Y'all we finally got the news in the April Collector Club newsletter that Shelby will be available for sale a day too late. He was supposed to be here by the end of April but now won't be available until May 1st, and because we've all been waiting on him for so long that we'll forgive Breyer this time for being off with their dates. I've honestly never heard a boy named Shelby (I had a Belgian draft as a child named Shelby but she was a mare) but considering that this is on the Nokota mold, who happens to be one of my all time favorite molds, and that I like two of the three colors, I'm hoping to score him for my personal collection. I posted the information above so you can see his pricing. He is available as either a grullo appaloosa, glossy bay (similar to Bolero) or a chestnut tobiano pinto. I'm hoping for one of the two flashy colors myself because I passed on Bolero and I'll really feel bad if I end up with his twin. I will grumble yet again about Breyer not letting us choose the color we want and turning everything into a gambler's choice because if I end up with the glossy bay, I'll be looking to find someone willing to trade. In other news, we have a sneak peek for the next Bird of a Feather series in the Collector Club newsletter: Looks like a sooty buckskin, similar to Altynai's color. The question is of the mold. I have no idea, and every time I guess I'm always completely wrong, so I'll leave that guessing up to you!
Speaking of the Collector Club, if any of you didn't get a chance to join the Premier Club for 2023 or joined, I have decided to offer my glossy Cancion model for pre-order in my Model Horse Store, and for a limited time I will include the artwork and sticker from this model. Once you pay the deposit, I will send you the artwork and sticker, as I have them currently in hand. As a reminder, Breyerfest 3 day tickets are only going to be available until May 14th or until sell out. It is hard to believe that that's already only a couple weeks away, so if you're planning on attending the event live, be sure to get your orders in. I will be adding a couple Breyerfest event stablemates to the Model Horse store, as I will have a few extras available if anyone would like to add those to their collection. They will only be available until sell out. Wheeler is a new mold so if you plan to conga the Haflinger mold, you'll want to get him. Shipping for stablemates this year is FREE. I also have some celebration models still available if anyone wants him.

Regarding Shelby being a girl's name, Carroll Shelby would like a word...perhaps there's not a lot of gearhead/horse collector crossover, but I took it as a play on the Shelby [Mustang] GT350 or GT500. Comments are closed.
