I love these markers and I know EVERYONE is talking about them on here and on their blogs (including me), BUT I was wondering if it was only certain people who were so head over heels about them or if most people have quite the collection (I have over 50!).
I don't have any. I know I am still living in the stone age of stamping but I do have all the SU markers and I have Prismas. It has only been in the past 6 months that I have been exploring a stamping world outside of SU and I have to pace myself. I don't even have Nestabilities yet. :o
I'm a fan of the Tombow markers and that's what I'm working on collecting. I like what I've seen of the Copics, but I haven't felt the need to get any of them at this point.
None!! *gasp* I know I know! I have all of the SU markers and I use those constantly and I water color a lot. Even though I have heard great things about copics I just haven't felt the need to reach deep into my wallet and buy some!
I don't have any and don't foresee getting them. I'm marker challenged. No matter what I use them on it looks like a little kid did it. I'm sticking to Prismacolor pencils.

I don't own any either. I'm just getting back into stamping (I'm a die hard scrapbooker)and am still enjoying my SU markers and my new passion, watercolor pencils. Maybe someday.....

I'm the same way! Looks like a kid did it. :-) I have only the SU! markers and I mostly use them for coloring stamps, small detail fill ins on a stamped image, and writing inside cards to color match. I am not sure I see what all the excitement is about the Copics....they sound spendy. I saw a tutorial someone did that was titled "No Copics...no problem!" and she used SU! markers to create a similar look. Still looks like a lot of work to me, one way or another. :-)
I am in the don't have any and I don't feel the need to get any. I stamp for fun and can't color for beans. Copics wouldn't make me into a Kittie or Jeanne or Sherry. I have the whole set of SU markers and the whole set of watercolor crayons, I think that's plenty.
I have the Zig markers-have had them for quite some time and love them. I'd love to have the Copics also but can't justify the price right now. But they are beautiful colors, though.
I just bought another 15 of them at Hobby Lobby on Saturday. Can't believe I waited this long to get into them. Absolutely love them. I have appx 40 so far. Definitely will buy more as my budget allows.

I have exactly 80. Bought the first 20 at HL - all on sale. The rest I've bought singly, maybe 6-9 at a time, with careful studying of the colors/shades I would use the most. I plan to order more of the lightest shadow shades, and then I think I'll be done. Never regretted the $$$$ spent on these; they really are wonderful.
I don't have any. I'm holding out on this one, I like my Stampin Write markers, plus I'd rather buy stamps and paper than more markers, lol! I don't like to do alot of coloring anyways, I'm too lazy, I'd rather paper piece
I do not have any. I am always so behind the trends. I JUST learned how to do the Gamsol technique with my Primsa pencils. Maybe when everyone moves onto the next trend I'll catch up and get some Copics. However at the price they sell for I would rather spend my limited stamp budget on other things. I have seen some beautiful work created with the COpics though.

*sniff* I have zero... zip... zilch... nada...nothing...
oh and it's not that I don't want them... oh boy... I want them all. But pricey... yes, they are... perhaps someday though For now, I just drool at the creations made by others that have the copics
I just received my first 3 markers on Saturday from All That Scraps. I really only wanted a good shading color (got Pale Blue Gray) a skin tone (Skin White) and a ground color (got Yellow Green) I love coloring with my Prismacolor pencils, but shading the outline with the gray takes forever! I don't intend on getting that many of them.
I bit the bullet earlier today to get Ellen's 24C and 24D sets to round out my collection. i couldn't resist her St. Patty's Day discount. I currently have in my possession the 24A and 24B sets, so soon I'll have about 100. I don't think I'll get many more than that...I figure if I can't find the color I 'need' out of those 100, I can make the color I need by combining colors.
How many Copics do you own?
