Mel, what will the Ebay BIN prices be set at for the brown griff mother and chicks?
Second question: Have you started work yet on the PYO flapcats and hyppogriffs?
Also, I think it would be great if this website had a calander of some sort, to organize everything, such as estimated release dates for BINs, new colors, new production pieces, etc. Just something to let us all know your plans for the future, so we wouldn’t have a million and one topics like this one asking you all that stuff over and over and over again.
And finally, I must say, I LOVE the new golds SO much better than the first versions!! They look so much more realistic and have so much more depth to them. I am guessing their main difference in comparison to the first ones is that these new ones have more brown plus they have purple added? Either way, they look fantastic and I can’t wait to get my hands on a new gold emperor.
December 15, 2006 at 3:40 am #516761I dont mean to speak for Mel here, but….
Although the calander idea sounds great, Melody keeps saying she never knows when things will be out-they’re out when they’re out. Windstone doesn’t work on calanders and dates 😉
(from the “ETA Griffin” thread)Quote:I really have trouble with ETA becase I just don’t know what is gonna happen. Sometimes stuff gets out on time, sometimes we run into unforseen glitches.The Fem. griff is final, being cast for a final test paint batch and then on to production.The sitting chick in in the same state , the crouching chick will be done Monday and begin getting the final mold made. Possibly we will put a test batch on Ebay the end of this month? That is optimistic,of course.
And also judging by her response in another recent thread in which she said she didn’t know the prices of things out now, so I have a feeling she doesn’t decide the price directly, herself (but I could be wrong on the last bit)
hope that helped!

We haven’t yet priced the new griffins, but I guess the female griffin would be around the same price as the BIN males, although she is a little bigger… we haven’t priced the chicks yet, either. We typically decide these things about five minutes before we put them on ebay.No, I haven’t begun work on pyo flappcats or any other sculpture, for that matter.(…and now that my winged wolf got stolen, I’ve got to do that one over again, too! moan, gripe)
This time of year I don’t try to work on sculpture. I work on painting. And griping.A calender would be swell, if we were organized enough for it to mean anything…but we never know what is going to happen, when. Things just kinda happen when they are ready to. I give up trying to predict anything! Too many variables.
The gold dragons now have some purple, and some copper on them, so they are slowly gaining complexity. They do look much nicer with more colors on them.
December 15, 2006 at 4:28 am #516763Yikes! I hope the female griffins aren’t as much as the males…more than $230 when the originals sold for $75? I’d have to pass if all the female griffs are going to be more than the BIN males 🙁

Right. I don’t set the prices myself. We set the prices by figuring how long they take to paint (after painting a batch or two)how complicated they are to cast, and how big they are, etc.
See how organized we are?December 15, 2006 at 4:29 am #516765Thanks so much for the replies. 😀 Do you think this newer gold will be the final version?
What price were the BIN males? I forget… EDIT: Ok, just saw that answered… 230! 😯
Ok, maybe not a calendar with dates, but what about one without? Something that just has basic game-plan info like “Griffs to be released sometime in the next few months, colors undecided, maybe X, X, or X. Prototypes to be released soon on EBay in this or that color. Currently working on this and that sculpture, hoping to eventually release X and X sculptures. Working on new color for dragons, purple theme, et cetera, et cetera.” Surely you must have some sort of general idea as to what all you want to do and have done in the future?

That’s just a guestamate for the limited production females.
I don’t know what the production ones will go for, we haven’t priced them yet…or even figured out a color!December 15, 2006 at 5:44 am #516767Fine with me =) I’m too broke to buy anything right now! LOL! We just officially cancelled presents for X-mas this year because of my cat getting sick. 😳 At least I don’t have to beat down crazy peopl ein the mall though, so it’s not all bad! hehe, I’m hoping the griffin family doesn’t come out until Feb or even March. Then maybe I will actually be able to get them.
Got a busted Windstone?

Otherwise I’ll likely be letting them pass, I’m afraid. Not that I can predict my income very well, but if they came out this week I couldn’t get them, that’s for sure.

December 15, 2006 at 7:46 am #516770The only ones I absolutly MUST have are the pink eyed albonos to go w/my male. Then I will get one little black one and one little tan one. And maybe one more… I dont even want to tally that up…
