Breyer has extended their FREE shipping for this weekend, starting today, so if you missed out on FREE shipping last weekend, now is your chance to get it again! I scoped up their daily deal today, which was on Foiled Again. I'm not fond of the mold but he is a portrait model of a much beloved racehorse of mine and was on sale at a really good deal, plus you got his stablemate model FREE with him and FREE shipping! I'm not sure how many of the stablemates were made but they gave them out at the Hambletonian with each child admission. In other news, Breyer held some good deals this past weekend that I took advantage of. For Collector Club members, they offered Charlie from the Vintage Club. She was available for $145 and I snagged her while I could. Now I'm happy that I did. She is beautiful in real life and I don't have an appaloosa in my herd. I also bought the three mare and foal sets with Breyer's FREE shipping offer. I really wish that Vixen and Blitzen were dappled bay pintos or at least give them tri-colored eyes. I had this mold once and actually the remake of it looked a little smaller, but otherwise I'm happy with these two. They are better looking in real life than their picture on Breyer's website shows. Eve and Claus were my favorites. I really love their coloring. If I had to choose one of the three sets, I was going to just get this one. Luckily I had enough for all of them. When I saw these two online, I thought these were probably the ones I would like the least, but actually they turned out to be my favorite of the three sets. I love the shaded coloring on the mare and the foal is adorable too, but it was the beautiful realistic dappling on the mare that sold me with them.
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.
