LupusLunae, you got my favorite! She’s gorgeous!
Here is mine. She’s crazy! I’m open for trades for any from this batch. Her head and tail are the green/purple I believe. Lower legs is red/gold color shift. Her toes are green, and there are green scales on her too. Blue eyes and gold horn. These guys remind me of the raku style of firing porcelain.
Love baby kirins, safari poads, mini keepers, and anything BLUE, BLUE, and, oh yes, BLUE.
February 14, 2016 at 12:41 am #941776I got mine today too, woo! I like her but she wasn’t a favorite pick so I’ll consider trades – specifically looking for a purple one (esp white-faced) or the rootbeer brown & white ones with brown patches on the sides.
She’s a cute little thing with olive green-dark gold color shift leaves (with a bright green color at the center of some of the scales), reddish-magenta berry spots, and a magenta-copper patch between her ears behind her horn that matches the melon-pink color of her inner ears; grey metallic eyes and a gold horn. First pictures are with flash where you can see the sparkle paint; the other two pictures are without flash.
I didn’t participate, since this particular ki’rin was the only one I wanted out of the entire Grab! xD
Congrats!! I hope you find a trade you’re looking for ♥↞↞≪∙ FOREVER SEEKING •↟•

☙ #224 KOI GB '22 Young Qi'LinFebruary 14, 2016 at 3:51 am #941787I Don’t know if it is different in other Provinces, because Kim’s fees seem very low to me; I am in Ontario. Hope that helped a bit. I guess the short answer is, you MIGHT pay tax when it crosses 😉
I am in Alberta so maybe it has something to do with taxes? Our provincial tax is 5% here but customs is federal right? I don’t know if maybe each province is charged differently though? Most of my packages come through customs in Richmond, B.C. so maybe they charge differently at the border in the east? I don’t think I have paid more than 10%. The post office told me that if something is under $100 value and marked a gift, it shouldn’t get charged customs but if it is over $100, even if it’s marked a gift it can be charged. I would say maybe 80% of the small boxes I have gotten in the last couple years haven’t been charged customs but most of the big ones have been charged.
Kim, that sounds about the same as here in British Columbia tax/duty-wise – although I have yet to ever be charged customs on a Windstone. (Knock on wood!) I did get charged bizarrely on shoes once though. Those were terrible shoes.
Bear that in mind though, I have never ordered anything worth more than $135 USD without shipping. I think my mom’s colour shift cougar was the most I have spent. (Student loans rather muzzle any wild spending although I plan on buying myself a super cool windstone as soon as those are dead! After over half a decade of the ordeal of paying those off, I think I’ll deserve it! (And also a trip somewhere really cool…))

Rylorien, yours looks like it is ready for a mask ball! 😀 Awesome markings!

Excellent!
February 14, 2016 at 5:00 am #941791I’m in BC too Falcolf! I live near the border which is why I was asking. Doesn’t take much to run across and do a pick up for me.
These babes are gorgeous. I’m having pangs of regret on not snapping one up but I am really hoping for some new Poads or an eBay dragon.
As it stands I am still a grab bag virgin. 🙂
Thanks for posting pictures of your new babies people. So lovely to look at.Marianne

Right? Masquerade makes for a great name (and a convenient old school MLP reference!). Melody did a fantastic job with the details and color blends on these babies.
February 14, 2016 at 12:38 pm #941798Nice kirins so far! I liked the solid coloured one!
Looking for rainbow or pink & teal grab bags!

Pretty kirin, MandBsMom! One of my favs so far. I have to be patient & wait until Tuesday for mine to show.
February 14, 2016 at 3:45 pm #941809Mine says Tuesday too, but we’re probably going to get bad weather on Monday which could slow him down. *sigh*

I love the color on the root beer one. And a super cute name too 🙂
February 14, 2016 at 7:12 pm #941822Gosh, they are all so beautiful so far!! MandBsmom, yours is my favorite that I’ve seen yet – which is totally surprising because ALL of the other ones posted are on my wanted list! XD This seems to happen to me a lot. I should know better by now than to pick favorites before good pictures are taken!

February 14, 2016 at 11:11 pm #941845lol i need to share something with you guys. so my boyfriend, made his add for his grab bag and posted it. i took one look at his photos and told him he needed to redo them, that they didnt show the baby off at all. he was so confused, typical male. i said the photos you took with flash are at an angle that only show the top half colors, and your non flash photos are on the shadowed side. they dont show off the color at all. so he is now grumbling and redoing good photos for later.
February 14, 2016 at 11:46 pm #941848Ha! Betrluk! That’s hilarious.
