Trollbeads will release limited edition Chinese Zodiac beads

Oh Tree, I'm so excited for you! You must take HUGE pics for us to see!

I wish I could do a whole set in one go, but piggy bank is very lean right now. LOL...

Kitsunegrl, that is what God made Pandora for, something to sell to buy more Trollbeads! I am feeling a little shell shocked at selling off most of mine today, and I am thinking about listing those rare and hard to find ones on evil bay this weekend. I will post lots of pics of the new beads, I just hope they get here this weekend while I have light because my camera with a flash is just a disaster.
Looks like they are getting terrible reviews, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Do we know who designed these? I wonder why they didn't seem to put more "effort" into them. I hope Troll isn't to the point where they can put out anything, call it a "special edition", slap on a high price tag and expect it to sell...

They are smaller, less details and very very expensive.........but I still want my sign and the one from my boyfriend; horse and tiger!!!! Hihi

umm....I will pass on them

I think I'll have a look at the Dragon IRL. If he's nice I might buy him because it's such a typical Asian symbol and it's the year of the Dragon. I don't want Eeeyore as my zodiac
And I still have a 10 EUR coupon from TB which will make him a little more affordable ...

Oh dear... this really made me laugh Definitely more of a scream bead, they don't look at all like monkeys

I can't work the horse out at all looks very confusing and nothing remotely like a horse .... so I think I'll pass on these and save my money.

I'm going tomorrow,my LD called me yesterday to tell me she will have some of them....
she did not order all,she is scared to stay stuck with them,
will find out which ones she has and see if they are nice....

YAY

My LD was told that she couldn't order any in as they had all been already allocated to other dealers & had none left! It appears these little fellows will also be very limited!

here you can see the difference in size

It almost looks like another kind of silver to me on these photos

it is. It's the new expensive silver!

the silver is mixed with gold dust and crushed diamonds, creating a far superior product.

hahaahah that explains the price they are soooooo expensive!! I have a coupon from that jeweler otherwise I would NOT have bought them, but I'm a sucker for zodiac signs I guess I love getting beads that remind me of family members

I have been looking for a and m in the old letters for my kids but no dice!

Thank you for showing fairy3, they still look great to me!
I have three reserved without seeing them, but I do think I'm gonna love them especially since they represent two of my cats and my youngest nephew

I LOVE Eeyore, but he's a donkey, not a Fire Horse !!!

So which one did you get, Soxfan?

a but the horse looked like a horse!! at least that one I could make out really easily!
and the rat looks nice!!
I have the pig I think one pig looks more than a pig than the one shown on the stock foto, and I have the rabbit that looks more like a kangaroo in a weird way to me but that may also be because that is one of my favorite animals
