Breyer is still cranking them out. If you go to their website and check under new releases (go to products then highlights) you'll see their new releases including the Black Beauty re-release on the Silver mold. It appears that, while this year Breyer was mostly concentrating on appaloosas, we usually get a little hint at what they're going to focus on for the next year at the end of the previous year, and this time it appears to be black horses going by the new Black Beauty, the unicorn mare/foal set and next year's Collector Club special run. The release date for Black Beauty is estimated to be November. If you haven't seen them yet, here they are: Honestly I'm surprised with the Fairfax gift set because of the fact that typically Horses of the Year are only released one year but it looks like Fairfax will be available for a little while longer. The final newest release is Nova, a Classics sized unicorn. Although he's meant to look like the sun, in my opinion he looks like a dragon. Unfortunately all the horses listed above are web specials, meaning sold through Breyer's website only and not to dealers, therefore I will not be getting them in. The wooden stables that I'm supposed to be receiving are confusing because Breyer apparently changed the molds and colors of the horses coming with their wooden stable sets. The unicorns appear to be a whole new set too instead of the blind bag ones they showed in the original stock photos as well as the stablemates and there has actually been three different sets of stablemates shown for the blue stable. The question is which set will it be? I really hope it's not the latest one shown because they really do look very cheaply painted. I won't know what the actual colors are until they're in hand, which should be soon since their estimated arrival date is November, but once I do, I'll surely let y'all know! So what's left? Well, we've just had the Collector Club Appreciation deal, seen the fall CC special run (Sassy), the Halloween Classics horse (Ratsputin), we got our Spooky Stablemates, our Wild Animal series lottery models, our web special pony (Honeybunch), our Classics decorator web exclusive (Christoff) and now the Classics unicorn (Nova). That leaves the holiday stablemates web special gambler's choice, the holiday mare and foal set, the holiday animal lottery model, the holiday lottery horse and the Santa Surprise. Still quite a few in store for us these upcoming months!
