Trollbeads Limited Edition Kimono Beads - new pictures!

Friday here in Oz.....my biggest worry is do I need more than one set....oh and where do I find the money!!!!!

I was so looking forward to this collection, but none of my bead color match. Japan is full of colors and the beads are sad.

As an experiment I phoned 3 UK dealers. My local shop and one of the major websites had not heard anything about the beads. Another major website had only heard via the grapevine and was trying to find out how I knew (I didn't tell him). Not very impressed and do not intend to pursue the matter further.

Good Lord....they are already up for sale on the auction site...........

what..... you're kidding!
which site
this site??

And likely retracted...

They are sold, all 3 of them.

Thanks for the peek at these beads. I want to see them in person. The colors look different maybe because they have a matte finish. I'm not sure they will fit in.

Yes did not take long and were BIN....average price tho....

I want the red one.

I want to buy the whole set. I'm just afraid I won't be able to find it at a LD...

I'm sure the online shops will have some, the early bird gets the worm.... Or maybe call around to other shops within your area.

Well, I rang my LD today, who hadn't heard of them, but that's not unusual as they usually just get LE kits and even regular releases sent out automatically.

Anyway, they rang their rep to check, who said that nobody was supposed to know about them for weeks yet (?!) but that they should expect them by the end of the week. Anyway my LD is going to ring me when they're in and keep me a set so I can have a look (this suggests to me they are expecting 2 sets, which is usually the case with any new beads they get sent).

So now I'm quite excited...!!

i'm keeping all my fingers and toes crossed my LD has them in this weekend- i really would like the red and white one

These are lovely! They are such a diversion from the regular line...kind of have a clay look about them don't they?

I like them and want to get a set. I like the designs and am excited about he matte finish.

i chedked with my LD and they advised they would have no problem in getting them although no information would be released until friday i think they said it would be roughly £160.

Does anyone know, how many sets will be available in total?

I don't want to start a rush or spread any bad rumours, but my LD told me, that there might be only 2000 sets. That isn't much.
Well, she also said, that she didn't know for sure.....

I don't know how many sets are distributed around the world, love to find out but Trollbeads tend not to publish that kind of information....

I spoke to one of the Aussie on-line dealers, and she was told that there were 200 sets for Australia (she was only allocated 4 sets), but I don't know any more than that.

Yes, I have also heard that 200 kits are available here in Australia.
Depending on world wide demand, they might be able to get more later, that has happened before with other LE.

So Glad I have placed my order...and it has been confirmed.....as I think these beads look great...a different look for trollbeads.....so have to have....

how do you see the pics of the new beads?

You and me both, Les. I think these beads are TDF, I really do, and can't wait to see IRL.
