I’m reasonably satisfied with eBay, except for the sniping thing. But if items like these were sold one by one on eBay, Windstone could not keep the one to a customer rule they have been using lately, could they?

Nightcrow, my late lamented Louie used that same pose a lot and had the same long legs. Tabbies are the best!

I am so excited! I’m sure the AWD Hip-moms will be out of my price range, but every one I’ve seen so far is absolutely fantastic, AND I’m definitely looking forward to future “Semi-GrabBag” offerings! I loved it when Melody did that with the Sitting Orientals (Cool/Fantasy/Koi) and Cougars (Giraffe/Fantasy/Flame), and think it’s a great way to help fans improve their chances of getting a piece they love and be more willing to spend money on a higher-priced piece.
Plus I’m still hoping for a “one day” Grab Bag of Pebble Cougars in cat colors, and would LOVE it if they were divided up in some fashion to make it easier for me to choose among them! (White markings vs. no white markings would be ideal for me, but I could also roll with a Tabbies with/without white vs. Solids with/without white split… or even finer categories, e.g. no-white Tabbies/no-white Solids/white on Tabbies/white on Solids.) 🙂
Yes! I have two different cougars and wasn’t planning to buy more, but I might find a tabby cougar very hard to resist.

I squeak for new pebbles — maybe a dog? We have cat pebbles and a wolf pebble, but no dog. Maybe a hound with floppy ears?

I will squeak for production small flap cats, both bat- and bird-winged, in new colors, plus sitting young oriental dragons, either grab bag (particularly in cool or fantasy colors) or production.

Thanks for the reminder where to find our lists of items we have waitlisted. I checked mine and there were several I no longer need and I removed them.

I’ve seen a lot of that “RARE!” on current production items too. Some of it may be ignorance. I think some people who are not familiar with Windstone see a test paint go for a big price and think the same item in a production color will sell just as high.

So would I, but I think it would be a shame to switch to gold from copper. I have a couple of Atlantis items and the copper is beautiful and a nice change from gold and silver.

The other qi-lins have that cute grumpy look. This little guy looks guilty, like he’s been caught with his hoof in the cookie jar! These are going to be very hard to resist.

I forgot to add that I have been very happy/lucky with the grab bags I’ve participated in and never wanted to trade what I got.

In my opinion, the sensible solution is to paint a batch of the mother hippogriffs in “old white” and a batch in basic black and put them in the store. People who have hippogriff babies can choose which color goes best with their herd and be done with it.
If anyone asks, they can make up stories about the mother hippogriff’s adventures that resulted in the different babies. 🙂
I don’t buy hoofers, so this doesn’t matter to me personally, but etruscan’s suggestion makes the most sense to me. The other option might be to have several different grab bags at once, as Melody has done in the past, divided into natural colors versus fantasy colors and maybe some third category. I haven’t participated in any of those, so I don’t know if they are more satisfying. But it does seem like grab bags should be for smaller pieces.

I am squeezing for anything in the beautiful cosmic shift colors that I missed out on when they came out….maybe a lap or hearth dragon or both❤️
I missed these also and would love a second chance — they are right in my color sweet spot!

That’s close, but maybe a bit lighter red than that. I don’t have a picture, but see this link to Wikipedia for a number of pictures:
