Retiring 2012 Silvers - Which ones are your favourites?

Would love some opinions please. There are numerous silver beads retiring late January and I'm undecided as to which ones I should try to get before local stockists run out but more importantly, secure before the upcoming price increase.

I bought Unity the other day but not sure what others I should perhaps add to my collection, maybe Jugend? I would appreciate any opinions.

Sandi ,is a very nice small one!!

sandi is the one I'm going to get first xxx

Jugend silver is NOT retiring; just the gold, right?

Sandi, Fabled Faces, Etruscan, neither fish nor fowl, bird

Oops and yes, you are correct. Sorry for any confusion.

Retirements are Sandi, Bird, Angles Triangles, Etruscan, Neither Fish nor Bird, Unity, Fables Faces, Mouse on Cheese, Viking, Shortcut, Jellyfish, Baby, Magician, Circus Elephant, Snowman, Walk, Find your Pet, Transition Man, Transition Woman.

Is there a link to what's retiring anywhere?

Isn't the midgard serpent retiring also?
Also which glass ones?

etruscan. I am getting a second one.

Me too. I didn't think much of this bead until I bought one.

Angles Triangles is a great small bead which goes with most combinations. Likewise Sandi, although I haven't got that one (yet!)

I love my Shortcut, it is a great abstract pattern and I think it looks like a stylised moon.

Fabled Faces and Viking are must haves if you are into Eske Storm or the viking style beads.

I don't have Jellyfish but am tempted to get it before it becomes too rare, as I often do sea themed bracelets.

No Jugend is not retiring but the price is going up:( I want another etruscan too. Just not sure when I am going to be able to get one.

viking, circus elephant, neither fish nor foe, mouse on cheese, fabled faces, snowman, angles triangles and magician.

Funny how you like beads and always put off buying them or seconds of them,cause
you think they will always be there.
Eskes beads
Etruscan
Shortcut
Angles Triangles
Of corse I won't be buying them but I would like tool

I'm getting a jellyfish for my seaside bracelets

Etruscan and Sandi are these silvers I'll miss the most...but I guess if I get them now , I won't have to miss them at all!

I love Neither FNF (Big). I am not sure if I am going to get the small version, but it is a great design.

I want Etruscan, Fabled Faces, Walk, and Viking.

Sandi... a lovely little bead and I'm sure I could use multiples of that. I'm sad the Viking bead is retiring too, but I'm not sure I need a second one. Some of the higher price group ones I won't miss at all!

I've ordered my Jellyfish!!!!!!

I'm considering getting two Viking beads. Has anyone used them as spacers on a necklace?

Thanks for your feedback everyone and really appreciate it. I will have to have to have a good look at Etruscan, Sandi, Shortcut and Angles Triangles when next at my stockist, tomorrow lol. They actually phoned me today with the news that the retiring silvers will not be going up in price straight away here, phew. Gives me more time to make decisions.

Sandi, Angles Triangles, Etruscan, Fables Faces and Viking.

I had a good look at Jellyfish yesterday as it is one I had always toyed with but it is just too mahoosive for me.

Also BABY, I love this bead, one of my first ones, it's big, heavy, solid and beautiful, to me it is 'yawning baby' as it looks just like my two when they were tiny and ready for a snuggle

I hated baby when I first started collecting, then when I got the humor of it and
how Troll it really is (IMO) I love it. What a funny bead.

Thanks and will have a look at Baby. I like to laugh so will make sure I take my glasses with me, blind as a bat otherwise!

Earlier this afternoon i ordered Sandi & Etruscan at 25% off. Just had an e-mail to say that my order has been dispatched

Will be watching for the postman

I have to buy Mouse on Cheese. It's been on my wishlist since I started collecting TB 2 years ago. I don't know why I haven't bought it yet!
Plus Viking, Fabled Faces, and Shortcut.
