Trollbeads Spring 2013 release details

I like the coral branch and maybe dolphin beads. The rest are uninspiring, although the urchin has potential. The relationship beads and sunglasses are gross. Apparently, there ARE worse things than bunnies and teddy bears.

The locks look hurried and not detailed much.

Reserving opinions on glass.
Thanks for the sneak peak!

The only one I am interested in is the new stone bead. That looks great. Now I can get a couple Hobbit beads and Faery's beads that I have been wanting.
TB is losing me with all the theme beads.
Thanks for the sneak peak.

Those leathers looked glued together. I don't think they will be durable.

That concerns me, too, kitsunegirl. I had a two-layered leather bracelet that didn't last a month before delaminating. But that was a bracelet for a charitable cause, so may have been made cheaply. Let's hope they have figured out how to make these to withstand the twisting and stretching and mauling by beads.

I am excited to see the new stone, hopefully there will be nice examples available. The Rocky Beach kit and possibly the red stripy bead are the only other beads that interests me. I am disappointed with this release, I agree with whoever called them gross...sunglasses and horrible locks...yuck. I actually thought the seahorse lock was a giraffe, it might look better that way My honest first reaction was

Looks great ... I can't wait to see them all IRL, I for sure love the look of the seahorse lock

Anyone know what the big butterfly is? I can no tell ...

Hmm well I think they did well to capture the feel of summer with this release. I like that the rocky beach kit has glass designs that we've not seen before. The happy summer kit looks like a re-tread of same old patterns. I'm disappointed with the cutesy locks but I do like some of the silvers. I look forward to seeing the prices.

Does anyone else think that it is a Mermaid in the Holding on to Love and the Breakfast beads too?

No I guess it isn't (hard to tell though)!

I love the rocky beach kit and the leathers look really nice.

Thank you Smaug for the photos and info! The releases seem to be getting larger with every passing year! Really like the Rocky Beach and the new stone but not sure if I will spend the money to buy them right now .... of course that will probably change the minute I see them IRL!

Well I must say....I'm pretty excited!!!! Love the new locks and the Rocky Beach kit, maybe I'm gonna buy the whole kit (that would be my first time buying a kit )

The butterlfy seems to be a pendant. I believe that is the first pendant from trollbeads... That will be a must have for me...

I like the coral branch and the rocky beach kit.Can't wait to see them irl.

seaurchin was my idea at the peoplesbead.. and who needs a sunglass bead??

I like the rocky beach kit

I love some of them... but are also disappointed that some designs are so simple...

I love the rocky beach kit, I like to see a kit that goes so well together. I also like the beige moonstone from the other kit too.

Thanks for the peek Smaug and Sherlock!

I like the seahorse lock and the rocky beach kit - and the coral branch I think ....

Do we think the rocky beach will match with the Christmas LE in grey and gold?

The coral colours in the other glass kit look appealing too, but I just like those colours - specially with blue

And i can't afford any of it, but I can look and have an opinion anyway!

I love some of the Rocky Beach kit and the Dendritic Agate.

I don't like the design of most of the silvers. They look as if they have been aimed at little girls. I might end up with some of the less cutesy ones - Coral etc.

Yes that one looks nice.

Let me just say I am so very glad that I ordered the old version of the dolphin bead this week. I need to see the new ones up close, but I have a feeling that I made the right choice.
I have this thing about dolphins ... but these look too cute and girly even for my taste.

Thank you so much for the sneek peak !!!!

There are several lovely designs in this release that speak to me. I have this beautiful beach themed bracelet with my lovely fishy and turtle and they cannot wait to be let out when it gets warmer and maybe get their own coral so swim through
For now I love the elder flowers most (especially the splitter) as elder is one of my most beloved plants. I love the berries and Holunderlimonade (made from the flowers) is one of my favourite drinks

Love the look of the rocky beach kit, looks like it will go with the Christmas kit and hopefully will be the standard glass price Not keen on the colours in the summer kit. Couple of the silvers I like, loving the blossom bead and the swarm of butterflies, not sure of the locks and the stone agate looks gorgeous!!, I'm sure going to have to start saving!

Nothing really jumps out for me.
Coral,Starfish probably will "cling" nice on the bracelet,the Agate Dendritic...uuuhmmm maybe
some in the Rocky Beach Kit ? meh...
see them IRL first.

Thank you Smaug for the sneak peak !!!!
