Prior to last Thursday I had no idea what a Windstone Dragon was. In fact, I’d never heard of Windstone period. Now I have 5.
I was out with a friend at a thrift store. I’ll routinely make the thrift store rounds as there are often cool things to be had. And, one never knows what awaits. I like the serendipity of it all.
So I was waiting as my friend was trying on like 20 articles of clothing. And, my eyes came to rest on this dragon emerging from an egg.
I now know it to be the Empress Hatching in peacock. But, at the time it just seemed cool, intriguing, and cute…all at once. It had two minor chips and the original tag still attached. And it was asking to be taken home for the staggering sum of twelve dollars and 50 cents.
In a moment I’ll forever regret I didn’t buy it immediately. My friend emerged and we both looked at it and commented on how cool it was. But for some reason I decided to walk around and look some more while I mulled it over. We left the store and walked to another (it’s a Salvation Army with a cluster of stores). I kept thinking about the dragon, and after about 30 minutes walked back to buy it. And, of course, it was gone 😥
*bangs head against monitor*
That night I looked up online what I remember it had printed on the bottom and side: “Windstone Editions” and “M. Pena”. I found out that is was an Empress Hatching and much much more.
And here I am.
I even e-mailed Melody that night after seeing her e-mail on an EBay posting. I explained I had just discovered Windstone and was looking for an Empress Hatching. She wrote me back a nice long e-mail and referred me here. She seems to be a genuinely nice person.
So, with that still on my mind the next day I went to a different Salvation Army (I live right near one). And I was cruising about my eyes came to rest on the dragon below. How is that for lucky? I missed one the day before and found another the next day in a different store.
I am imaginging someone donated both (and maybe more) and one went to one store and one another.
The one below has a few minor chips. And it cost $8.
Anyone know the name?So the one below is actually my first. Now I have another 4.
And, I plan to get an Empress Hatching to make up for my lack of good judgement that Thursday…
Well, here is the first of my dragons, purchased last Friday..
You have a coiled Male Dragon in the now retired Peacock color. Congrats! He is a very very nice dragon. The retail price on those guys was anywhere from $52-63, and now that they are retired they tend to sell well on eBay, with an average price around $80 for a mint one.
