Where can I find Ticonderoga Core Lock Colored Pencils?

Question

They are the suggested pencils on my school, list. If I can find them, I'll buy them, or else I'll use Crayola. But I checked Staples and they don't have them, so does anyone know where I can get the Ticonderoga Pencils?

And- how do you pronounce Ticonderoga?

Answer 1

The pronunciation: Tie - Cone - dear - oga

These seem to be hard to find. Good but hard to find.  It seems to me that these need to be ordered online.  I've found them on educators websites but not on artist sites.  There is one office site I found with them:

You may also try the sites that they recommend:

My guess is you will be hard pressed to find them in a store.  You could try prismacolor pencils as a good alternative.
