I have none - I am getting the su ones and have all the marvy/zig and don't use them properly (IYKWIM) I looked on the website mentioned before and all the colours do look fab!! $575 for a set - they must be really good. I have been practising colouring for a day now!! Not too impressed with what I have done and if anyone has any bright ideas - that would be great.
my daughter who is actually interested in art school asked about them. I thought it would be too much for just me, but with two of us in the house using them?!?!? Now I am panicking because she will be leaving for college in 2 years and what will I do?? like I need any more enabling...

When I have got my su ones my dd is having the marvy and zig ones - she is really arty - hopng to take at gcse but doesn't quite know where she wants to go with it. Plenty of time.;)
I have about 30 and plan to get more! I have all the SU markers, and a set of Derwent watercolor pencils in the big wooden two drawer cabinet, and the 120 set of Prismas, but the Copics are so much easier for me - a non-artist! - any the results are superior fior me.
I don't own any as I was never one to care for colouring in my images - but I only recently bought some Tombows. I love them. Copics are a bit more expensive but I would try them if I knew where to buy them. In all honesty, I never thought about it until a week or 2 ago when I started to think about buying a few Bellas.
I picked up an excellent bargain on ebay recently - a hard case with 68 Copic Original markers in, �70. They are used, but all in good condition. Only one needs refilling. With the 36 markers that I received for Christmas, a small gift of markers this week from a relative, and some I have just ordered to "fill in gaps" *grin*, that takes me to well over 100 markers.
I love them, and have found them easy to start to use, but am well aware that I have much room for improvement in using them. They're just so much fun. There is no way I would have started collecting them if I had to pay �5 a marker though. Am going to keep building my collection whenever I see a good special offer.

I think I have 56 plus the glitter pens :-) I'm slowly collecting them. I don't have a favorite at this time, I love them all. I usually buy them in groups of 6 when I get them and I need instant gratification so I go to my local Dick Blick to get them. I only have the Sketch markers but probably would have gotten the Ciaos if they sold them individually because of the cost.

They are addictive, aren't they? One by one, all of mine came from Hobby Lobby with a coupon. I've filled the (32? or 36? ack!) case & am trying *desperately* to stop the madness.
My favorite color has to be Cool Water. Of course that could change any time there's another HL coupon!
I don't have any, but I do have SU markers, Primas, SU pencils, and other water color pencils. So far I am happy with what I have, however, I am sure like everything else when I see them enough on SCS I will "have" to have them too!!!
I was not going to buy Copics as a SU Demo but being in school for interior Design I had to purchase markers and it was between Copic and Prismacolor. So i have the full set of Sketch and well it cost me a ton but at least I can use them for stamping although they were purchased for school! Now I am just trying to find the easiest way to chart them since there are so many and not sure what a good way to do this is. Plus I need to learn how to use them correctly.

I really love the copic markers. I use them on polymer clay in connjunction with the airbrush system. The colors are vibrant and add a lovely splash of color.

I voted that I have none :(. I love all the colors, but I have two sets of SU markers (one is mine for only me to use and the other is for my customers and dd to use) DH would kill me if I spent the $$ on more markers. He probably wonders why I can't use crayola markers.
gee, I thought I was in the minority and just about the only sole on earth who hadn't yet bought any Copics! But that's far from the case - I am surprised there are so many others who also have none! hmmmm
