I’m new to the forums, I apologize if I’m posting this in the wrong section. I picked up a Windstone Editions dragon from a thrift store today for $15. I am not a collector but have seen Windstone collections on other forums and knew they were sought after. I was wondering if someone could tell me about what I found and a price for it. Any information would be appreciated, thank you.
You have the male dragon in old brown. My favorite color scheme. I have all of the original old browns and a few of the new ones as well.
Hello, as MonaLS said, that’s the male dragon in brown. Here’s some information about it from the Astral Castle Windstone Encyclopedia, which lists the original retail price at $56 & $80
As for going price on Ebay; here’s some Ebay auction ending prices for Non-Mint:

http://ravnheart.com/windstone/index.php?act=details&id=444Does he have a gray felt pad with the Windstone logo on the bottom? That’s one way to get a better idea of an Old Brown’s age: the very oldest ones don’t have a felt pad, just a stamp. But age doesn’t necessarily affect value, at least not to every collector. The Old Browns have some color variants since they were produced for a good long while, which means that folks tend to look for an Old Brown that has the color combination that they like best. Yours is a very nice example of a darker Old Brown, with less yellow and more burnt orange. I see that he has a chip on his tail, but that can be fixed; there are some very good repair people on the Forum. Finding him for $15 is a superb price–well done! 🙂
Thank you everyone. He does have a felt bottom and unfortunately a few chips. I think I’ll probably hold onto him. I’ve always admired Windstones and always hoped to come across one secondhand. Is there a way I can fix the chips myself so he doesn’t further fall apart?
Yes, there is a link around here for tip for repairing Windstones. There are also folks on here that do it for a small fee. They are very good!
Ok I will have a look around and see! Everyone’s collections are amazing!
Yes, I’m a toy collector mostly. My little ponies and care bears are my main collection, and then other random things from the 80’s. 😀
Leave it to Wolfen to spot the pony. Now that it’s been pointed out I recognise Bow Tie’s bootie. 😆
I found Kyrins repair thread. She is really good.
