The reviews by Joe G? Well, those are the old LTP kits, from when they came with Pro Paint pots. The new ones are revised, and much better instructionwise (which was his biggest complaint, if I recall). Also, the old kits are the ones I have and, somewhat iffy instructions aside, they're still IMO the best, fastest introduction to basic techniques.
The thing I liked about the Learn-to-Paint kits was they are a quick way to get most of what you need (paints, primer, brushes, minis) to get started painting. Once you've done all of them, you have a much better idea of what you like about painting, basic techniques, and an idea of what you want to try next.
