe he/she meant they inadvertently came across this bargain while searching for cheap watercolour pencils.
sure - hopefully these weren't bought in the mistaken belief that they were watercolour pencils :)
Great find! Just picked up a set myself. Wasn't on shelf so I asked at the counter and they brought me one off a palette from the back. Had a look on eBay; this set is currently going for ~$40.
Big W site says only $5 off regular price. Nice case though.
There are 12 colour pencils, 12 water colour pencils, and 6 drawing pencils. Plus some accessories: A5 paper pad, a brush and eraser.
But the comparison of $110 for a similar set is inaccurate, as those are much larger sets. Similar sets are around $35 from UK, not including $27 of shipping. So still, excellent price for $15.I can't remember where I saw $110 when i did a quick google search but this site has going for $74.95 http://www.larrypost.com.au/big-surprises/derwenttm-academy-…
these are not watercolour pencils
you might find that they are larger sets of the better classic artists, studio or even watercolour ranges rather than academy
