my evil plan is succeeding … or getting friends hooked

[Pegasi1978]

LOL! I introduced a friend and her mother to Windstones earlier this year. Since then her mother has gone a little nuts buying some. My friend now has 8 (wolf griffin family, two small wizards, pyo wolf & pyo muse). The only one my friend bought was the muse. She’s slowly painthing him. Her mother has 5 windstones of her own (flap cats and a wolf griffin chick). Her mom painted the PYO wolf.

So has anyone else gotten someone hooked on Windstones by showing them thier collection?

Me 🙂 It seems I inadvertantly fueled Neko_Vash_Fly’s enthusiasm. So far she’s done a PYO muse and a ki-rin, and has a PYO dragon on the way. Another friend is slowly collecting the peacock dragon line after falling in love with my peacock scratcher and fledge, and yet another is collecting the white hoofers after I gave her the mother unicorn as a moving gift.

Oh and I totally forgot that I’ve also gotten another friend’s girlfriend hooked on Windstones by giving her a PYO unicorn I did for Christmas. She has a small list of pieces she wants to collect. 😆

Windstones seem to be a lot like the old Pringles ads…Once you pop you just can’t stop! I just did a rough count and since last December last year my little collection has gone from 5 or 6 to around 80. Lucky for me I’m not addicted or anything….. 😳

Right, JVargas! 😆
I had five pieces when I joined in September 06, and now I have 92. Nah, I’m not addicted either. 🙄

Oh yes! Ive definitely infected others with our addiction through my collection- and even more so now since it has changed SO much. When they see them up close, they realize the detail that is lost in photos (though the photos are quite good, but when you see them in person for the first time, it takes your breath away; and feel them too- texture and weight also tell you youre holding something of value).

It was easy to medium to get friends that were already fantasy lovers hooked. But what I really enjoy is hooking friends or people on Windstones that have never previously been interested in fantasy. Ive watched them do a 180 and wind up getting so hooked- and into debt!

I came here to meet like minded ppl and to sell off my collection for medical bills. I now have more Windstones than I ever did! However, that is because family and friends FINALLY, after ALL these years, clicked in realizing that Im partial to this company and not just any cheap resin fantasy piece. Now that theyve figured it out, they know how and usually where to hunt. Got many as house warming gifts and for various holidays, and some, just cause. I mean, I buy ppl things, just cause. I dont need an occasion or reason. And many family and friends are like that with me too. But NOW they know where to focus their dollars 😀

And in doing so, have become hooked as well 😈

Yeah, we’re great examples. We really practice what we preach. 😆
