I quite like the Clown ........but the Big Bird

The numbered Cherubs were created for the Danish market where they have some kind of huge significance, totally escapes me what now though

If you NEED a cherub, one without a number should do.

Do you think so Pond? I have the number 11 on it, and for personal reasons I really NEEDED that number......

I just wish they had Trolls holding the numbers instead...
I might get nr 13 soon though as it is my lucky number and in september the number of years my Hubby and I have been together.

It seems like a lot of new beads already being introduced with the world tour. I can't keep up now! Should I be planning a bank heist? Some education, please.

LOL Me too

.... if there will be an extra prison cell, just for TB addicts, i'll gladly join in for robbery...

Well, I hope that the speed of releases (normal collection, LE or World Tour) will slow down a bit, because I have lost track completely, and the more they release, the less I like at the moment (which is ofcourse good for the beadbudget, but still....)

We can all sit in our cell playing with our beads

... and drink some tee, coffee and/or a very good wine and play some more, and swap and trade and make lots of happy faces at all the precious beads

I can't wait for the August release. Its usually on the Monday of my birthday week, couldn't be better timing!

I always anticipate the new releases. The glass seem to have been much better than the new silvers lately though, haven't they? Or... maybe I'm just thinking of the family of kittens and puppies. Way too much going on there!

I always like production releases. There is no rush to buy them.

the family of kittens and puppies freaks me out. too weird looking!

I was told today that the Fall release is on August 27. HTH

What a fiercely addicted lot we TB addicts are. Willing to risk a prison sentence to obtain them, admittance that we would be quite happy in a cell as long as we had them (and our beverage of choice, of course), and wishing our lives would speed up in the anticipation of new releases! Yikes!! I can't wait either!

By the way, it recently occurred to me that I have 3 addictions and that they have something in common:
1.TrollBeads
2.True Blood
3.Tim B (fiance)

27th of August, that is very soon!

People always pay far more attention to negatives than positives. In that release they also produced Spirit of Freedom, Double heart, Cherry Blossom and Shadow Flower.

I agree! I love all of those!

Do you think so? I think it's realistic, dogs and cats come often in big litters.
Anyway: I like both a lot. For every taste is a bead........

Looking forward to this release and hoping that I won't like too many. I only bought the Cherry blossom and the Milky quartz from the spring release as the others were not for me. having said this, there have been previous releases where I have bought more than one glass kit and most of the silvers. I like that there are beads that I don't want to buy, as it gives even production bead bracelets originality from others and I always enjoy looking at the designs people come up with using beads that I wouldn't buy.... it sometimes even makes me change my mind about a bead I don't want As Tinka said "For every taste a bead"
Anyway, I wonder what they'll come up with this time

I think Spirit of Freedom is one of the best Trollbeads ever.

I think the positive and negatives of a release are very personal and cannot be generalized, I'm sure there were people who were thrilled with the Puppies/Kittens, I know one of the staff at my ld was, there was not a single bead glass or silver, that I have bought or will buy from that release, but I am more than happy to admit I have unusual taste

I agree on that!
It is a typical Trollbead design, I love it!

I would wholeheartedly agree on that when I didn't think the eyes so spooky...

I totally agree, I just meant negative in terms of the OPs view. I have never seen a new production release from TB where there was nothing I liked and I think that TB do a really good job of covering all tastes without losing the signature Troll aesthetic. For example I don't like the more cursed silvers but they are still nowhere near as cutsey as some other brands.
