I got a call from most local dealer to let me know she got in eight Kendalls. Due to delays still happening with Breyer, she said she wasn't expecting them until after the first of the year. By the time I drove the 2 hours to get there, she had literally just sold out. It was my fault though, I didn't know for certain if I was going to be able to go so I told her don't bother holding her, not realizing how many people were on the waitlist. The dealer told me she'd hold one for me if she got any more in and also put me on the waitlist for Mariposa & Flor (whom I never in my wildest dream expect to get because... Susecion and Le Fire... enough said) but I think it's safe to say that Kendall might be one I have to let go of too, just like Flamingo. This year ain't starting out well for me in the model horse world, y'all. Before today, I haven't purchased a single model since the start of the year. I did receive a DAH from Peter Stone but it was technically paid for last year. Stone hasn't been releasing too much lately, probably in preparation for their pet themed Stone Bowl this year, so I went ahead and purchased a couple regular runs from the flagship dealer I went to in search for Kendall: Battlefield Angel and a couple Unicorn Crazy blind bags. While Battlefield Angel is simply beautiful, and a heavy mold at that, I was super excited for what I unwrapped in the blind bags... I can't even... the rainbow Croi! I have been searching high and low for her for a couple years now, so to finally have her to add to my chase collection was a huge accomplishment. While this added a little sunshine to my otherwise disappointing day, I still have yet one more chase model to track down for my chase collection to be complete - the blue filigree Prince Charming - and I may have to give in to buying him second hand, or going without. I mean... I'm about done with chases, y'all. I'm glad Breyer took that nonsense to the Mini Whinnies series for 2023 because the stablemates have me drove nuts.
In other news, I will start customizing again soon. I've been making a room in our new house just for painting and my personal collection so I'm looking forward to using it. Comments are closed.
