My Collector Club Appreciation box arrived today, a day sooner than expected. Minus the fact that Latigo Dun It's box was crushed from the rather heavy special boxing of the Pony for Christmas (yes I was surprised by how much that little pasture potato weighed) everything arrived safely otherwise. Buckeye had some tiny pinpoint sized ear rubs but otherwise all models were almost flawless. I'm always satisfied with the quality of the regular runs that Breyer sends me direct from the factory. Thankfully I don't keep them in their boxes so the damage to Latigo's box didn't bother me, as I was still able to salvage his information card, but it was pretty bad. Take a look: My Appreciation model, however, was.............. .........Verdades........... This seemed to be the most popular model Breyer glossed according to Facebook groups and my luck is that I almost never get anything rare when it comes to gambler's choices. This is only the second time I've participated in the CC Appreciation, and ironically the first time they did the CC Appreciation deal and I participated, I ended up with a plain bay too. I don't know, but I was really hoping for an Enzo. There weren't many people posting Enzos on Facebook so it makes me wonder if it wasn't evenly split 157 of each model like previously thought. Oh, well. Maybe one year I'll get a keeper. Before anyone asks, I already had a waiting list from my previous post stating that I was going to sell him if I ended up with him, so he's already sold. I apologize for the less than mediocre photos of him below. If I planned to keep him, I would have removed him from the box as, alas, the Breyer boxes are not flash friendly and non-flash pictures came out even more blurry. Here he is for the short time I'll have him. The silver lining is that the money will help me to afford the end of the year memberships that I would otherwise have a hard time affording this time of the year, so it was a win-win in the end. I just want to see him go to someone who will cherish him. I posted a video of my unboxing on my Youtube channel if you guys want to head over there to see the horse a little better.
