My updated bracelet. Only 2 of the beads that I ordered were in: C-bead and the Make-a-Wish Coin (€10 goes to MaW!). The rest is comming in by the end of this week or next week. I did get some other beads too: 2 Aquarium Pastel, 1 Brown Desert and 1 Dark Leopard.

Aquarium Pastel is gorgeous and I look at that bead each time I am at the shop. It is mesmerizing IRL for some reason.

Is the Dark Leopard on the bracelet? Or are you waiting for it?

There is another bead that looks like the blue stribe; it's called blue symmetry and is scheduled for retirement this month. It's regular production price right now.

Nancy-I bought a lot of beads from the upcoming retirement: black squirrel, fur animal, sandi, fabled faces...I'd like to get a few more before the price increase on current beads but I was able to put the entire set of the Chinese Zodiac set on layaway, so all of my fun money has to go towards that for a while!
I think I will be happy in the long run, the Chinese Zodiac is very special to me so this is a set I need.

I want a couple from them, hopefully will be able to get! do you know how limited they are?

Engel-there doesn't seem to be a straight answer for how limited they are; some people have said their LD cannot order more sets, but other people seem to be able to walk right in and get what they want. They will probably be available for a little while, but get more limited as the year progresses.

I bought a Beach glass bead this past weekend, and I love it! Then I was on Facebook yesterday, and found out about the price increase! So I popped down to my local Trollbeads retailer and bought the ugly duckling bead today! That was all I could afford. I am going to get all the beads I can before the price increase. I especially need to buy my sister's birthday bead. My local retailer was very low on the silver beads today. I had only been there 2 weeks ago and they had plenty! She said her rep is coming by this Wednesday and she will be ordering more so I put in my wishlist. She didn't mention anything about a bead loyalty program though...
I think I would prefer to go with someone with a bead loyalty program so that I can save some money...
Kitsunegirl, did you say Trollbeads At The Commons had free shipping?

Thanks for sharing your pics! I wish my cellphone took better ones, since it is so much faster and simpler for me to snap and upload with that... But I think I better pull out the good camera...

darkangel - I feel the same way, I want to support local. Though there are some good offers out there, so I split up a few purchases.

I really want to get Gold Triangle bead but it will be in a few months and I won't get it in before the price increase.

That is what I have done... I bought the lock and bracelet online, it was SUCH a great deal, and then I bought my first four beads from three different local shops.. But now I think it is time for me to save the gas and $$$! :)

Good to know!
I am a bit torn... I want to buy local, but... free shipping (which saves me the gas), and a loyalty card (which saves me $$$) is very appealing!
