In my personal collection, there are only two vintage molds I conga... Misty and Lady Phase. Misty because I've always loved wild horses, and although Lady Phase is a stock horse, she was gifted to me by my parents as a child for Christmas so she's sentimental. She's come in some pretty colors over the years that makes her kind of hard to resist, and Jolene was no exception. I really need some more golds in my collection. The local stores here still don't have Jolene or Zeke but I did acquire Jolene through the help of a collector friend at a very reasonable markup so I'm blessed to have met some of the nicest people in this hobby. I went back to my local Tractor Supply for the other Ashton they had and have added him to my store for anyone looking for him. I charged the same rate my friend charged me for Jolene which is lower than the asking price on eBay so I'm passing the gesture on to anyone who wants him but doesn't have a Tractor Supply close by. Jolene is stunning and flawless. All the Tractor Supply releases this year were amazing, Zeke included, although he won't be joining my herd since I'm weeding out my Zippos. Right now my shelves are at max capacity so I need to be super selective. I received my shipment of Snowbirds yesterday, and will be shipping them out starting tomorrow. Just an FYI they are chalky. They don't look it in the stock photos, but it could be possible that the older picture with the lighter color didn't pan out so they just repainted them the new grey color. This is usually what happens with modern day chalkies. I like the textured look myself. These are all currently sold out, as I only purchased a dozen this year, and unfortunately Breyer doesn't let us order more. We had to put in our orders for the holiday horse by April of each year to be guaranteed, otherwise you're put on the waiting list for extras, if any are available. There's still quite a few more Collector Club releases to save up for, and if you're in one of the specialty clubs, you still have quite a bit to look forward to. I'm in all three and hoping that all the releases aren't on top of each other, but I have a feeling they're going to be if I know Breyer.
