FB Dragon bead retirement?

Whilst perusing the FB website, I saw that the Coiling Dragon is retiring, too? Oh, dear!

Happy i have one

Glad I got my coiling dragon recently then! I wonder if I need to hurry to get my vertebrae bead

Oh, not sure I have that one....thanks for the heads up

I don't have that one and seems retired already....no warning about that....

I wanted to get some Scales, dragons and eggs, but can't get them for a while....

It says it can be back ordered ? Smaug ?

I think quite a few of us would like a chance to get one 

I need one!
Have been visiting the site for some time now to find out, when the silver standard version will be available again.
Can it be back ordered?

Oh dear, sorry about that! It is just the Coiling Dragon. To be frank this dragon is one of the hardest ones to do. Not that it will leave the collection entirely. We'll be doing new, redesigned editions of these. The Coiling Dragon is a pain to do decently. I often spend  nearly half an hour (extra, after my goldsmiths pre-finished these) to polish them properly, each. It is a combination of how we have to do the molds, the design and the finishing. If really wanted I can always do a few. But only as a special order. No worries.

Should we start a list ?  Maybe for next month after payday ?

Smaug, do you have a preview of the new dragon design?

No worries! Our scales design beads will remain in the collection. We are pleasantly surprised they have become even more popular due to the favorable comparison of our scales design with similar designs that were released by an other brand.

Oh I so want the coiling dragon x

Smaug I would love a coiling dragon, but couldn't order until after payday (I'm sure others are the same ?) could you make one last batch for us.........please ?
