Really? I hope so.  
When?

Not sure of the date.

Is there prices for any beads about?

Glass $31, Faceted $43 silvers vary in the $50s USD

I have seen the new X by Trollbeads bracelet but i don´t think that it is so much new looks like any link bracelet from other brands

but it certainly is much more secret... there seems to be a pic on FB, but I am not on FB...

Can you describe it any more? Is it metal, leather? Colors? How would a charm be placed on it?

I didn't care for it at all. It's bulky and just not my style.

I am not that keen on how it looks in the pic either.

Didn't look very inspired to me, I'll be interested to see what's so new and unique about it

Black rubber, silver, gold? - just links, no charms.
Photo is a bit out of focus so can't see much detail.
Looks very dull though.

Each link has a tiny slit opening which allows connection with each other. Think link chain puzzles. Rubber to begin, which is the least expensive. The whole bracelet can be rubber or mixed with silver/gold; all of each or you decide.

Prices per link?

Just got back from my tb dealer, they had half of the new release already I've seen almost every glass bead ( some of the purple kit were a little bit disappointing ), the glass beads with the "leaves" were really cute, the silver flower beads were amaaaaziiiiing! I've also seen a very pretty example of the sapphire, the engraved flower beads were ok, pretty dark so you can't see the flowers very well. Didn't see the locks or the rest of the silvers, I do have the new book and the baby carriage looks weird on a bracelet to me...it is in an angle.

I didn't see the faceted aurora either. The moonlight bubbles bead was my favorite out of the purple aurora kit, but I want more of a blue example, this one was really purple. The aurora stripes had some sort of metallic in it, that was a bit odd...not really my cup of tea. Most of the beads on this kit weren't stunning examples so I didn't buy any. Was tempted to bring home the orange bead with the leaves and black dots but want to see others first.

There were some great beads My favorite silver was the july flower and glass the orange + the moonlight bubbles

I think my wallet is safe from X. Rubber links sound cheap and nasty, but I wouldn't want to risk silver or gold links if they just snap together. I suppose there will be charms to hang from this chain? More opportnities to revisit hearts, teddies and flowers!

From initial reports this concept is totally unappealing. Gimmicky, and aimed at who exactly?

What I ment by the carriage looking a bit weird on the bracelet...especially on the bottom one  
 

Thanks for the reviews and pictures, Madelonnetje. I can see what you mean about the baby carriage, the poor wee baby would fall out.

It is nice to know that there are some pretty examples of the Sapphire about.

Oh dear. I didn't want the baby carriage anyway but it's definitely one of those things that has to be right side up.  

Thanks for the new info in any case!

Can anyone post the link to the X by trollbeads bracelet on Fb or PM it to me please?

I think that it has been removed and only exists as ghostly versions.  I am not one of the people who saved it at the beginning so don't feel that I should share it.

I really, REALLY must have the Skeleton Spirit...but not sure about the others.

I am worried that the Skellie will hang bum upwards and remind me of a half eaten roast quail?
