Wow. News! News! News!!
Here's some long-awaited news for those of us who have been waiting! Read on, but please realize that I am NOT a bona fide "in-the-know" Trollbeadie, but I am a serious Trollbead fan, who is simply sharing news that I have heard. Whether it's true - or even how true - remains to be seen. Soon.
Big news orbiting the Trollbead Universe!
Some good (new beads, new ways to wear Trollbeads!), some bad (price increases, retired pieces), and some that aren't really all that much of a big deal (some kits will no longer be offered as "kits"). Of course, it's all about personal opinion on whether the you think the news is good, bad, irrelevant or ugly.
At this point, I am only aware of one retiree. BUT. That does not mean that there aren't more. That's just the only one I've heard about. :-(
Unfortunately, there also appear to be a lot of price Increases on the horizon. And that horizon is getting closer - very fast (mid-February or March 2008). I've already discovered news of price increases for glass and silver ... and one just has to assume there will also be significant prices for the gold beads, as well.
REMEMBER: this is not being reported as 100% fact, but is strictly the result of my persistent digging for news. As far as the dollar amount of the increase, my best guess is that the price increase for glass beads and/or silver beads is going to be about $5.00-$10.00 US dollars each (for standard beads).

So, Trollies, take the news and run with it. If you have beads you have been saving for ... buy them now!!!!
Or, on the other hand, save your money for the new beads ... :-)
