All things being equal, I’d strongly prefer to see them as production (as they’re cute as heck and very modestly priced for a finished-windstone), but if the bugs absolutely can’t be worked out, I’d very much prefer to see them as PYO than not at all!
Just to be clear–I’d much rather see production too; the deep copper metallic red fox that was one of the early quest prizes is EXACTLY what I want. Or the non metallic red that was a more recent prize.
But given that this has been a problem for so many months, heck, I’d just as soon see you put them out into the world as PYOs, wash your hands of the issue, and move on with the eight kazillion other things you guys are trying to work out (like horns). Better to get PYO money for them now than to be unable to use the design at all, or for another six-eight-ten months while the kinks are still giving you fits.
Just a thought. 🙂
