So I just received my last order of the year as a Breyer dealer. My next order won't be until 2021 when the new regular runs are released. Looking back I am incredibly grateful to Breyer for making me part of their team by accepting my application to become an online dealer, but especially to my many customers who have made it all possible and worthwhile. I'm happy to be able to offer you all these beautiful horses. Though I've had a few with damaged boxes (not due to Breyer's fault but the fault of UPS) I've thankfully not had too many horses show up with flaws, and the few I did have, I customized. It's been a good first year as a Breyer dealer, and I'm looking forward to many more years with their company :) One of my favorite things about being a dealer is seeing all the different variations of horses Breyer sends me. A good example were a couple that showed up in my order today. The grey Shire, who is normally plain (at least in my world of color though a lot of people like him) had some outstanding dappling. I've never had a Shire with such bold dapples from all the horses I've purchased, and I've had at least a half dozen so far that people have ordered from me. I even went through my first shipment of Shires looking for some difference between them... darker shading, dappling, etc. and found none. Well this time, I finally did end up with a variation. Look at him: Another one that I've purchased a couple before was EZ to Spot. The ones I got with my first order were bare plastic under the spots. The one I received with my order has some lovely dark grey shading on the upper half of his body and legs, almost making him look like a roan semi leopard rather than a leopard appaloosa. I saw a few people get glossies that had the grey shading during the CCA event but this is the first time I've seen it on a regular run... and I like it! I love to see Breyer up their game, as more times than not when regular runs are first released, they don't look the same as right before they're retired (both the Shire and EZ to Spot are retiring this year which is why I've received a cluster of people wanting them lately) because Breyer changes them slightly. Take Lil Ricky Rocker, for example. When he was first released, he was bare plastic as well. Recent ones have been pearly over the white areas. I saw on social media that there have been lighter colored, semi-glossy Winx floating around. They make so many variations of regular runs and they're so cheap that it's hard not to have several of the same horse.
While some are reserved for customers who have pre-ordered back in September (I apologize greatly for the delay and appreciate your patience) everything else is available in my web store. |
