My boyfriend was after a sprite image of Link & Mega man for a new pixel tattoo for both his wrists, and I came across you guys 
I cant believe how talented you guys are, so who knows where to get the best variety of beads from?

I looked on the Perler site as there're better colour selection but shipping to Uk is £9.20, last night the total was £14, with just 3 colours (1000 each)
Im gonna try toysRus today for a tester at them, rather buying loads & finding out that im crap at the ironing bit.

Hi, I'm quite new here myself. Welcome!
There are many places you can order Perler/Hama beads online, but I actually got my first batch at AC Moore. I have no idea if they're located all over or not, but I was able to print out a 50% off any item coupon on their website. Using that, I was able to get a tub of 22,000 beads for about $9.00. Even better, I was with someone, so they used another coupon to purchase a kit that was supposed to be used for making pirate-themed stuff. Either way, it had 5,000 beads and a pegboard, which I got for around $6.00.
Unfortunately, sorting through all these beads is a royal pain in the butt, and is certainly an exercise in patience. Couldn't beat the price, though.

Yeah, I think I may wind up doing the same once I get this tub sorted out and I realize what I actually need. Figure I might get some Hama beads, too.
