    I’ll forward that, DM. He always asks me for advice before buying, whether the anatomy is good and all that. I help him pick the best pieces from the Chinese junk.

      well it sounds like we all have the task of recrutting the next generation of Windstone collector. Windstone is one of the best to collect in the world and it’s our job to get them sold and to get new people hooked on them

      Yep. I try.

        me too I have had several friends comment about them but I have not seen any of them in their houses yet. I hope the stores I sent to Windstone order

        Pewter is totally different…I mainly mean those plastic resin things you find at every Spensors or even some collector stores. They look almost like they are copying off of Enchantica Dragons but not even close to Enchantica quality…and I don’t like Enchantica! They look like lizards with attached wings and crummy dinosaur faces and the most hideaous colors around…and almost always snarling or flailing or otherwise guarding gold or being fought by a wizard. I spoke to a store owner who said he preferred those to Windstones because fantasy doesn’t sell. I said fantasy doesn’t sell when it comes packaged like that instead of Windstones. I showed him the Windstone catelog I have and he was just like…well, people do still pay for these things so why should I invest more money in higher quality stuff? And this coming from a guy who carries Swaraski or however you spell it, crystals and high-end statuary! It’s like his shop carries top of the line in everything sculpture except fantasy…then it’s the lowest of the low.

          Some people will never be converted. Too bad for them

          Sorry about the link. The ones I mean are the “Ornate winged dragons.”
          Those remind me of Nina’s flutterdragons she did, but hers are much better.

            I contacted AAFES and the guy told me the same thing, Water…”Fantasy doesnt sell.” 😡

              it really sucks that people can’t see the beauty in real quality
