Does anyone know what the next country will be?!?

It's Austria!

Do we know what the next release date is for the Austria beads?

It just says November.

wow..............

I really really love them all!!!!!!!

Austria is the 11th leg of the world tour, which means that our guesses the tour would be longer than just 10 countries were right .

Australia will be part of the World Tour - we thought this year but I guess not .

is there not a kind of TB Convention in Vienna on 19th of November? that could well coincide with the release of the Austria Beads..

Ooh...would love to see Australia on the tour. Do we know if it will be included or not?

I think the WT should just continue on for years...it needs to hit Australia, Russia, Hong Kong, France, Belgium, Korea, and on and on!

Also, I think each state in the USA should get their own TB too. Yeah, I know...will never happen, but I think it would be cool!

That would be neat. I would love in TB would continue like you said. There are so many neat countries out there that deserve to see this...

totally need to include CANADA too!!!

Oh Canada . . . most definitely needs its own beads.

I like the flower blossom but luckily not enough to buy it though I am looking forward to seeing these on combinations. Luckily I have the manga to remind me of Japan.

As for Australia not being on the World tour take comfort that there are the lovely redbalifrog and bower beads which are IMO better value /nicer than Trollbeads anyway. I bought rbf gumleaves from Macrows to remind me of many happy times Down Under , it fits in beautifully with TB and cost considerably less- it puts Tb to shame.

Love the blossom ....i want it
Thanks for showing

It's great to see that they continue being the 10 which they proved with having Austria as the 11th country.
I looked through the list of distributors and they soon have to stop or go through with all of them because it's not nice leaving a very few out in the cold, right?
I really hope they go through with all. Those left are:

* Austria (nov 2011)
* Argentina
* Australia, New Zealand & New Caledonia
* Canada
* Czech Republic
* France & Monaco
* Greece
* Hong Kong
* South Korea
* Spain & Portugal
* United Arab Emirates & Saudi Arabia

That makes 21 'countries' in total! If, if they were to bring out beads for each of these and release one set a month, the world tour wouldn't end before September next year! (Most probably longer as there have been WT 'free' months also in the past year because of other releases.)

Australia will be included, just not this year. I can't see a WT release in December, there is always a Christmas mini-release isn't there?

nice that there will be more countries,
my bracelet is full already...

First of all, a question: Being the nerd that I am I followed "The X-Files" some years back and there was one episode called 'Kitsunegari' which meant 'Foxhunt'. So Is 'Kitsunegirl' 'Foxgirl' ?
So about the bluish bead: Isn't Sakura cherryblossom? To me they look more like chrysanthemums too ! I think they should have done a chrysanthemum bead as there already is the cherry blossom in silver, the cherry blossom tree in the Xmas in Australia, the cherry blossom earring and the Sakura in the Kimono kit...

A chrysanthemum would have been so appropriate to include instead of another cherry blossom. But, I'll have all four.

No, they are cherry blossoms, five-petalled.

Austria is so exciting!! I too wish they would just keep going . . . and going . . .

I wish I could catch up. I'm still missing a lot of countries and I want to do Egypt and New Zealand and, and, and . . . Problem is: there are a finite number of beads but the combinations are infinite! Woe is me.

What about South America?
