I just joined the Collector Club (I know, I know... long time coming) when they were offering their Collector Club appreciation deal and they have already released a special run! This year's special runs are named Holly and Ivy. For $90 they are limited to 300 pieces total - so 150 of each color - making them really rare. Guess what? My funds are already wiped out from Christmas so I was unable to get one. I'm a bit bummed out about that because I joined the Collector Club to have access to limited edition models and I can't even buy the first one offered to me. At least I have Abdul to look forward to in the spring.
I've had a sneak peak of the 2016 regular runs and frankly I'm not too thrilled with the horses that are coming out this coming year. They are mostly plain colored horses. I will list them below.
I've decided to buy a grab bag on Breyer's website. I've always wanted to buy one just to see what it contains and since Breyer was offering free shipping, I thought why not? I really wanted the Kris Kringle one but that was sold out within a week so I bought the Elf grab bag instead. I have to say that I was a bit disappointed that there weren't many horses in it, though it would have been a nice mixture to give to my daughter, were she not so young to play with it. I will probably end up reselling most of it on eBay. For anyone that was wondering what was in the grab bags, the items I received were:
1) Eggnog the rocking horse ornament 2) Classics sized English show jumping set 3) Chelsea the 6" show jumper doll 4) Classics Thoroughbred/Quarter Horse cross 5) Classics Pippa Funnell's Magic Spirit horse and book set (my favorite!) 6) Horse Crazy stablemate |
