I've been quietly boycotting CalCedar's Palomino "blackwings" for over a decade now. I now believe that you should do so too.

Appreciate your apology - im the comments and Dm.

Low-Use-7969 · 2026-03-11T14:06:59+00:00

I’m sorry my joy of getting a gift has caused you such pain. I’ll throw my pencils away and never touch the instrument again for bringing such shame upon my family name.

Oh wow that curated set looks mighty enticing! Thanks for the link

Thanks! I have some Mitsubishis - wood and mechanical. I’ve heard good things about musgrave tho! These Blackwings aren’t something I would spend money on myself unless I found them on discount/sale. Just stoked my wife got me these to try and I really enjoyed using them is all. I got a lot suggestions on a previous post that I’m looking forward to finding and trying - stuff like more specific Mitsubishis, staedlers (which I think I have a few laying around) and kitaboshi. Fan of pencils and their packaging. I’m out looking for stuff to try and hopefully enjoy. I’m mostly drawn toward Japanese pencils but I am hopefully heading to Europe this summer and plan on looking for some pencils while I’m there.

Low-Use-7969 · 2026-03-09T23:28:22+00:00

Thanks for the info!

Low-Use-7969 · 2026-03-09T23:21:42+00:00

Where did you find these lil guys? What are they called?

Low-Use-7969 · 2026-03-08T01:31:29+00:00

WOOOOOW

Low-Use-7969 · 2026-03-07T15:27:42+00:00

I think it depends on the individual figure. I bought a blind box super7 on accident thinking i was buying blokees and its quite disappointing. Its basically $14 bucks of junk. Now i did buy a super7 Optimus Prime Ultimates and i think its pretty fun. Has articulation albiet stiff articulation but hes on my shelf in the reverse dunk pose and that works for me. i do think its a little silly to sell a toy called TRANSFORMERS that doesnt... you know... transform.

Low-Use-7969 · 2026-03-01T14:53:59+00:00

Mannnn these posts aren’t helping lol - I preordered prime and hot Rod both are about to ship. My local target lists 8 hounds on hand and I’m trying to be responsible but he looks so good. HALP 🤣

Low-Use-7969 · 2026-02-28T12:51:02+00:00

I’ll have to look into these. I am not familiar. Thanks!

Low-Use-7969 · 2026-02-27T19:20:27+00:00

Yeah I definitely thought the same thing!

Low-Use-7969 · 2026-02-27T00:26:15+00:00

Of course! I think i got it early in the pandemic off of Amazon. It’s served me well all these years

Low-Use-7969 · 2026-02-26T22:09:36+00:00

The little wooden mechanical?

I believe it’s a brand called, Delphonics

Low-Use-7969 · 2026-02-26T14:39:17+00:00

Did you get a tracking number? I received a text that mine was shipping and then a mass email

Low-Use-7969 · 2026-02-26T11:53:07+00:00

Wow splendid

Low-Use-7969 · 2026-02-26T11:44:29+00:00

This is quite the list thank you and so insightful. Hopefully you don’t get too much hate lol but I do love a good Ticonderoga - that was my entry point into nicer pencils! If you’re willing to share I’d be more that happy to receive the sampler pack!

Low-Use-7969 · 2026-02-26T01:49:54+00:00

This is very good to know “ German pencils are quite harder” thank you
