World Tour UK - pictures added

There will be (at least) one EU dealer who will have these UK beads for sale soon... when we know, you'll know...

Oh I like the teaparty

Me too! I LOVE it!

I do like all the silvers, but I'm having trouble wrapping my eyes around the spoons and seeing them as spoons...I think I'd need to see them in person.

Thank you so much for posting these!

Steffans have them up for sale. Couldn't see any information about not shipping abroad?

I took the bull by the horns and e-mailed the UK distributor (Fable) about shipping the UK World Tour beads elsewhere. My specific question was about shipping overseas and I indicated that I am from Canada. The reply was that I can " purchase the UK World Tour beads from any UK retailer that sells online".

For those that are ordering, you might want to check out Macrows. Their "computer issues" seem to be continuing if you login and as of today are affecting the World Tour beads. The silver ones are under Silver and Gold TrollBeads--New Silver Beads and the glass under Glass TrollBeads--New Glass Beads. I have no affiliation and unfortunately I ordered my bead yesterday. And yes I have sent an e-mail.

I ordered the Love Spoons bead yesterday. In large part because of some of the great photos pictured here. Thank you to those that posted the pictures. It was so nice to be able to see all the symbols on that bead. It will go on my bracelet to celebrate my 25th anniversary in June. I figure that my DH and I are good to go for at least 2.5 more months, so purchased now.

Sure you will be good for the next 2,5 months!! Just go for it!

Thanks for informing about delivery abroad. I've understood from Acotis and Joshua that they will send them also abroad.

Thanks so much for this info - I ordered from them and used PayPal and everything looks OK - Plus I was able to order some Red Bali Frog beads at the same time. YEA!

How much cheaper are the beads at Macrow? I am still only seeing a discount on the OOAKs.

Significant in my books. I did not pay attention to all of the beads closely and I am in Canada so beads are priced without VAT. On Love Spoons the difference was about 5 pounds less today compared to yesterday.

I believe the "computer issues" at Macrows are happening for UK customers as well as I saw some cryptic comments on another forum by a UK customer about pricing of the UK World Tour beads.

Acotis, Macrows and Steffans will ship to Canada/US, just for different sums of money.

I have decided that I HAVE to have the whole set. Haven't told DH yet. Oh well. My only problem is waiting for two weeks as I am broke until then.

Oh dear, I'm trying to cool down my Trollbead greed, but posts like yours don't help. I too am waiting for two weeks for my salary but I did ask a friend to bring me the kilt! It's tiny, so it doesn't really count...

oooh i think i might need to get the kilt...will have to wait until i see all the beads irl before i make my final decision!

The Kilt is very pretty, with nice details, but it is quite a small bead.

At this very moment, my friend T. is cycling to my house, to bring me the kilt which she bought for me when she was in the UK last week. Ten minutes to wait and see if it's really that small.... Can't wait!

You're not excited then?! Hope you like it.

I've got! It's really lovely. It's small, very dainty.

I ordered the love spoon but only get mail once a week where I live, so there will be some more waiting involved. Luckily the spoon is not alone on its travel, so it will be in good company - and it is not as if my bracelet had any empty space on it They really are dangerous, multiplying a bit like Tribbles only without the fur
