Re: Trollbeads Christmas Kit 2011 sneak peek

Pity about another bear. I do like 3 beads out of each kit, the rest I don't find particularly interesting.

Love the blue diamondlike!

Wasn’t there a bear in the last release??
They are also releasing a Universal Black and Universal White diamond bead.....

I agree, I can not understand why on earth they would release another teddy bear bead! I have to admit though, I am glad that I do not love the beads in this release. There are still several beads from the fall release that I want to get and my wish list can not stand to have any more beads added to it. The only bead that I really want to see is the red tiger eye, now that sounds interesting...

I am beginning to think the bear thing may be part of that plan that was discussed on Trollbeads Gallery Forum for luring in a younger market.

Are the reds red, or orange ?

I really want to know that too and if they are red are they pink/purple toned or orange toned?

by Ellie Rob Tue Nov 08, 2011 8:21 am

The glass are actually £39. The reds really vary, of the kit I saw one of them had a slight purple tinge to it and a couple were slightly orangey red.

That is not what the people that I buy from have told me Ellie. I have been quoted £35. Please could you double check the price.

by Ellie Rob Tue Nov 08, 2011 9:23 am

I got that straight from the Trollbead rep, I said £35 and she looked in her book and she said no it was £39, she says it was due to the exquisite work that goes into them. Unless your ld has assumed they are £35, we can only find out for definate on Friday

by Brightonbelle Tue Nov 08, 2011 9:24 am

Exquisite work - what a joke! The comments that I am hearing are that the glass beads are dreadful and the shops are afraid that they won't be able to sell any of them.

by Amanda Mac (Dot) Tue Nov 08, 2011 9:36 am

I am reserving judgement until I see them IRL. (I didn't think I would like any of the LE gemstones from TB's photos and then I bought lots! They need to get better photographers.) I think the blue diamond looks promising for winter themes and the mistletoe sounds really wonderful. I can do without turkey bears through - he looks really similar to the last one. Some of the glass looks promising too although I won't be buying them if they are that pricey - would rather catch up up production at £26. Anyway - not long to wait!!! Very Happy

Oh God.

Isn't this the retailer that tb asks for "opinions" on what to do? on occasion?

by soxfan Tue Nov 08, 2011 1:58 pm

oh wait, it was discussed on the forum, my bad. I read it like that was the plan of tg. sorry. Embarassed

by Michelle Tue Nov 08, 2011 2:17 pm

I am sad for the prices and now I will not be able to afford them.

Dear Trollbeads if you need to go to a younger market make more affordible beads and may be some more silver dangle ones.

by Brightonbelle Tue Nov 08, 2011 3:33 pm

The beads in the sets of 6 are £35 per bead in the UK and the Mistletoe beads is £42.

by Joolz Tue Nov 08, 2011 3:45 pm

Thanks BB

The mistletoe is the only one on my list to buy.

Sets of glass - £35 each bead
Mistletoe - £42
Teddy - £42
Blue Diamond - £53
Red Tiger Eye - £53

Not sure about lock because the computer of the person telling me froze just at that point - maybe £279?

She also mentioned large cored Black and White Diamonds.

by Anita Tue Nov 08, 2011 4:33 pm

I definately won't need any of these except, maybe, the Red Tiger Eye.

Indeed those have been confirmed. The diamond beads will (also) be produced with large cores.
