Enjoy your new refrigerator. It's so much fun to fill up a brand new one for the very first time, huh? Your talking about them jogged my memory of my very FIRST one...it was PINK with copper shelves. It was so adorable. Can't remember the brand, think it might have been G.E.
Sanford discontinued the waterbased poster paint pens a couple of years ago.
In 2010, Michaels was given an exclusive test run of the "new" (not really, they just took the word poster from the name) pens and called them paint pens. The pens are (or were) in a trial run last year. Depending upon how well they sold, Sanford would continue making them.
At the same time, you could still find poster paint pens (in a variety of colors and tip sizes) in various locations as Sanford made hundreds of thousands of them.
My guess is that they sold well enough at Michaels but only in the fine and medium tip points, so Sanford has discontinued extra fine along with certain colors. Sad.
Posca pens are the same as Sanford and in extra fine and similar colors to what Sanford is no longer making.
All that said, you will probably be able to find them at Michaels and other locations until they sell out. After that, you will only see them in select sizes and colors.
I do NOT recommend stocking up on the white. It is the only pen where the ink separates and does funky things.
I only buy water based. I do not like oil based products. :)
