A couple big announcements. Firstly, Breyer was supposed to close the window on in-person Breyerfest tickets yesterday. Apparently they updated the ticket purchase date to May 22nd or "while supplies last" most likely in hopes of selling out all the tickets. As of the time I write this post, general admission and all acess tickets are still available for purchase but VIP sold out a while ago. They have not given a date as to how long online tickets can be purchased.
Now for the biggest information we've been waiting for... the special run selection process. Here is the email Breyer sent today: "Effective immediately, there is no need to prepay for your Special Run models! The Reservation process will remain the same. All-Access ticket holders (including those who already bought AA tickets, as well as those who will buy AA tickets by May 22nd) will receive a Preference Form to rank their top choices for the exclusive Special Run models. Keep an eye out for that Preference Form link; it will be emailed to you after May 22nd. Two models (per AA ticket) will be selected based on your preferences, and Reservation tickets for those models will be added to your ticket book. For all AA ticket holders, simply present your Reservation tickets at the Model Handout tent before 2 pm on Sunday and complete your purchase onsite." This means that there will be no changes to the way I had intended to do pickups. Those of you that pre-ordered pickups from me, the timeline will stay the same. You all have already put down your deposits earlier this year to help pay for ticket costs and a small pickup fee for expenses to drive to Lexington to get your models. The rest (the actual cost of the model) will be due on July 1st as originally stated. Please see my Model Horse Store if you forgot how much you need by July 1st. You will have 3 days to pay so be on the lookout for that invoice. If you paid with Paypal, I will invoice you through Paypal. If you paid via credit card, keep an eye on your email for an invoice to be sent to you to complete your purchase. IF ANYTHING CHANGES (YOUR EMAIL, ADDRESS, ETC.) PLEASE EMAIL ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WITH YOUR UPDATED INFORMATION. Why do I only give 3 days to pay the second payment? If people don't pay, I need to fill that spot for that model, so if your second payment isn't received by midnight on July 3rd, you forfeit your model and I will resort to the waiting list to fill your spot. Waiting list people will be contacted as soon as I know how many extra models I will have once the preference list is chosen. BREYER HAS NOT YET SET AN EXACT DATE THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN but I will surely update once I know this information. Shipping costs will be invoiced to you the Monday after Breyerfest when I get home and can weigh each package for an accurate cost, as many people pre-ordered more than one model from me. Although I'm giving up to a week for this final payment, the sooner you pay this, the faster I'll be able to get your models to you :) Even if I do end up with surprise models on my preference list, they will not be offered for sale until the Monday after the event. Why? Gambler's choices are always a risk and I don't want to take the chance of someone getting a color they don't want, then returning it just for that reason. I always wait until after Breyerfest to offer them when people can pick and choose their color. Just makes it so much easier than selling them blind. As long as this process goes smoothly, I will continue offering Breyerfest pickups each year. As always, if you have any questions or if something isn't clear, feel free to reach out to me through my Contact Me page. P.S. Although my Ukraine benefit sale for April is now over, I have started making some Ukraine customs, which I have just posted on eBay. They are selling fast though, as I know many of you have been waiting for them to be. If you miss these first customs, I do have a few more that will be finished next week so keep an eye out for them. The reason I chose eBay for this is because it is easier for me to send the money to Nova Ukraine through eBay rather than if I sold them on my website. All the proceeds I made for Nova Ukraine in April and May will be sent over to the charity on June 1st so I'd like to thank everyone for helping a great cause. Comments are closed.
