He’s very handsome – and should be easy to repair! 🙂
I have a houseful of White dragons myself, and I think they come up for sale less often because the people who buy them really, really love them and don’t want to sell. 🙂

Well, if Melody painted 10 special Lap Dragons or Emperors or Scratchers in the prototype/test version of Black Violet Peacock, I’d be ecstatic!
I really really love the color of my BVP test OW and have longed for another like it. (The biggest difference is the absence of the lime green color: he’s strictly emerald/blue/violet, but there’s also more violet and probably a couple of other minor differences.)

These are so adorable – and it’s great to hear that G_B is still around!

Oh, what an awesome kitty griffin! The KG might be my absolute favorite PYO to paint; I need to finish up some more PYOs so I can buy more kittygriffins, since I promised myself no more PYO purchases until I finish some half-done ones. 🙂

Wow! He looks great in lavender. I not-so-secretly wish the eyes werent blue AGAIN! Lol. Lavender would have been a nice choice. Straw or orange would have been equally nice IMO. ( I have this “thing” about the eyes always being blue lol)
I wonder if there will be “Black Lavender Sunset” dragons.
Well, at least I’m not the only one with a not-very-secret “but why blue eyes AGAIN” voice inside my head. 🙂
This color looks so much like a Amethyst/Tanzanite cross, I did wonder if it started out with a painted-over Tanzanite piece; that would be a reason for the eye color…

Natasha took the words right out of my mouth – I’m in LOVE with the dodo! Extinct birds are one of my obsessions.
These are GREAT Drag0n! Thanks for sharing! That bird (dodo? Roc?) is AWESOME!

Oooh, yes, I have always loved White Noise!
I think it’s partly that his patterns are so well-balanced; I love both my Black Sunset and Blue Morpho griffs, but they have plain black butts despte being so colorful up front. White Noise having a pattern that extends onto his hindquarters make him really satisfying to look at. I love “Nettles” the raffle griffin for the same reason.

My daughter’s comment on Sir Garlen: he’s seriously underweight. Feed him!
Clearly he puts all his nutritional intake into growing those enormous horns!
Priorities, wolf friend, priorities. 🙂

Those old pieces are so cool, pipsxlch and Bodine!
I have an old Brown Male with no felt on the bottom; I’ve been keeping an eye out for a feltless old green Mother to go with him, but so far no luck.

The Amber eyes on that Brown hatcher are so neat! Even cooler than the tongue, which is pretty cute. 🙂 Does it have felt on the bottom?

Now I have to TRY not to refill it with more Windstones!
Isn’t that always the challenge! 🙂

I like the silver eyes, but green would have been pretty, too.

I sort of have a “hierarchy of needs” that determines how badly I want a piece. In rough order of what makes me “need” it:
(1) Love the Sculpt + Love the Color + Included Significant Meaning – ex. Prismatic Spring dragons & memories of family visits to Yellowstone
(2) Sculpt + Color match my main “Family” – my first Windstones were gifts, Western dragons in Rainbow & Emerald Peacock, and I’ve been trying to build a complete “blended” family around those pieces now that I can afford to buy my own
(3) Adore the Sculpt + Love the Color – ex. all the Pebbles in Silver Rainbow Sparkle! and the Leaf Cat Sconce, and Blue Morpho…
(4) Love the Color + Meh on the Sculpt – why I don’t have any hoofers yet, but holey moley some of those grab bags are *so* tempting…
(5) Love the Sculpt + Meh on the Color – why I don’t have any Orientals other than the Cool batch Young Ori GB…Huh, I’d never sat down and made a priority list before. I guess now I know why my Windstone budget keeps going off the rails, when I’m supposed to be concentrating on the “Family” pieces. I’m supposed to be saving up for an Emperor, and then new GBs and LPs that land in category (1) or (3) come out…
Oh, this is so cool! I wonder what everyone else’s “priority list” would look like?
I’ve never tried to lay mine out in words, but I’ll try:
(1) Sculpt + Color Matches One of My Color Subcollections
(1a) The basic priority here is for new sculpts: a new sculpt in the Western dragon family must be acquired in White, as long as I don’t strongly dislike it; for blended groups, acquiring a sculpt I don’t have takes priority over acquiring a new color on a ‘repeat’ sculpt. (Example: my top priority for the Oriental collection is a Moon Ori in any color that blends with the group, while second priority is a Peacock Sitting Ori, because I have 0 Moons and 1 Sitting in the Oriental subcollection.)
(1b) For me this category automatically includes “with significant meaning,” because my White dragon family is the foundation of my Windstone experience. For months I saved up money till I could buy the White Mother at Glass Menagerie, back when there were only six Western Dragon sculpts available. I could have saved less and bought the Young instead, but no – I wanted my first piece to be BIG and worthy of all that anticipation. 🙂
(2) Adore the Sculpt + Love the Color
This is where the congas come in. 🙂 If it’s a favorite sculpt, I want one in every color that I like! I’ll happily skip over colors I don’t like, even if I love the sculpt, and stick with the ones that I think are the most beautiful.
(3) Love the Sculpt + Meh on the Color
For me this one will come down to “does it fit into a subcollection or ‘partner’ with another piece I own?’ Otherwise I’m going to pass, because there will always be another color option eventually.
(4) Love the Color + Meh on the Sculpt
(4a)This one is the hardest to resist! I’m trying not to add any more subcollections, so mostly I just sit on my hands to avoid “accidentally” ordering it and tell myself I’ll wait till the color comes out on a different sculpt. There have been several failures, though – I couldn’t resist color shift when it came out, and two color shift Cougars arrived to induct me into Cougar conga-ing <i>and</i> into Pebble collecting!
(4b)There’s one exception to my “pass on this” response, which is ‘meh’ sculpts that match my biggest color subcollection. I have several ‘meh’ sculpts in White because they’re part of the family, when I would never buy them in any other color.Everyone else, how do you prioritize your acquisitions?

Not a squeak but a HUGE THANK YOU for releasing the Violet Flame Sun and Moon. Those were squeaks of mine for a long time now. Now if I could only get them in White
Seconding the big THANK YOU for this to Melody and the WE team for this release; I was so happy to see Sitting Orientals in a production color! I’m excited that this means the sculpt isn’t having any major casting or horn problems, and maybe soon there will be Sitting Oris in Peacock. 😀
