Yes! A great observation...

Seems odd to me that they are dropping the viking beads, and at the same time they are trying to get men interested in Trollbeads. There are not a whole lot of manly Trollbeads, but the viking beads certainly are.

Oh I see that armadillo back there. The kid collects them all. Too bad she lost a bunch. She really likes green.

Eske Storm is like the rock star of Trollbeads...how can they retire any of his beads...I love them all!

I agree!

I have heard that the bird is a phoenix, but do not take that for gospel...

Someone said there is a creme armadillo in addtion to the seagrass one. Not in the pic posted here. Also other cremes. Yes it is reported that the bird is a phoenix.

The phoenix sounds intriguing! I wonder how many people will buy it because they love it and how many people will buy it in hopes that it will go insane like the crane?
I'm a big fan of birds so I can't wait to see this bead in detail!

I'm pretty excited about all of the flower glass beads too!

I will probably end up with a couple of Dillos, and a pheonix, just because that bird will go with my Asian themed bracelets. I have the decoritive bird and really like the shape and how if sort of wraps up agains a blass bead. The rabbit looks like it will be a similar shape but don't know that I am sold on it yet.

Thanks for the preview! Very exciting to get a sneak peek! I think I will have to reserve my final judgment until I see them irl!

Looks like a lot of glass that we've seen before. We'll see.

Thanks for the preview !

Didn't think to check the first page, but now that i saw the drops, I really like them. How much will they be in US$? Also, the light green flower drop, looks like the Austria WT glass bead, like the exact same thing...but I like it. I like the green tones. The bunny is cute, but looks scared that it has a hole through its back lol.

I don't know why they are releasing more agates when the last release, they barely sold ( at least for my LD). Although black and white may do better because its a more neutral color.

I wish I could see the barrel beads more up close.

I like how they are releasing the ruby with a silver core, that is a good move because the gold core is obviously going to be out of reach in 2 weeks.

I hate the price increase, but I guess it will make me more choosy with my purchases.....

I am intrigued by this release want to check out the barrels sieve the bunny could be cute and the onyx look very pretty and versatile.hmmmm this could mean divorce for me if hubby finds out!

The Pink and Blue Agates weren't my favorites but I am quite excited about these Black and White Ones...hope they will be really nice!

Are they agates or onyx? Onyx wouldn't be dyed, right?

Agates, aren't they? I don't really know about the dying...the pink and blue ones are dyed, right? Like the China Jades are?

As far as I have heard they are Onyx, striped Onyx.

Then, they will be perfect, I'd say...LOVE anything with onyx!

thank you!!! I would love to see them irl, but I bet they are going to be really expensive.

So there is 2 rabbits beads in one release. It is ok if you like rabbits I will like baby dragons better.

oo I dont think I like these rabbits!!!! why cant they just make a normal rabbit with nice detail x

This time no teddy's but rabbits

Another rabbit! Not for me this one, I can't wait to see the bird though! Please let it be a Phoenix and I am dying to see the other glass!

Thanks for sharing Smaug x
