Anyone try to snag Brunhilde today? If you don't remember who she was, she was the fall Collector Club release who, like everything else this year, ended up getting pushed back. For this reason, now that they're finally getting shipments in, they've been cranking out the releases back to back to the point where it has been difficult for some to be able to purchase what they want. The same thing apparently happened with Burnhilde today. The website crashed for about 20 minutes because of the traffic of all those trying to get one, giving everyone a flashback to Breyerfest 2020. Due to production and shipping issues, I doubt they made many of her to begin with, and there are probably thousands of CC members trying to get something in hand after this hectic year. When Gingerbread sold out, I had someone ask me if I knew if they'd get in any more of her, but unfortunately I don't believe so. In the past, once the web exclusives sold out, they sold out for good. Now Breyer did make another batch of Sassy and Lafayette but they were Collector Club member exclusives. I doubt they'd make more of their non-member web exclusives. We're still waiting on the Classics clearware decorator, Baltazar, so keep your eyes peeled on him, as he'll probably be another quick sell out especially since the unicorn mare and foal, Diadem and Alcor, are now gone.
I don't know if 2022 will be any different, but I've heard from the shipping company I work for that also deals in international shipments from India and China that they're expecting things to start getting back to semi normal starting mid year next year. Let's hope they're right because this year has just been a drag. Again I don't blame Breyer at all for this, just the way the world is right now.

Shipping will get back to normal MID year!!! I was hoping you’d say EARLY 2022. I don’t look forward to another ~6 months of this.

Last year I contacted Breyer about Honeybunch, asking if she would be restocked, and they said no. they do not restock Pony for Christmas.

I almost wish Breyer hadn't announced when she'd be released beforehand. Their website is not built to handle several thousand people trying to check out at once, and I almost feel like more people would've had a chance at her if there hadn't been so many people on at 1 that the website crashed! I might be in the minority on this one- I was able to get one because of the forewarning, but it really makes me sad that so people didn’t end up getting one ☹️ I remember BF2020 all too well… was not pretty for some people. I haven’t been able to get a CC model since sassy, but I was a part of the people who bought one of the oversold models. Going back even further, Carter was the most recent one I managed to get, and that’s when I finally pulled the trigger to join the club. I wish there was a better way to get them but I’ve got nothing… Comments are closed.
