Ok, it’s not fair… Why does Mel always have to make the really pretty ones ebay auction only? Why can’t the pretty ones be production?? *sigh* Maybe its just me, but the auction windstones always seem so much more beautiful than the production ones 😥

Not being Melody, I can’t be sure, but I’m betting the ones we all think of as “really pretty” are also the ones that are massively time intensive to paint. Having them as production colors would make no sense, costwise, as the time put into making each one would mean a 60 dollar dragon, for example, having to be priced at 100+.
For the very serious collector, that might not be a problem, but the majority of Windstone purchases (NOT including the OOAK specials) are from casual collectors and those who see something they like either online or in a shop might not be willing to pay that much extra when, to them, EmPea or any of the other lovely production colors out there are just as “really pretty”. And this way, the ones meant for a more ‘serious’ (in this case, seroius meaning someone who is a collector willing to spend above the norm) collector, the ones that cannot be mass produced, are placed on Ebay, where they can earn more for Windstone, and enable them to have money to develop all the new items and colors everone here demands. 😀

These have lavender eyes! You hate lavender eyes!

I couldn’t have said that better myself Nyte. I’m sure that’s just how it is, but I understand where Pam is coming from too. Though I understand they must be SO MUCH MORE INVOLVED I can’t help but squeak out a few “woah is me’s” on ones I can’t afford =) 😛 I try though. I have a few pretties I will love forever so I’m REALLY happy! *squeezes Calico Flap Cat #1 and BEP Old Warrior #4 tightly* I just need a limited Griffin to complete the trio and a Secret Keeper someday and I can die happy 😀

… unless you are talking about the golden warrior, and he is just like the cheaper production ones,’cept for the sparkle paint.I do, but I can tolerate them much better than green (especially when I am desperate).
I think the purple hilights you are talking about might also help the lavender eyes a bit. It helpes to have a color elsewhere on the piece to correspond to the eye color.Sparkle paint..? Did I miss something?
