Well this is a new one! Apparently Collector Club Appreciation Day was last week, and by chance we were so busy with projects around our new place that I actually missed it, as it ended earlier today. It makes me wonder... that sneak peek we saw in the Collector Club newsletter that never transpired, and then again in this month's newsletter... is that the glossy Orren Mixer? If it is - which I now suspect it is - then I wonder if we will be getting a Classics gambler's choice after all? Usually Breyer releases it by now, however supply is still being affected since Hope has now been pushed back until August after originally saying a June release. But a Collector Club Appreciation Day now right before Breyerfest? The March/April date would have been much better, as I remember a lot of people complaining about it happening right before Christmas, but in June most people are saving for Breyerfest, not just the models but the rising gas prices as well. A lot of people are rethinking their plans to Breyerfest and cancelling their trip. Although Kentucky has some of the lowest gas prices in the country, we are still almost $5 a gallon in the rural parts, and over $5 a gallon in the big cities, Lexington included. Having the CCA event now seems a bit strange with most of the regular runs being sold out, and the rest are probably being kept aside for the Breyerfest store. Anyways, whether you participated in the CCA event or not, you had to buy $150 worth of regular run merchandise and here were the glossy models: I'm not too unhappy about not participating. The only one I really like is Theo, and since I already have him in matte, I don't need a glossy. Actually I have all of them in matte except Tiz the Law, whom I hope to get eventually since he's a cousin of my own OTTB, and he's probably the one I'd end up with. I only participated in the CCA event twice, and both times I ended up with the bay horse. It turned me away unless they happen to offer a year of flashy horses. I'd love to have that new Bristol regular run coming out in a glossy one day. More than likely he'll eventually become a CCA model.

I think they had the CCA now to help finance BF. They were obviously planning on the BF VIP tickets & making everyone prepay for their models to come up with the money but that didn’t work out. Ticket sales were slow & they had to back off making everyone pay for their models up front so they came up with this. Comments are closed.
