Re: Trollbeads Christmas Kit 2011 sneak peek

by beadiack Sun Oct 16, 2011 11:49 pm

Probably a stupid question but I wasn't collecting beads last Christmas. Anyway, when they come out with kits like these are they only sold as kits? I'd like individual beads based on my reaction to the photo. And I'd probably like beads from both groups.

From the accompanying promo text I read the beads can be bought individually?

by Blairkj Sun Oct 16, 2011 11:52 pm

They look interesting. I am hoping for a nice glitter bead. Though at glass 2 price they are more expensive. Can't wait to see them IRL. Thanks for the sneak peak.

That's good news Sita--did the text mention a release date?

Think I'm gonna pass on these

Thanks for the sneak peak, they look great and very Christmassy, I love Christmas and hopefully this year I will be able to do a classic red & green bracelet with the help from these new beads!

From speaking to my LD I think the release may well be the 11th Nov. (last year it was the 12th)

Sound great that you can buy individually, not sure I'm a fan of red and green together.
But I would like to have a few red bead as I don't have many. Lets hope they are really red.

I love the glitter beads!

I think I like the red and blue glitters...would love to see another view of the white glitter!! Good work Sherlock!! Very Happy

by Trollsister Mon Oct 17, 2011 1:56 am

Hats off to Sherlock for the scoop, well done! I really like them both:) they remind me of the folklore kit, lots of detail, and the glitter is great for the holidays! Guess I better start saving my pennies Very Happy

everyone is talking about prices...are they supposed to cost more than regular production beads?

by Trollsister Mon Oct 17, 2011 2:32 am

The glass kits are price group 2 (= $ 258,- for the kit) Shocked

by ceruleanbluebird Mon Oct 17, 2011 2:45 am

I think that the Lithuanian WT glass bead could mix well with the red group, maybe. I really really want that bead, but I didn't know how to work it into my collection...until now. I wouldn't be able to buy the kit, but I am sure that I could grab one or two of them.

by trollgirly Mon Oct 17, 2011 2:45 am

so how much is that per bead? $43? i never buy kits...I go to stores and pick out single perfect beads i like?
Why are they glass 2? they look normal

by Silmaril Mon Oct 17, 2011 3:34 am

Glass 2 is $53AUD (about $55US ATM) here, that really is quite a lot. The last Christmas release ended up eventually being sold at 6-for-5 'kit' rates on line anyway. I'm still working on completing my Christmas in Australia kit from last year. Embarassed

Red Hearts and the pretty blue/green one on the bottom right for me!

Are you sure? Hahaha - that is a complete joke. There is nothing special about these sets to warrant the higher price. Good job that I didn't really like them much.

Normal and rather old fashioned normal too - the type of beads that get abandoned in shops and never bought. I wouldn't even pay Glass 1 for some of them.

by chocoholic Mon Oct 17, 2011 8:22 am

They're taking the ****... glass 2??? really? Shocked

They look like glass 1 to me too!

by stines_dk Mon Oct 17, 2011 9:38 am

I love the red ones - not typical christmas with elfs and santa - but the christmas-design shines through Surprised

by matilda Mon Oct 17, 2011 9:52 am

I´m sure - i´ll never buy one of these for price group 2!!! Evil or Very Mad

by TrollRose Mon Oct 17, 2011 10:11 am

very expensive Crying or Very sad

by Dinmi Mon Oct 17, 2011 10:26 am

Agreed, they aren't price group 2 material (not that I think any regular glass without cz is worth that kind of money). Even if I absolutely loved any of these, I wouldn't buy them.
