*Sigh* Might as well go ahead and post this. I was considering getting the unicorn gargoyle for myself but the cat’s out of the bag now.
In his store (Nature’s Treasures) this afternoon the only retired piece was a lap dragon in peacock. He’s asking $165 for it. The piece is mint and he does have the box. He will do layaway and is willing to ship.
He did mention to me that he is all out of Kirin familys. After a “family group” retires he prefers to sell the pieces together. He did have one lone male kirin that he was going to call someone about after I left.
He did mention the oriental family in green (he couldn’t remember if they were dark or light) to me as well but didn’t quote a price at the time, just the desire to sell them as a family.
He also mention possibly having the mushroom ring candlelamp. His shop doesn’t have much storage space so some things are kept at a separate storage facility. That’s where the retired pieces seem to be right now. A few years ago he had a mall store, but closed it for various reasons. Stuff got stored and forgotten. He may even unearth other pieces later, there’s no telling.
The store’s contact information:
Nature’s Treasures
213 W. Saint Julian Street
Savannah, Ga 31401
(912) 234-1238As for the other shop in Savannah, she had several retired pieces in the store. The retired pieces were:
Rainbow Mother Dragon $142
Emerald Hatching Dragon $58
Sea Jewel $126
Wizard Woodlore x2 $120She also offers layaway and shipping. The way she does her shipping is she takes it to UPS and they bill the purchaser directly.
She also still has several copies of the Winter 2005 catalogue with the Rock Dragon on the front. She gave me a handful (she still had more) if anyone would like one.
The store’s contact information:
A Fine Choice
20 West State Street
Savannah Ga 31401
(912) 650-1845If anyone’s interested in the current production pieces they had in their stores let me know and I can list them here as well. It was nice to see Windstones in mass quantity again. I finaly got to see some of the dragons in rainbow, ruby, gold and emerald peacock in person and I have to say I’m not too fond of any of the colors. I miss the old peacock and emerald dragons.

The price for the set which includes the Oriental Sun Dragon, Original Oriental Dragon, and Young is $355.00. They are in their original boxes, never displayed, and he double boxes all his Windstones for shipping.

Cat’s out of the bag? What do you mean?

My art: featherdust.comI think maybe it was gone? 🙁
I keep watching the ones on ebay…But it wasn’t me who bought that one. I am trying to save up and pay off my layaway so I can see my first Scratcher. 😕Nambroth wrote:pegasi1978 wrote:*Sigh* Might as well go ahead and post this.

I was hoping to not have the piece mentioned because I knew there are lots of folks looking for it and I was/am considering getting it.

Oh I see! Well if it makes you feel any better, I would have mentioned him and the guardian dragon gargoyle if I had remembered, it was a busy weekend and I just forgot about some of them.

My art: featherdust.comit’s not problem. I was just happy to see so many Windstones again, and so many that I’ve never gotten to see in person either scupt wise or color wise. He said he would hold the Unicorn Gargolye for me through Saturday so I’m going to go see it in person and make a decision then.

That was nice of him! He was a really sweet man. 🙂

He was and he remembered you’re visit. He is very enthusiatic about Windstones as well. He likes them, that’s why he sells them. Seems like the best kind of dealer too me.

They still have the Lap Dragon in Peacock and a Unicorn Gargoyle, and possibly another set of the Oriental Dragons in Jade (he was sure of one set, but not the second). I was really surprised about the Oriental Dragons. He said that since they were retired, the store would only sell them in “family groups” of all three–this may explain why they still had some. They also keep the original boxes, and they double-box for shipping. 😀
I ordered a set of the Oriental Dragons; I don’t know if they’ll be the dark jade or the more emerald shade. I think I must be stark staring bonkers, doing this so soon after a move. 😳 I get into trouble at garage sales, too: “It’s a good deal! Who cares if it’s a stuffed owl and the Encyclopedia of the World in Thirty Volumes! It’s a good deal!” 🙄I talked to John today and showed him a picture with emerald vs. jade orientals and said everyone who bought the oriental families from him got the brighter emerald color. Hope that’s okay with you!
Cool by me! I actually prefer the lighter green Orientals over the dark jade. (Which is probably just as well, considering the jades are rare.) I sure hope they get here OK!

If he truly hasn’t marked them up from when they retired baby kirin was $25, male kirin was $84 and mother kirin was $76. Those are the last prices listed on the pieces at Astral Castle.
Yea, let me know I want the entire KiRin family. I would love to have them!! Thank you Pegasi! 😉 😀 You can pm me when you find out if you like. Thanks Again. 😀
