Thanks everyone for the advice!

I'll check out those stores.

Man, I'm new to this whole cel collecting thing, 
but I didn't realize there's so much passion 
against reproduction cel makers (which is NOT 
something I'm trying to be).  There must have 
been some pretty bad apples to get everyone so 
worked up.

I'm an aspiring mangaka who also likes doing 
crafts for my own enjoyment, so drawing technique 
is not an issue.  I also do fine scale modeling 
(military, mechas and figures), which is where I 
get my anal attitude about being "realistic" and 
therefore wanting to have exact color matching.

But for those that are worried, rest assured.  
Although people have asked me to sell my various 
crafts, I spend way too much time on them to make 
it worthwhile to sell them...  I like to make 
them so that I can display them and admire my 
creations.  ;)

Making reproductions doesn't interest me.  In 
fine scale modeling, it's all about how 
accurately you can reproduce the original, but if 
it's about cels, as an artist I have no interest 
in mocking another work of art.  I want to make 
some original compositions that aren't out there, 
of shows that I liked as a kid, using the exact 
same colors for "realism".

Haruna mentioned something interesting though, 
saying that the studios' paints actually don't 
last, so I'll try going with the other brands 
listed.  I'm still going to be picky about color 
accuracy though, but not for the reasons 
of "ripping people off".

Again, thanks for all the advice, and hopefully 
I'll have something to show some day.
