We couldn’t afford the chicks right now either but got them and owe someone in the family, for stepping up. She’ll be repaid as soon as we get our paychecks. But at least we knew they were coming based on what Mel said above, so we could ask her if she could stand in for us. This time, she could with the stipulation that we pay her right back next week when we get paid. So really, for us, because we bought the whole Siamese family back to back when they came out (both chicks in one and then both adults), we blew our luxury spending allowance right there. But it occurred to us to ask Melody, since they did new coloured Griffins (Siams), if she was going to do any of the ones we’ve been squeaking on and off for since Sept 2009. I figured if new griffins came out, they obviously had castings, so wanted to know what happened to all the squeaks for the last new colour Griffin which was this one. I knew there were a lot of people out there that have not finished collecting this family, as well as those that have not gotten even one yet, especially out of those that collect Griffins more so than other pieces.
I feel badly that asking or bringing light to the topic, caused an unfortunate timing incident for you Siberakh1. I wish there was something I could do to help you out. But even we needed help getting the chicks here, or else Id find some way to try and get a pair on reserve somehow. But me personally, I can’t (which doesn’t help you to hear, I know). I think I read somewhere, maybe in description or alert email, that there will be more spotted chicks coming soon. Thats something to hold onto, sweetie! And I think now that Melody’s memory is jogged (I know she can’t remember all our rumblings) that she’ll get this colour out so that everyone that wants them can have them. I remember that being a pledge on time I was reading somewhere and it made me think, “wow, what an involved and amazing artist to pay *that* much attention to her fans requests and needs, desires and wants, when she could easily just go her merry way and make anything and still make the money because whatever she makes will sell. That she’d take the time to revisit an older colour (tho I don’t consider this one old like the original Black Peacock is old) to appease our requests and squeaks and squawks. I’m willing to bet but by no means speak for Melody, that there will be more of this family colour soon, and that everyone will have that chance to finish the sculpt in this colour as well as those that collect by sculpt and be able to get the ones missing (such as those that only collect Male Griffins but do not yet have the BW Spotted one).
Good luck all, and thanks again, MELODY, for doing this and so fast too! I do NOT mind waiting just a little bit of recovery time for the Male – and he’s even our favourite! Anyone else that already can afford him, can put the money aside knowing he’s coming up, but those of us that are waiting on money, we could use a little tiny week or so break before another large sculpt drops! Now I’m just hoping that another sculpt we collect is not released between then or we’ll be in trouble!!! (money wise)

If you are waiting to get something that sells out quickly, call or email Susie:
Susie (at) Windstoneeditions (dot) com
800-982-4464 (U.S. and Canada)
541-752-0404 (International)to get on the waiting list. There is no obligation to actually buy anything, but that list gives me an idea about which pieces are in demand, and roughly how many I should paint of each.
I’ll have to do that. My timing of when things pop in the store and when I can actually get them are just not on the same page right now! *lol*
^ ^ ^ Boy do I hear that! We just happened to get lucky this time, which was a very rare treat. Third batch must be the charm! Now, if we can just be online when she releases those Males, it will be a complete Griffin family not just in colour, but in ALL the Griffins (save for the Pearl adults which just don’t do it for us; tho if we really wanted them, know where to score them). But I think we got lucky this time, because Melody responded not only so quickly to this thread, but favorably and affirmed she’d be doing them soon. She was our luck in this case.
