I’d like to see lavender pearl on sculpts that have not yet gotten it. “That color” used for the previous lavender pearl pieces may have been discontinued, but there is a lavender color on the pastel rainbow dragons. Why can’t that be used to create another version of lavender pearl? There are two versions of the lavender pearl curled dragon, that are not quite the same.
Pale mint everything would be awesome too!
Colorshift curled dragons done in the style of those colorshift cougars I see in the store. Just a solid coat of each type of colorshift paint. I would totally buy one of each colorshift curlie!

I love Golden Monkey from Teavana, and was sad that Starbucks destroyed the brand. Luckily I had bought a huge supply before the local store closed down.

Looks like someone got the ruby one to get separated out from the lot, and the price only lowered for the rest by only $100. So… they let the ruby go for only $100?? Sounds like a good deal for the buyer.

I wouldn’t mind spots if they were all over, but I did find it strange that they have stripes on the neck but spots on the rump!
The Grand appears to be the first without neck stripes, so maybe the answer for the future is “spots, no stripes”?
(I like the stripes better, but I’m not bidding so my opinion doesn’t count for much!)
I was wondering if Gina forgot the stripes, since every other Orion no matter the sculpt has it.

For example, the things I would want that are not made yet:
mother coiled dragon in colors she hasn’t been painted yet, such as elven, prismatic spring, gold, etc.
I swear the poor mum in Prismatic Spring has been on my list of to-dos for so long now -_- Soon my friend, soon!
Looking forward to it.

Got this eBay message today for one of my PYOs. Some people…
“Oh nooooooo, who ruined this poor baby?! What was his orig color and can he be stripped of this red white and blue mess? Or would that mess him up?”

Now that Windstone has an Amazon store, they may have more leverage to get fraudulent items removed from Amazon.

I always thought sales taxes are based on where the seller is located, not the buyer. That’s why people around me drive to NJ or MA to shop. Heck, that’s why Quebeqois zoom straight through New York and go to NJ to shop. They have lower sales taxes than where I am. According to the link Ela_Hara provided, eBay is going to charge sales tax based on where the buyer is located. Did I understand that correctly?
If people drive to NJ or MA to shop, then they are physically in NJ or MA at the time of purchase.
As for the Quebeqois, the same principle applies, except they are dodging Canada’s duty.
Canadians are allowed to make a certain amount of duty-free purchases each year when they come into the US. They just chose not to do it to the state closest to the border! Saving those few extra dollars. When I’ve stopped at rest stops between NJ and NY, I’ve seen vehicles with Canadian plates jammed full of Costco bags so that they can’t even see out the back window. There’s no way to hide that when crossing. lol

So – if I understand this correctly….
If I’M the eBay Seller and I’m selling to Tig3r, the buyer who lives in Washington, then I don’t pay taxes and eBay collects the taxes from Tig3r and her account.
And conversely, if I’M the Buyer purchasing an eBay item from Tig3r, a seller who lives in Washington, then eBay will collect the taxes from me and my account.
However, if I sell or buy an eBay item with someone who lives in a State that is not collecting internet retail taxes, then eBay will not collect taxes from either one of us.
Does this sound correct?
I think the second one is not correct. If it’s all based on buyer location, then eBay will take the tax your state wants, not the seller’s state of Washington, if your state has internet sales tax.
I think I am getting this. The tax the seller pays is income tax, with those lovely end-of-year IRS forms we all love. That’s why this new tax thing is all based on the buyer’s location. eBay doing this removes the work the seller was supposed to be doing of collecting the taxes from buyers and giving the payments to each freaking state their customers live in.
So now, if it was not already happening, every Windstone eBay test paint is going to have a tax added on to the winner’s bill, according to the winner’s state sales tax laws. Windstone won’t even have to do anything about it. It will have to be something bidders now consider, especially when the bids go very high.
For Windstone store items, I don’t know. I remember NY had passed a law years ago that when filing state taxes, you had to disclose the total amount you paid in online purchases made ANYWHERE in the country, so that NY could collect the appropriate amount of sales tax from you. Ha. Ha ha ha ha. I am so sure people were all so honest when doing that.

I didn’t want to put all the pictures here, and didn’t know how to edit them all in one picture, so I created a “virtual display case” and did a screenshot. I think there may be a pattern to the colors I like?!

One of my dogs sits in this pose, but she is clearly begging for food, and not hunting. I don’t think anyone would want to name it the Beggar Oriental Dragon.
I was thinking he/she looked playful, so Playful Oriental Dragon, but I like Rampant too. Although sometimes Juvenile can mean playful as well. Name it ALL the things! lol

I know what you mean, Bodine. And until my Hubbie makes shelves for my current WS collection I’m officially out of display space! So it’s a maybe for me too.
Will these be painted in Production colors? A Blue Morpho might be nice to go with my BM Moon Dragon.
They are intended to be production so presumably they eventually will be in Blue Morpho. I’m considering skipping the grab bag and waiting for him to appear in Violet Flame. It could be a long wait though!
Ah ha! Since painting the PYO oriental I have been feeling like I want one of the production ones now, looking at that white on eBay. If this new one comes out in the pearly white, I think I would get that!

Me too Lisa.Could you imagine the OW & Lap?Dreamy eye candy.
A few more…(the wizards all have a special crystal of mine I just hung on each one.Happened to have 4&4)
Well, I did not want to be greedy and say I would like a sparkling spectral, a curled one would do, but big sparklies are good too!
Did you display your Veligent books on the old Windstone Editions pamphlet holders? There’s a smart idea. Maybe there’s going to be a rush on those on eBay! 😉
