    Default Mega Paint set is back - and remarkably cheap

    The mega paint set is back and up for advance order at £155. I worked out that saves you £108.95 versus buying all the bits individually, so pretty good value from GW. How many people actually want every single paint that GW makes is interesting question.

    I know I do not need all of them myself, as I have a good collection of valejo paints. I do love valejo paints but the problem is i do not like the eye dropper style and I much prefer the open pot where i have better control of how much i use. I waste a lot with valejo

    The problem I have with the new style pots though (and I know I should not paint direct from the pot) is the lids don't stay open. I know its minor but it gets on my nerves so much so I switched to Vallejo myself and am finding them much better paints. GW washes though take some beating.

    Well they are advertising it on the Australian GW site for a mere $413 Aus dollars.
    love to see how many are in that que to afford it.

    I already own pretty much all the paints anyway, but at that price everyone can afford it

    That's only £100 mark-up how lucky are you?

    I prefer reaper master series, but who buys paint sets? Of any brand?

    Yeah! No kidding. I miss the old lids.

    I ended up just buying a few pots each week since last Christmas and modifying a spare case I had to hold the paints, brushes, etc.

    Well as shipping costs less then 105 pounds then it would be cheaper to get someone in the UK to buy it and send it over, I might actually consider that since it saves a good 50 dollars and I could use the set.

    I use standard acrylic paint you can buy at any hobby/craft store. I've never had any issues with getting the effects I want, and I pay half as much for twice the paint.

    You're not opening them far enough. You have to take them past the little catch at the 90 degree point, at which time, they click and stay open. Then when done, you put a little force past the catch and they close just fine...

    I think it's a great value too, but being one of those people who love to paint, I've already got a huge collection of paints from every company already...
