Another double post today because of so much happening. With Breyerfest just around the corner, everything is going to happen quickly. Now that we're nearing the end of the month, the June newsletter is here for Collector Club members. The giveaway is one of my favorites of the year, a complete set of Lancelots. Lancelot was a Collector Club gambler's choice Classics sized model. Breyer started this a few years ago with Calvin but haven't made one yet this year, unless it just hasn't arrived yet like the club models we're all still waiting on. I loved all three of these guys, although I ended up with the blue, whom I still have. The sneak peek was another glossy with a quote from Breyer saying they're on a glossy bay streak. I'd say so, as we've seen lots of them this year from the glossy CCA Orren Mixer paint to Robin and Nestling to Hope the Horse of the Year. Who will this be? So what happened with all the releases we were promised this month? Most likely the ship that was supposed to bring them didn't arrive yet. Although we still have a week before July officially starts, many of us are still waiting on either the Premier or Vintage Club models. Why are the Stablemate Club models still arriving on time but not the bigger guys? Well, the simple answer is that you can fit more stablemates on a boat. Most likely the Vintage Club will be next (unless they're having issues with the flocking) because it's a mold they used before. With the Premier Club model, they have to break the mold and weed out any issues before they can even paint them, so it's a lot more time consuming. The good news is, I'm hopeful we'll see the Arabian mare before Breyerfest because this was shown in the Breyerfest program: Dirndl is apparently on the new Arabian mold. While I thought about wearing a dirndl to Breyerfest to kind of set the mood, I think I'm going to pass. The things are tight as all get out and imagine trying to pull it off when you get to your hotel after Breyerfest when it's clinging to you from sweating like a hog? No thanks. The other model, Lederhosen, is definitely a model I need in my collection. He looks like a Rocky Mountain horse, a common horse here in Kentucky, and that color is just realistically lush! I'd love to see it on a Collector Club model that is available to everyone.
With the fourth of July coming up soon, Stone horses released a new surprise DAH pattern with fireworks similar to Times Square that Breyer made for Breyerfest 2007. However, Stone has added blue interference and glow in the dark paint. If you want one, he's currently on their website for $254.99 in limited molds. Be sure to check him out! Comments are closed.
