Tomorrow, we will be making the 2 hour trek from our home in south central Kentucky to Lexington. I still remember the first time I ever went to Breyerfest. That memory of being so full of excitement that it brought tears to my eyes when entering the park and seeing the thousands of people from all over the country that flock to this event all in the name of our hobby is absolutely amazing to me. You can probably find a license plate from every state in the parking lot. I've even met some people from Europe, and made many lifelong friends along the way. Seeing the smiles on the faces of first timers, usually children but you'd be surprised to find out how many adults are there for the first time as well, is unmatched by anything. No matter how many times I go to Breyerfest, my inner child is always released when I go into the Breyer store for limited editions and other goodies I may find. While I do love doing pickups for y'all, if you ever get the chance to go in person, please do. There is absolutely nothing like it in the world. There is no way I can explain it to you in words. You must see it for yourself. I hope to share my experiences through my blog in pictures I take so all of you at home can watch from a distance. I know a favorite that people from afar like to see is the Collector Club tent, where Breyer often has several sneak peeks and reveals for upcoming models. Breyer has already shown a couple new reveals via email today: Adonis, the second release of the Premier Club, and Tuxedo, the optional 5th release for the Vintage Club. I'm curious to see how tall he's going to be (my shelves in my house aren't very tall and this is why I don't collect the Silver mold) but the fact that he's a buckskin is already making me lean more towards keeping him. The reason I love Heather Puleo art so much is because she does her research on bloodlines in a breed and isn't shy about flashy colors. This guy is a historical Lipizzan from the Conversano line performing the courbette. Heather even adds that he's in his prime, meaning a 15 year old stallion. Tuxedo will for sure be available for sale and will come with one of three sock variations. In addition to seeing all the Collector Club reveals, any variations amongst special runs will be shown as well if I end up with any, or a written description of any discovered variations if I don't. In addition, I have posted some models for sale in my store from Breyerfests of the past, so take a quick look if you're looking to add something to your herd :)
Let's drive forward to Breyerfest Driving Forward and the reveal of the 2024 theme on Sunday night!
