I’ll put you down for first offer, GB!
I don’t really know what he’s worth; I don’t know how to stroke eBay to have it spit out many prior auctions. The only ended ones I found were for a prototype and a peacock.
I’m really hoping someone with a green fledgling would like to make a partial trade, but if not, I’ll sell him and make an offer for a fledgling…Today my mother found a Christmas present she’d gotten me years ago and forgotten- it’s an emerald Old Warrior. He’s been forgotten in his shipping box all this time, poor beautiful guy!
My question is, I can’t afford to collect multiples of a single mold, so I’ve just looked to get each mold in my favorite color for it. And of course, I already have my empea prototype OW. (I know the molds are slightly different, but there are so many out there I don’t have at all…) So I was thinking about trading or selling the emerald production OW, and using the money to get something(s) I don’t have. What do you think? What is he worth roughly? Anyone interested, or should I eBay him (like to see a collector get him)? What about as a trade? (anyone with a spare green fledgling and some-kind-of-green curlie lol)
Here are his pics
Another is there a spare? My boyfriend proposed this week, so I’ve been rather distracted and haven’t been online at all and never saw them. The original green is my favorite color.
Know everyone probably disagrees, but I wish some of these prototypes (fledglings, curlies etc.) would come up on regular auction so that those of us who can’t be online at the right times might have a chance to bid. I’d have gladly paid more than $100 for the fledgling, or $60 for the curlie.
OH SUGAR HONEY! If it’s 2:41 in TX it was 3:41 here, but I work overnights and did the night before so was sound asleep. I’d pay a lot more than $60 for one of those emerald babies (or a green one)!
Will this have been the only batch of emeralds to be produced?
Is there a database somewhere with pics of all the molds that have been released, especially retired?
(to help inventory what I haved and planning on blowing some income tax money, and my birthday’s coming soon, so I could show the pics to others)
but…I have the emerald peacock prototype OW… 🙄
Of course, mine will always be super special to me, even if they mass release empea regular OWs. And I absolutely do NOT plan on selling him ever, so where his value goes doesn’t really matter.I’d like to see the Secret Keeper and curlies, in some shade of green please! And I LOVED that larger PYO done by Melody! (that was a lovely green to boot, excellent paint job)
I’m really not sure how you’d pronounce the name myself, pipslick? It’s from my departed heart dog named Pip, and my motorcycle (a Harley ’74 XLCH 1000- she REALLY wanted to ride it, but she was pretty big and I never got a sidecar or even big luggage rack before she died)- it’s just what I’ve used since I really learned how to come online.
The OW was a present from my mother- not really a surprise (except for what she was willing to spend) since she used my eBay account, but truly splendid nontheless. And she’s hinted around I can pick out something else for myself for my birthday!
(actually the Orientals are hers, 1 I got for her. And I’m eyeing a ki-rin and baby Oriental for her).
Wow, more in the green, I really did like that color… I have the fledgling in emerald and can’t afford multiples of a single sculpt, but I’d sell my emerald one for that.Hello, new member pipsxlch here, so everyone knows I’m not a bot lol. I hope to soon start adding to my Windstone collection and want to find out what’s out-only now has a retailer in my area opened which carries them even (last one stopped several years
ago). I’ve had most of them packed away the last few years while my daughter was little (to save her from death if she damaged them), but maybe she’s old enough now to start unpacking them.
I got my first ones- the mom, dad and hatching baby dragons- 20 years ago from a little gift shop in Cocoa FL. They’re in the (olive) green, and I still have them. Can’t beat the $25/each adults and $20/baby they cost me then!
My favorite color is the matte olive green that my original sculpts came in- I have several other pieces in it, though I switched to the emerald when the olive was no longer available. I like green for the dragons, only non-green one I have is a peacock Oriental dragon (though I think peacock works for the Spectrals). I’ll go for the emerald peacock on new pieces.
I’d have a hard time picking my fave sculpt, though I really like the Secret Keeper in the pics (don’t have one). I do have a soft spot for my prototype Old Warrior though, and my Scratching Dragon, the Lap Dragon is nice, and my original 3…
My most recent piece was a Christmas present last year- the prototype Old Warrior in the emerald peacock hybrid color, and with a sketch from Melody on the provenance. WOW! Best gift ever! My most treasured thing, maybe even over the motorcycle!
Well, ,that’s it. Only piece I have a pic of is the Old Warrior, though I can take a pic of the Orientals, Emperor (and egg), and Scratching ones too. Others are still packed up (need to get out and inventory so I know what ot buy lol!).
