The Vallejo 'Game Colour' - "Have you already got this one yet?"

There seem to hold a maximum of 48 (3 x16) different kinds of Vallejo Game Colour on offer (although I suspect white has been doubled up) in this local shop, note not a specialist Hobby Store, but I am glad that this chain (Boyes, UK) chose to carry this stuff at all, it is a noble service to gamers to find anything of use on the high Street. It looks like your standard display rack and I am pretty sure it is not the "full range" (a quick scan at the Game Colour catalogue reveals 155 colours). Great but my dilemma comes from the fact that I know (or rather think I know) that I don't have them all (yet). But which one am I missing (see below, the treasure chest of "Game Colour"): 


So I always came away thinking - "what did I miss, urgh". So (quite cleverly he says in "cunning plan" mode) I took a photo of the stand and thought I would cross-check when get home! Note to self: I was amazed at "the doubling/tripling up" I had managed to achieve with the "Model Colour" and was keen not to repeat with the "Game Colour"! 

Results to follow and obviously the Vallejo "Model Colour" expansion to this game will obviously come later!

Boyes are a great shop for all a wargamers needs. Just before lock-down they reduced the price of the paint apart form GW, definitely a good shop.

I use a phone app called 'paintRack' which lets you scan barcodes and build a library of what paint you own. I find it useful for just such situations.
