Same two beads as me, Pond! I'm excited to have a blue/white bracelet this year. Finally!

me too! I love blue and white!

Thanks Sherlock for the new pics

Blue diamond and red Tigers Eye look interesting. But as always with TB stones it could be hard to find a gorgeous one with flashes.

Thanks for the new pics!

Although I think this will be a cheap round for me, only the mistletoe looks potentially interesting. But that's not a problem at all since my wish-list is still quite long

I read somewhere the blue ones are Hanukah beads. I love anything with glitter and I love stones. I have been really good about not buying beads. Everyone is complaining about the prices and Troll keeps raising them. I think someone is buying them. Their excuse about raising prices was the price of silver. Is the price of glass going up dramatically too?
I am glad I bought my uniques before they raised them up so much.
Thanks for the preview. I can't believe this has been up for 2 weeks already.
I have it on good authority that those glass are price group1. I wrote a new post later on but I edited this post becasue my authority said she was wrong about the price and they are the same as the universal uniques. Like I said people are buying them so they keep raising the price. I haven't bought beads in 8 months except for the baltic amber and swiss ice.

WOOOWW!! I love the red combo!! is gorgeous!! I'm very interested in it!! thank you!!!!!!!

Maybe it has already been answered and I missed it, but it looks to me like the centers are the smaller size. Is that right?

Love the Tiger's Eye! Hope the prices are not too excessive.

Enough with the Teddy bears!!! This is not Pandora!!
I want more scary weird looking beads. Troll is getting too cutesy!!
Still...... love them all

I think the lock is very very Pandora.

i like de blue diamond like! very pretty!!

Have just had another good look and can't say that I am that thrilled by many of the beads. The glass is pretty but it is a shame about the terrifically high prices.

I like 4 bead from the red kit and 2 from the blue
I would have been over the moon if the new diamond bead was midnight blue and we got a proper red one as well...

Can't see to many gold mistletoe beads being sold, but I could be wrong.
Do we really need another Teddybear bead??

how innovative

The red Tigers Eye and the misteltoe Bead are gorgeous!!
Thank you for the photos.

I almost cant wait to see them for real

I will definitely be getting the mistletoe bead and it will be my Rainyday bead... this is almost identical to the one she designed and submitted in one of the design a bead contests ... (I think they like my and RD's designs ... one of mine came in the fall collection, it had just a little tweeking to it)! Oh but they likely had those designs in progress long before ours were submitted. I like the idea of the heart lock (just hope the price isn't astronomical) I think it will look beautiful with the little heart dangle ... as always, I like most of the designs ... but will have to wait to see in real life before I make my decisions ... still loving the blue kit and especially with the diamond bead!!! Can't believe the bead identical to the glitter bead in the red Christmas set sold for 160 US (I think it was 113 Euro) Not going to feel to bad about 258 for 6 now Still I really wish that they would be glass one as I don't think that all the beads in the kit deserve a glass 2 price and also it is so close to Christmas that I think Troll is being pretty stinky to us loyal customers by releasing a LTD kit at this time of year!!! OKAY NOW ... rant over! Peace in Troll Land All

Yay! Another Teddy Bear

Mistletoe is great and so are some of the glass beads. But diamond beads - not for me and a lock with a cutsie heart instead of a bow or flower is so lame! Even more excited about our Dragon lock now !

I'm afraid it even has tacky zirconia crystals on it's tummy, like a real Pandora bead !
Or what are the little round dots in his fur?
And he has gruesome dead eyes popping out of his head !

Perhaps it is Rainyday's design and she just isn't allowed to tell ? They have put People's bead entries into later production before like the Hallelujah!

Well done, they look very promising.. shall look forward to shopping for them ;-)

I don't think the idea of a heart lock is a poor one. I just don't think they executed it with any flair. The heart could have been large and formed the body of the piece and their could have been a good bit more texture like a lacy surface or something.

I suppose that would have entailed more gold and created a higher price but, if you're going to do it, do something worth considering.

Do you think the one they've produced will look more interesting when Valentine's Day comes along?

None of them are really calling to me...the silver mistletoe maybe, depending what price group it's in, but none of the others. The blue diamond bead is a nice addition but personally I've come to the conclusion I don't do bling, so I won't be buying that one, and honestly, couldn't they produce another all-silver lock for those of us who don't have gold-and-silver budgets?
