If only they would release more teddy bears, then I would find it so easy to stay on the wagon.

And I'm not in love with the heart lock either. What happened to a new trollish lock? Thank goodness BT is doing the Dragon lock!

Thank you for the pictures! I'll look forward to seeing them in person- espeically the Mistletoe.

thanks for another great sneak peek! i like the mistletoe idea, can't wait to see it in person. but what' up with ANOTHER teddy bear? i mean i like them and all but someone must have a real affinity for them! love the blue diamond and i'm going to have to see the red tigers eye IRL as the blue one really didn't do a thing for me...

I want both of those sets but I will have to get a job first!!

I like the mistletoe a lot; it actually looks like a bead that can be year round. We have mistletoe all around here.

I actually like the heart lock; very simple and sweet.

The lock and the blue diamond are pictured in the new trollbeads calendar..so it seems that they let the cat out of the bag on this one!!!!!

Thanks Sherlock for finding & Sita for placing!

I think I like the mistletoe

I seeing the beads before the official release. Thank you.
A new diamond bead! I'm curious how the colour looks IRL.
Also like the mistletoe beads, although I would prefered this one in silver/gold!

Wow, thanks for the incentive to starting saving even more for this release! The mistletoe looks like a must, along with at least one of the glitter beads (will the red be a shade of orange?). Will have to see the red tiger eye IRL. No hearts or teddy bears for me, which is a good thing since BT's dragon lock is around the corner too.

Thanks so much for the sneak peek.I like the mistletoe and agree it looks like a bead you can wear all year. I am sure if I see these my opinion will change but so far nothing really grabs me. This is good for my wallet and means I will focus on getting beads from earlier collections that are on my wishlist.

We are having a winter snowstorm here in PA right now on October 29???? I'm looking at snow falling and all the beautiful Christmas beads!!!! I'm in trouble!!!!!!

Uh-oh, I thought I was safe with the the Christmas release but I need a mistletoe bead!

Be glad! You'll have lots more TB$ for a while until the grandkids come! Right now I have a closet full of toys Alex can't enjoy until he's 3. And I can't find my way through a store without getting him some adorable tiny outfit or an interesting toy. Meanwhile, our dog is playing with the same grubby toys she's had for a year. ...so long as we can figure out where Alex hides them.

Funny, I was just looking at toys for the grandkids for Xmas (Rubber Bones), they don't make rubber Trollbeads...........yet!

Oh, but there are almost enough teddy bears to fill a bracelet for them. No excuses.

Wow! Thanks for the new pics!!
Love the mistletoe bead and the red and green glass!

I will have to go see these IRL. The lock is very sweet

I like a lot of the glass, but glass 2 price? ridiculous. I will probably get the mistletoe. Seriously disappointed with the unimaginative lock. Really, with all the talented designers out there, they slap a gold heart ($$$ I'm sure) on a plain old lock and are happy with that. If they wanted to do a heart, I'm sure a hundred designers could have come up with something gorgeous and trollish.

Propably I´ll buy the misteltoe, but must see it IRL first. Thank god, I don´t like the rest of this edition
Especially the teddy and the lock are really lacking in ideas.

I think this will be an amazing collection....but r the beads large cores is that why they are at the glass 2 price?

I am very excited about the blue diamond it will look so pretty with iceblue colors!!

Also really wish the lock wasn't gold and silver bc its gonna be very pricey obviously. I think ill like the bear hopefully he wont look like another turkey.turkey

What's up with all the teddy bears lately??

Does he look like he has crystals set in his tummy to you ? or does he just have spots ?

Oh! What fun to wake up to all these new Christmas pictures/revelations! Love it!

As for the beads, I really think I like the mistletoe a lot and I hope that next year some holly will follow it. Of the glass beads I know I will have to have the one with the white flowers with red centers. So Christmasy! (I'm also thinking about one of the Christmas green dillos that Kathy Perras has up on her site.)

Maybe 1 or 2 of the blue ones will catch my eye when I can actually see them. I must say, tho, that I find the blue bracelet they feature really attractive. Much more so than I saw in my mind's eye when I first saw the pic of the blue kit. It looks just completely elegant and wintery and every bit as Christmasy as the red one tho I'm sure people who don't celebrate Christmas will be glad to express the blue beads as Hanukkah or simply "winter". Right, Australia?

The clasp is rather uninspired. A holly bough could have been so much more interesting.

Still, I don't resent any of the things that aren't appealing to me. I should be grateful for them. And, I suppose, everyone will have a different idea of which things those are.

So anxious to see them in person. Soon!

I the blue diamond bead!!! but why is there a second teddy bear??? I like the hugging bear better.

There are some really nice ones... need a longer sheet of paper for my Xmas wishlist...

I really like the blue diamond, so will probably get that one. I'd like to see the mistletoe IRL first.

Thanks to those who have helped to get this information to us so early.

The silver mistletoe sounds promising and the blue diamond looks lovely too. i'll be passing on the others.
