Re: I have HUGE news about re-released beads.

Reallohn sad, now I have to spend a lot of money buying old beads with horrible prices from sellers instead of new beads from TB! Doesn't seem to be a good bussiness plan for TB! But who knows 2021 it's their 50th anniversary, perhaps they release a bracelet with oldies them!?

What a pity that the loudly and repeatedly voiced views of the minority have counted for more than the happiness of the majority.

You could decide not to pay stupid prices and enjoy the beads that you already have.

Brightonbelle, you are wright and I do really enjoy the beads I own, I've never played so much with something, before I started collecting! But there is somethimes a fever that get's me and I hoped to get some of the beautifull old beads for a normal price! But things are the way they are!

I wanted a couple of the great old designs like the Crane too and feel a bit disappointed now but that does not mean that I will suddenly forget that they are just fashion beads and start to pay excessive prices to buy them secondhand from dealers.

I was only interested in a few of the classic old beads and I don't feel particularly inspired by the idea of Trollbeads going back to produce a series of new beads that are a bit like them. I am not sure that they would turn out to be very attractive or be popular with the bead buying public in general.

It is, however, time that they corrected the background colour of Antique Flower. They seem to be perfectly capable of producing other green glass beads so they should make this one the proper colour again.

Hope the grumblers are happy now. It does NOT bring me one bit of pleasure to know that I have a crane or any other bead and alot of people want one and can't get one. Am I just stupid here??? What is the satisfaction in knowing that?? I completely do NOT understand people.

Trolldog, you have spoken so well. Thanks.

by Engel Wed Mar 21, 2012 9:10 am

I really hoped there would be a couple more. ot many, but a couple more re releases. maybe you can tell your source about our reaction? hopefully there will be some much beloved beads at accessible prices again this year. Sad

....and NEVER LOOK AT TROLLBEADS AGAIN?

by Joolz Wed Mar 21, 2012 9:29 am

That's a shame, I was looking forward to what they might re-release for everyone to enjoy and hoping for some that I don't have.... I'm disappointed in this decision. I guess maybe the on-line dealers that set up this inflated retired market were not happy about their stock being devalued .... what a shame Evil or Very Mad

Be careful that it is not the same blue as a Trollbead.

Have to go to work. I would go off sick due to my distress over this foul decision but I am not paid for sick leave so I had better not. I hope that the customers will be able to see the tear stains on my face though.

This will only fatten the bank accounts of those who trade on the secondary market. Watch out for $1000 cranes and more fakes on the market.

But who has the ear of Trollbeads HQ to that extent. Are the collectors or the secondary market dealers that close to the top?

In a nutshell, wise words Trolldog. I too buy Trollbeads because I love them but sometimes lately all the 'games' being played by the company are turning me off as is the greed of the few. Something that should give pleasure is being tarnished ( no pun intended) Very Happy

That's such a shame. I can understand why some collectors that paid top dollar for retired beads aren't happy. Personally I'm happy with rereleases. It gives new collectors a chance to buy an old bead and hopefully it will mean prices of retired beads won't go to extreme hights again since they might be rereleased and people aren't prepared to pay so much money for them anymore.

I would have really liked it if they rereleased tulip lock.

I am one who is happy that trollbeads have lisened to have no rerelease beads if this is correct.
It is not for I dont want everyone to have a old bead it is for damage to the progress of trollbeads. I am also hopeing that they will be listen to the others of us who will want more troll style desins back in the collection as well.
I am not happy to pay much moneys for old beads but if I will want it enough I will for that is the market I dont collect my beads for to make money ether.
I am so very happy with this decide and that trollbeads is lisen to what we say even if it is in the future we can get better bead desins from they listen to us.

Thank You Trollbeads. sunny
