There are 16 new CiM colors in our next shipment of color. Our shipment is on the ocean and we do not have an exact release date, but I guess around the 10th of April. Things that can delay our shipment is:

1. Bad weather
2 Dock Strikes
3. Normal U.S. Customs inspections
4. Lengthy U.S. Customs Inspections
5. Finding a driver to deliver it to us
6. Any attacks by Godzilla

But we did get a few pounds of each color and we have made 200 assortments consisting of all 16 colors. This assortment retails for $30, but at the ISGB/GLasscraft Bead Expo we are offering them at $20 each. We will enforce a one assortment per customer so that everyone (well almost everyone) gets a chance to purchase one.

If you are in Vegas and miss the opportunity to purchase CiM's new assortment or you can not come to Vegas, we do have 50 of these new CiM assortments for sale on Friday the 31st of March on the web and in our store (one assortment per customer). We are also offering TBYB on the new colors. Go to our website and check out our TBYB. As usual there is a limit of 2 rods of the new colors in the TBYB program, but they are free, with your order.
