A Breyerfest order is on the way???
I hope so! Last week I got a tracking number for a 22 lb package from Breyer that was supposed to arrive last Friday according to my UPS My Choice app. Last Friday came and went but still no package and the tracking never did update again. Now it says cancelled but I just got a different tracking number, this time with a 12 lb weight, that is actually moving and supposed to come on Saturday. Anyone curious can sign up for My Choice if you have not. It's free to use so I highly recommend it for any Breyer purchases since UPS is used by Breyer for shipping. I will be using UPS to ship some of my own packages for Breyerfest pre-orders due to the fact that USPS priority only covers $50 unless extra is paid whereas UPS has you put in the item cost when you create the label. I honestly think this is why Breyer uses them too. Everything on both my primary and secondary Breyer accounts still shows as unfulfilled so I have no idea what will be included in this shipment. Since UPS tends to estimate the weight based on package dimensions and not actual weight, it could just be the rest of my VIP order, especially as my VIP box was estimated at 11 lbs when there is no possible way it could have weighed that much. I guess we'll see when it gets here. I have another 12 lb package on the way with my secondary Collector Club account that I made for the Croi gambler's choice this year though the Stablemate Club and I didn't purchase any store items with that one, only the special runs, so I'm wondering if it's not Dani that's coming since the weights are the same and I ordered the same amount of tickets on each account but not the same number of special runs (one of my tickets on my main account was actually not filled at all because they didn't have any of the models on my preference list left) so I'm thinking it's probably not my surprise horses. Actually, speaking of the elusive surprise, there was a rumor going around on Facebook that someone knew the person who purchased the complete set of surprise models and through them found out the mold, although no pictures were actually shown yet. Some people were bashing her for keeping it to herself but I completely understand why someone wouldn't want to reveal pictures. After all, I think if someone revealed all the colors then they'd spoil it for everyone, and that wouldn't really be fair. While there are collectors just about hyperventilating from the wait, others don't want to know, and for this reason I always give a warning before sharing surprise information. Please don't continue scrolling if you want to remain surprised but for those curious the rumor going around about the mold is... ...no seriously stop scrolling if you don't want to know... ...drumroll please... DUNDEE! This has me floored. I thought for sure there was no way they'd use that new and popular of a mold but the masses were correct, and I apologize for doubting you all. I completely threw out Dundee in my surprise guess for those reasons and because he is still in production as Peptoboonsmal. If this is true (again at the time this post was written we haven't seen photo proof yet) though I honestly see no reason to doubt the gal with the friend who won the auction, then I guess Breyer really did "pull out all the stops" this year. EDIT: Dundee is confirmed to be the surprise model! Several people got their boxes today and shared pictures. Actually, this really excited me because I just had a fan of my blog message me to offer me her Dundee after I wrote about how he is the last Premier Club horse I've been trying to track down. I'm happy to say that he is due to arrive next week so if Dundee really is the surprise model, I'm really wanting a conga on him. After all, I already have Carter and Peptoboonsmal as a start.
