Am I correct in thinking this guy is mistaken? Windstone never made music boxes did they?
Definitely have never heard of Windstone music boxes, and the dragons look nothing like Melody’s style.
I hope the seller is just mistaken. Things could get complicated with the Windstone name being associated with more than one creator/distributor of fantasy sculpture. 😕
Those definately aren’t Windstones. Wonder where they got the name? Just trying to ride the coattails of some big Windstone auctions recently?

The seller uses the phrase “Windstone Editions” in the description of the auction as a specific feature. That’s like using “Bang & Olufsen” as a feature on an auction for a Crosley radio. You don’t just make that kind of mistake unless you think that “B&A” is synonymous with “radio” or “Windstone Edition” is synonymous with “dragon sculpture”.
If it’s not a scam, it should certainly be treated like one.

I think this is exactly what happened here. If you in their store you’ll see they do have several windstones up for sale. It’s possible that when they were building the auction they used an old template that still had the Windstone Editions name in it.
Yup..those do not look like windstones at all… 😕 The seller might have just been mistaken or used the same auction plate and doesn’t realize that it says Windstone… 🙂

He’s got some other Windstones for sale. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, he might have just been copying/pasting his auction titles/descriptions and got confused?
I feel sorry for his real Windstones, though. >.>; @ their condition
UGH Those are definitely not Windstones but the idea of a Windstone music box is definitely appealing.
Isn’t the use of the Windstone name with the dragons an infrigenment?

Yes, this is what I think now upon closer inspection. I dont think he is trying to pull a fast one. I mean seriously- he has other legit Windstones up for auction, he must know collectors, even newbies can tell the difference between pieces like Summit (which I think those are) and Windstone running side by side.
