You can now choose your ticket types for BF special runs! Applies to 3 day ticket holders only. Store specials and the Celtic Fling specials are NOT included. Prices are actually decent. I thought maybe Breyer would increase prices to compensate for the free shipping, but I was surprised that most of them (minus the surprise who is always $85) are only $55-65 each. Apparently Thorn is the 50/50 split. Here is a screenshot of the break down: Since there are two I don't care for (I'm not fond of the mold or color of both Lugh Boudicca) along with two I'm kind of meh about, meaning if I end up with them, I'll keep them, but if not, I won't be tracking them down on the second hand market (Ash because grey is too overdone on the Othello mold and Thorn who has a color I love but is on a mold I don't care for) and because I would like to try for multiple surprise horses, I decided to go with the family list. Chances are I'll end up with duplicates since I have the top three on all my lists, but if I do, I will be offering them for sale.
I'm glad they made so many of Oak, the mare/foal set and Ash since they probably figured those would be the most popular. I wonder if I'll have better luck online than the horrible numbers I was picked in line at last year's Breyerfest? I had the unfortunate position of being near the back each time. The only reason I ended up with a surprise model is because I had the last ticket time on Sunday and there were only half as many people in line that typically were. From now on, that last ticket time will be my friend while most people try avoiding Sunday times to be one of the first to get their models. Me... I'm patient so long as I get what I'm after in the end. Comments are closed.
