Oooh, is that an emerald peacock one? Or an intense violet perhaps? He’s gorgeous! 😀
It’s retired so I’m assuming it’s the “original” peacock coloring. All I know is it’s just lovely! 😀

Thanks!You have to be careful believing seller’s claims that a piece is retired. Many sellers don’t really know what it is that they have or if it is truly retired. Often times, sellers know that folks tend to pay a little more for retired pieces so they will tack the word.
That being said, the piece you are getting is a peacock lap dragon. If it were an emerald peacock the wings would be green on the bottom not the blue (with a hint of purple) that the dragon you’re getting has. Another way to tell peacock and emerald peacock apart is jewel color (for the ones that have it). Peacocks have a light blue jewel and emerald peacocks have a purple jewel.
So are you saying it’s retired or is it not retired? It really doesn’t matter, I still love the coloring. I will be more cautious though when bidding so thanks for the heads up. *sigh* Unfortunately there are some rather shady sellers out there!
I took bids on this one because I had some bday money. I wasn’t going to bid over $90.
Of course the only reason I think I got it was because it has a paint chip on the head and is less desirable. But I’m going to see if I can fix that up it’s not a huge problem to me.

The peacock color is retired. So if sellers claim that they are right. If they were to claim emerald peacock is retired…they are wrong. If you ever want to know for sure what regular production pieces and colors are retired, Windstone has a handy reference page. I believe it is up-to-date, though it doesn’t list the Red Fire color as it isn’t offically retired yet.
One of the sellers I did business with (not through e-bay, but at a retail location) called the Emerald Peacock Fledgling retired. I wonder where they heard that? It’s the only Emerald Peacock piece they have listed as being retired. I’ve seen sellers on e-bay frequently list the white unicorn family as retired.
Thanks for all the handy advice Pegasi, you’ve been a real help. As long as I’ve owned some of my Windstones I’m still a bit naive about these facts.

No problem at all! It mostly comes from being around the forum for nearly three years. 😆
He reminds me of the Jade scratcher! Same paler muzzle and everything.
I have to say green is just lovely on these dragons! 😀

Probably thought it was a regular peacock? The newer ones are much more colorful than the older peacocks. :scratch: 😕
