Those of you in the Collector Club this year should be on the lookout for your annual JAH magazine. Several collectors have already had theirs show up to their door so it's only a matter of time. A few new sneak peeks have been had in the newsletter. First, the Stablemate Club first release is a mare and foal set. Collectors have been wishing for this for years, along with the vintage lying foal. Breyer listened and we'll see the Arabian mare with the foal next year. While they're cute, I'm going to wait and see what molds are going to be used this year before I decide to join or not. The good news is that the Stablemate Club prices are staying the same despite the Collector Club price and the other clubs going up. Vintage Club members... I have both good and bad news for you. The good news is that the club is being upped to 1,000 members for 2023 so those who have been wanting to join will have a chance now when memberships open up. The first release is a stunning black pinto with mapping (the first time ever for this club) on the Fury mold named Rustler who will come with tack AND is a music box. That's right! That knob on his shoulder plays music. Breyer is getting more creative with each year. Now the bad news... prices are going up. Models are hiking up an extra $10 each and the third model (I'm presuming the gambler's choice) will be $200 plus shipping. If someone is willing to pre-order Rustler from me through my store, as he's beautiful but not something I collect, I may consider rejoining the Vintage Club when it opens. If not, however, I won't be rejoining. The last two years I was in it, I only kept two. The same price hike is unfortunately happening with the Premier Club as well. The third release in the PC is hiking to $200 plus shipping. No idea why the increase on just one of the models unless they're now charging for the stablemate, although it makes me wonder if Breyer has something big planned for that release too, something to really "wow" us. I guess we'll see soon enough.
