Breyer barely eeked in their Classics gambler's choice right at the end of the month. Coming right off of just releasing Notoriously Framed probably wasn't their best decision but they still went quickly nonetheless, and I actually almost missed being able to purchase. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Breyer doesn't cancel my order from them being oversold because they were literally listed as "sold out" right after I placed my order. I like that the last couple years, Breyer has removed the decorator from the Classics gambler's choices. I hope they keep it that way, because with Calvin and Lancelot, it seemed like everyone just wanted the blues. With the others you'd be lucky to even get your money back. The gambler choice for this year is named Slyder and comes in three different colors: sooty buckskin appaloosa, flaxen liver chestnut splash pinto and dark dapple grey. For the first time ever, they are all glossy, which is great, as I always seemed to end up with the matte ones. With Scotty I got the matte bay roan appy, Calvin was the matte chestnut and the matte silver bay with Callahan. With Lancelot I bought two which I got the matte appy and blue (finally!) and then with Nayati I also bought two. Although with Nayati I ended up with a glossy for the first time, I received duplicates of - yet again - the appy. I ended up selling one but traded the other for the blue eyed pinto, who is ironically matte and the one I wanted most. With how luck would have it, I will probably end up with the appy in this year's gambler's choice, who is my least favorite. I'm actually torn this year between the grey and the pinto, though I'm leaning more towards the pinto because of his blue eyes. Who is your favorite? Let me know in the comments! A second reveal was shown today from the Breyerfest blog on Breyer's website. Meet Blanca, who is a black and white version of Charleston (why are black and white horses always so elusive in Breyers?) and is the runner up prize model for the Best Customs Contest. He and Noir will make a good matching pair if anyone is lucky enough to win them. Old Glory has been shown in hand arriving to those who were lucky enough to snag him from Breyer before he sold out so us dealers should be getting him soon! He is actually really nice and my favorite of the patriotic models so far. Those stripes make a big difference. He'll definitely be worth the wait! Tick tock, tick tock. Come on, Breyer. Let's get this ball rolling!
