I think the large number of orange and blue (black with interference) GB youngs is Melody’s response to so many people sqeaking for calicos after the latest batch of GB babies, which only had the one calicoloosa. I think it’s the closest to a non-appaloosa calico, since not everyone likes appaloosa patterns. That’s my guess.
Omg both of you live so close! My dad lives in Mississauga, I grew up there 🙂 And Mmloda lives in Oshawa, I live in Kingston, and LIH lives in montreal! We all live in a big line, haha. We should all hang out and play with all the grab bag unicorns together xD
I’m in Toronto, and Dragonmedley is in Brampton. 🙂
*gasp*! We SO need to all meet up sometime.
UNI PARTY!! 😛
As if I needed more reason to look forward to getting my GB unis in the mail. 🙂 We’re the Canadian Windstone Contingent.
Haha I sent them 1st class international to canada. Not sure when they’ll get here but sure not next week!
But seeing everyone’s pictures in the mean time will just make me more excited. Plus I like having something to look forward to 😛
Hmm, that’s weird, it didn’t give me 1st class international as an option, although it usually does… :~
Did you order two unicorns? Because I know the weight limit for First Class mail is 4 pounds, so one unicorn would make it under the limit, but two would be over.
And kiya, your uni is lovely! I would be very happy if I received one like that (once I get one from the Monday group, that is). I’m sure you’ll have your pick of the crazy paint barf ones. 🙂
Grab bag baby griffins or maybe even fledglings seem more likely to me.
Grab bag fledglings!? *brain explodes*
(I don’t expect GB fledglings to ever be made, but the idea is amazing.)I seem to recall reading something about GB baby poads, and the design seems simple enough to paint quickly, so that makes sense. I think small flap cats might work too, and they would certainly be very popular. Aside from the baby pegasus, I can’t think of any other sculpt that’s small and relatively simple enough to work as a grab bag piece.
A break well deserved!
I’m also fairly new, but I lurked the forums for a while before I joined, so I have seen how patient and good to everyone you are. We really appreciate everything you do for us, so enjoy your break from putting up with us! 😉
Thanks for the tip, scenceable (hey, I’m in Canada too!). I just feel so defeated, like “Oh no, it happened AGAIN!” :O Where does everyone else find the time to stalk the store all day?
I think I will put out a help request and see if I can get someone else to snag one for me on Monday, or whenever the rest go into the store. I know the people on the forum can be a great help, e.g. Hannah hooked me up with a GB baby (Thank you, Hannah!), so I’m fairly sure I’ll get a GB young uni eventually. I just wish it didn’t have to be so frustrating.
Edit: In the time that it took me to write the above post, Drag0n has already responded. Man, I love the people on the forum! 😀
WARNING: RANT AHEAD
I am so frustrated, angry, and disappointed right now. As you’ve probably guessed, I wasn’t able to get one of the GB young unis today. I couldn’t get one of the GB babies from the store when they came out, and I got screwed again today.
I think the grab bag unicorn idea is really fun, and I know that Melody and Pam and Susie, etc. practically bend over backwards to satisfy us collectors, but I really think that the way these have been sold is terrible. No pre-order, no waiting list, they didn’t even tell us what day they would go into the store. Some people get to snap up two unicorns and I can’t even get one. Pardon me, but I don’t have the luxury of staying home by my computer for a week checking the store every 30 minutes. I don’t begrudge anyone who snagged a unicorn or two today (I would have got one, if I could), but there must be a better way for these to be sold.
The best I could do was stalk the store as often as possible, which I did for a week and a half, and book a day off work so that I would have access to my computer all day. But because they didn’t tell us which day the unis would be stocked, I had to make an educated guess, and my guess was off by one day (I took Wednesday off). So not only am I empty-handed, but I wasted a vacation day too.
It seems ridiculous that we know there are more unicorns to be sold, and I’m sitting here ready and willing to buy one, but I can’t, because there is no pre-order/waiting list mechanism in place in the store. And I can’t afford to use up another vacation day for “maybe Monday”.
Knowing my luck -and the fact that I’m in the eastern time zone and work an afternoon shift- I’ll be at work and unable to buy from the second half of the GB young unicorn batch. I’ll be left to the mercy of the secondary market, where I just have to hope that they don’t jack up the price. And I was going to buy a serpentine curlie (it would have been my first curlie) and have them sent together to save on shipping, but it looks like that’s also out the window.
I almost wish that I hadn’t watched the livestreams or paid any attention to the grab bag young unicorns, because all of the excitement and anticipation has led me to nothing but disappointment and a wasted day off.
Those are really nice shots, Wampus. I don’t normally like the tiger dragons, but they look great in a natural foliage setting.
I’ll definitely have to bring some of my dragons out for a photo shoot. 🙂
Well, Melody mentioned yesterday that she was signing their felt pads. So then those pads need to be glued on, class photo taken, then packaging, etc. If I was a betting person, I’d wager on them being put in the store on Friday.
I really hope I’m right about that, because I’ll be at work today without computer access! 🙁
*crosses fingers* Please be stocked on Friday, please be stocked on Friday…
I think the blue ice color is nice, but I agree with the others who suggested it needs more dark blue to contrast against the icy white.
Personally, I’d love to see dragons with the blue and aqua colors of the barn swallow ones, but with copper/bronze belly scales. That would make a spectacular production/LP color scheme.
Thanks, Wolfen! The seated spectral always struck as one Melody’s more reptilian looking dragons. I know they tend to have a polarizing effect on people, what with their spooky eyes, but I think they’re neat.
And that “white spectral in space” pic is great. Spectral indeed! 😉
I hope they announce whether they are going to put the unis in the store on Tuesday or Wednesday soon (before 10:30), because I need to know which day to book off. I guess they won’t really know until a bit later, given that there’s going to be another Livestream tonight.
And as for the “paint barf” unis, they should totally name one Barfolomew like someone suggested. I thought that was a great name! 😛
