Trollbeads Spring 2013 release details

Hum i am desappointed about the release. At first it is most a summer release than a spring release. Then i am desappointed by the lock and some of the silvers (not enought detailled). The glass kits are not for me either.
Well i need to see it in real.

Thank you Sherlock and Smaug for the sneak peak!

Overall I'm a bit disappointed, but it's also hard to live up to the two previous spring releases that were absolutely gorgeous. I like some of the silvers, but not sure about the glass... The summer kit is a bit too colourful for me and the rocky beach kit not colourful enough. But I also know that they tend to grow on me, especially when I start seeing other people's combinations.

TFS pics Smaug and Sherlock.

My LD confirmed the release date of the 25th for the spring collection, and the beads for Valentine are to follow a week later.

Thank you for the pictures, my favourite is the elderflower bead but I'm not keen on the glass.

House: They invented the 2 part bead and now we will have one in every release? Double Heart, Xmas Tree and now the House? And the breakfast is the same chaos as the transition or puppy beads...
TB dissapoints me more and more with their silvers !

Totally agree! Interested in glass beads though Thank you for sharing pictures Smaug and Sherlock.

Great preview - many thanks for the pics

As an early resume, the new release won't find me at my LD's doorstep on release date.
I may like a very few beads, but in general, these are not what brought me into TB once.
The coral branch is well done, but I won't start a sea themed bracelet just because of that.
Wondering, how Blossom bead will be compared to the gold bouquet bead?
Looking forward to seeing the agate dendritic IRL, although I had preferred a non faceted version.
Agate dendritic is a most fascinating stone, that comes in a large variety.
There may already have been a few in the very first "Jasper" sets 2009.

Thanks for the sneak peak, I had forgotten there was a new release coming up!
I love the new stone, hope they are as lovely IRL. I'm always a sucker for stones
Not sure about the glass, need to see it first.
None of the silvers/ locks will tempt me at all. Actually, just had a second look, the starfish might as long as it's not flimsy.

The stone looks interesting but all the silvers and locks are awful, too blobby. How feeble the Seahorses look compared to Michael Weihes. The glass doesn't inspire me either. Sad times.

Not too impressed tbh.The starfish is quite nice, house looks cool, I like the brown leather bracelet.The agate, well that depends on irl pics I see.Cant say any are going to make me rush out to buy though.Which is just as well!

I like the Agate dendritic, sea urchin, coral and the rocky beach kit. Not keen on the locks and as for the sunglasses????? Can't wait to see it all IRL

Although not all to my taste I would say that there is something for everyone and I'm sure these will appeal to new collectors or tempt others to buy. The locks are too cutesy for me but I'm sure will tempt younger collectors...... So, on my wish list are Agate dendritic, silver sea urchin, silver elderflowers and maybe the sandstone glass and silver starfish. I won't be rushing to buy them as I'd like to see them in real life first.


Thank you to sherlock and Sita for sharing the pics

thankyou for the pictures xxxx I like a few esp the butterfly x wander how it would sit x

I like some silver. Best is the starfish I hope it has detail when it in the ld. I like the rocky beach kit. Also I think the seahorses earrings are better only the cost?

I wunder how you can see a diffrents between blossom bead and berry beads? And the elderflowers is very same as the anniversary and thumbelina beads.

It is all getting a bit girly releases. I like to have some stronger desin beads also and new desins that are diffent to other beads more. It is looking that some of the beads are bein made to replace old desins more with less silver than being fresh desins to me.

Thanks Sita! There are some I like . There is one I really hate: the sunglasses.

Thanks for the pics... have to say this release really isn't doing it for me. I like the agate (this will definitely be one to pick IRL) but nothing else appeals to me except maybe the elderflowers bead (how large is this one?) The silvers don't seem very detailed, they look all shiny and un-Trollish. I like the RBF sea urchin much better. The two glass kits are OK but brown and coral really aren't my colours, so I don't think I will be rushing to buy.

Can't work the butterfly pendant out - how is it meant to hang?

Interesting to see another set of earrings though - I had thought they would retire those as everyone seems to be selling them at hefty discounts...

The house does look like it comes in two pieces that can be separated!

Breakfast makes me feel quite sick.

Why does the Seaman (be careful how you say that) seem to be strangling the Mermaid?

There are in English but maybe not in Danish.

The man having Breakfast with the woman looks terribly depressed. Their relationship is definitely suffering from the look of it.

It may just be the picture, but the man looks to have a cigarette in his mouth!

I'm a little confused as why TB would do a bead about breakfast, plus it does look like someone being sick.. A hangover from the night before?
