Thank you! That was quite the surprise! We haven’t had the site crash in quite a long time! Please join the waitlist for this guy. Thank you!
And just as a reminder we have Item #13 in the Forum Rules and Guidelines:
“Don’t post pictures of repaints. Repainting a non-PYO Windstone is not illegal, but Windstone Editions strongly discourages it and does not support repaints as they create confusion about Windstone’s official products. We ask that you not post pictures of non-PYO (Paint Your Own) repaints on the Forum. Furthermore, you may not offer (for sale, trade, etc.) non-PYO repaints or offer to repaint a non-PYO Windstone using this Forum. Note: Repairing and restoring damaged Windstones to near factory condition and color is not considered “repainting”.”
Thank you for following the rules!
The Grab Bag sales have officially ended. Any leftovers will be auctioned by us on ebay at a later date.
I can confirm that the only “Natural” colored Sitting Red Foxes were a grab bag edition in 2015, as per the class photos that Etruscan has posted. Thank you Etruscan! -Susie
The first round of emailed passwords for the Supernatural Safari Resting Ponycorn Grab Bag edition 2024 have been sent out. Everyone who has received an email has until (and including) June 17, 2024 to place their order. Anyone who has not received an email is at the end of the list in the portion that hasn’t been sent out yet. After June 17th has passed, if any ponycorns are still available, emails will go out to that number of people who are at the end part of the list. (for example, if 10 remain, we will send the first 10 of the remaining people a password)
As to filling the orders, this is going to take some time, but we are working away at it! Thank you for your patience and cooperation in our efforts to make this a fair grab bag.
Thank you to everyone who signed up on the waitlist! The list has now closed. When we are ready, we will begin sending the ordering instructions to those on the list – this process will take some time, and after you receive your ordering instructions you will have some time in which to place your order – no need to rush to order when you receive your email. As you know, these are one per household and duplicate entries will be automatically removed. There will be no shipping to other people or addresses, only to the person who is on the waitlist and is placing the order. When you receive your emailed instructions, please read them as they may be different from past instructions.
Class photos will be posted – I’ll remind Melody about those. Thank you!
The Grab Bag is not ready yet! Melody asked me to advise you of what we can about when the “Supernatural Safari” Grab Bag Edition of Resting Ponycorns will be available. We have had various things delay them, as is usual with our Grab Bags! I cannot tell you when they will be ready but several things must happen before they can be. It will definitely not happen this weekend.
The most important problem we must overcome is that we must be able to easily make USPS Postage Labels for the orders! We normally make those via Paypal however right now we cannot make USPS Postage Labels for orders paid for with credit or debit card due to an issue that Paypal is working on correcting. We are hoping that Paypal will resolve this problem quickly. We are exploring alternative ways of making the labels – Pirate Ship is one of the ways, USPS Click N Ship is another (but it hasn’t been working right either!)
We are also working on another new kind of Wait List for this Grab Bag. There will definitely be a wait list that you sign up for first, and then those on the list will be notified in random order with a password for placing their order. These details are still being sorted out.
When we put the waitlist up we will be sending out an email announcement to let you know via our email newsletter announcements . You sign up for these newsletters through the “Stay Connected” Newsletter Subscribe button at the bottom of our website pages. That will be the quickest way to receive the information. We will also make announcements on Facebook and here in the Forum – however I strongly advise you to look for the Email Newsletter Announcement because we might forget to put the information elsewhere. When the waitlist goes up, there will be a big chance that if everyone tries to sign up at once that our site may crash for short periods due to too much traffic. If this happens, please step back and give the site a bit of space before pressing more buttons. We cannot fix it if it crashes, we just have to wait for it to recover.
I know that these will be one per customer however those details are not completely settled – the rules may be different from in the past. When you receive the information about ordering you will want to read it all. I do not know how many there are yet, however its a pretty big batch.
That’s all I can think of right now. Please relax and have a lovely weekend! -Susie
When these have sold out, be aware that more are in the works! Please join the waitlist for the next batch coming up in a month or two.
This raffle has ended and I have emailed the winner. I have not heard back from them yet – we cannot announce who it is without their permission. Check your email!
We have had someone let us know they had received a phishing scam notice on Facebook telling them that they had won the raffle – that is not from us. If you receive a message through Facebook or any other means other than an email from me – please confirm with me at service@windstoneeditions.com or phone us at 800 982-4464 to check on it. Thank you!
Our ebay auction for the Bantam Dragon in the green “Celtic” color has the wrong words with it. It is indeed a green Celtic colored dragon – not a blue Galaxis colored one. We apologize for this error!
Now that we have been using the Password Protected Re-stocks for a while, I want to update that this is a way we restock SOMETIMES – not every time. There are a number of factors that we consider which help us determine if we should do a Password Protected ReStock or just restock the usual way. The usual way means that an email is sent to everyone on the waitlist with a link to the item so that they can order it. Either way we do it, you will receive an email from us advising you when the item is available to order. If you are not ready to order it when the email comes – you may need to re-join the waitlist for that item after it sells out.
If you have emailed to enter the February raffle after receiving the announcement about it and received the response that January’s Raffle was over (instead of the thank you for your entry for Feb), I apologize! I forgot to tell Melody the announcement had gone out and she didn’t get her automated response to the raffle entries changed over to February in time for people to begin entering. She DID get your entries though, even if the response didn’t sound like it. The email entries are landing in the right place and you’ve been entered. I apologize for the confusion.
