...or not as the case may be. Can't seem to get the image to show up in my post :(, but you can view it over at Future; Nostalgic where there's also more about the pens I picked up.

In the package I got:

2 x VR Ball 0.5 (red)
2 x VR Ball 0.7 (black)
2 x VR Ball 0.7 (blue)
2 x Hi-Techpoint VR5 extra-fine (blue)
2 x Hi-Techpoint VR5 fine (black)
2 x H-325 0.5 mechanical pencil
2 x cream-bodied rollerballs labelled 'PILOT Gel Ink' (with black G2 refills)
1 x Frixion light erasable highlighter (yellow)
1 x Frixion light erasable highlighter (pink)
2 x PermaBall broad (black)
2 x G-Tecmatic 0.7 (red)
2 x G-Tecmatic 0.7 (black)
2 x G-Tecmatic 0.7 (blue)

All for only £4.99 (approx $8.25), so now I'm a very happy bunny! :D

Cheers,
Sam

nice haul. it's cool that it comes with a variety of pens - it's clearly marketed for the pen addicts out there.

Thanks Sh00k, I couldn't believe my luck :shock: This sort of thing never happens to me!

You're right, there's a nice mix of pens in the tub, I'm going to have loads of fun testing them all. :D

Cheers,
Sam

actually, now that i think about it, i dont think i've seen anything like what you got here in the states... they have pens here which come like 12 in a box... staples sometimes has staples brand pens which are like 18 in a box and 3 different colors (like 6 blue, 6 black, 6 red or something like that)... but i've never seen a package w/varying size pens+pencils....

To be fair, it's the first time I've seen anything like that in the UK - only wish I could have got more than one pack; they only had the one left. :(

From what I've managed to find out about it (precious little actually), I think it was a back-to-school offer from last year and the shop must have had one kicking around in their stockroom since then. If I can ever find another source for these, I'll post a link.
