They said that about the re-released Joyful. I expect that it means that they will try to order enough beads for everyone on the list?

Have you seen the peacock feathers ooak ?

I wonder, if the design will be part of the people's bead collection as there was a peacock feathers entrie amongst the finalists.

I've seen a couple of them pop up during beadparties, it is a cute bead

Lovely thing!

Fleur, I hope the peacock ooak is a try-out for the peoplesbeadentry, which was lovely! I've seen it and I wish I could lay my hands on this ooak!

Does anyone think skeleton spirit will spin or flip upside down on a silver bracelet?

Probably. Now I'm thinking about his bony butt constantly mooning the world.

 

So another heart. I finally saw it.
Has anyone ever put together a heart-themed TB bracelet?
I guess we can now.

Wow, the new beads are beautiful. I love the flowers with pearls. Thanks for the sneak peek and heads up on the release dates:D  

I was told yesterday by a dealer that the faceted Aurora was coming only with a bangle. However, they have got things wrong before, so I am not sure.

I think it may look too busy with the facets and the bubbles, but will reserve judgement until I see it IRL.

Sure hope they're wrong. I already couldn't get the first aurora because of the bangle-set

I was furious the first time and I will react very badly again if that turns out to be so. In fact, I am going to wait before buying any of the glass beads that match it until I find out. I might also decide that this is the moment to give up buying Trollbeads altogether. It would be one stab in the back too many for me.

As I said, this particular dealer has certainly got things wrong before (many trollies know more than their dealers!), and I wonder whether they have got muddled up with the old Aurora set? I wouldn't put it past them. I pass it on as a piece of information for what it is worth, but I am personally taking it with a fairly large pinch of salt.

If it turns out to be true, I won't be bothering to buy either. I   my bangle but don't need another.

You think trollbeads will be that stupid? That know we have back lash befor on the first aurora you think they will try this trick again?
I hop not.  
Any we will wait for retailers to say no also to this idea.

I would hope that you are right, Michelle.  There was already a lot of discontent about the Aurora being limited to the bangle set.  If they try the same thing with this one, they will have an uproar on their hands.  When I first saw the picture, I was thinking perhaps that was their way of making up to everyone who couldn't get the Aurora because of the price of the set.  I guess we'll find out eventually if they are savvy enough to realize what a customer relations nightmare that would be.  And really, how many bangles do they think everyone needs?  The whole point of the bangle is to use it to show off a few beads or put together a quick combo.  It's not like anyone keeps permanent combos together on a bangle that would require multiple bangles to be purchased by any one person.

If they release the faceted aurora with a bangle I'm going to be really mad...it is already annoying enough you have to buy the bangle to get the aurora, especially if you want multiples or have a bangle already. I just hope they will add it to the regular collection because I'm getting tired of so many limited editions and ooaks half of them don't even end up with the real collectors they just end up being sold for 2 twice as much ( or more )

Oh and I wouldnt be suprised if they released the faceted aurora on a gold bangle or something lol

O that is ok then....I dont have a ..gold...bangle  
     

I have got to the stage when I really don't care, I think it has finally sunk in that Troll is a large company and they don't give a toss about their customers. I'll buy the products I like and won't buy the cutesy ones or the things they make it impossible for me to get hold of

I more-or-less agree although I do think they care up to a point. I can't see them re-releasing another Joyful for example, in response to the fury of collectors when that happened. But I think they balance possibly annoying hard-line collectors against their likely sales - and I bet the original Aurora shifted loads of bangles. I think that although we trollies may seem like a big community, perhaps we don't count for as much as we think in sales - therefore it is perhaps worth having an "uproar" from the trollie community if the product sells well worldwide.

Anyway, we'll see soon enough how they intend to release this bead!

It will be hard to buy the things they make impossible to get hold of any way.  
I have know of this for a long time.

After some time the bead that you think I must have then dont get is passed and some other comes about. I to think that if I dont get in a good price I wait for something other no worrying of it.
Also some I think they lisen to much to try to please so there is to many opinions
