Just as an update on the TSC Sayen model... they have changed it to a bay on the TSC website so apparently it was a mistake on Breyer's part to send them the wrong stock photo. The TSC model Sayen is for sure a bay, not a chestnut. I have contacted TSC directly to confirm this. It does make me wonder though if that chestnut is a future release that leaked, possibly a regular run for 2022? We should be finding out soon when the 2022 regular run models are revealed. Still no news about the gambler's choice for this year's Vintage Club, nor about the last two models for the Premier Club for this year, but Breyer has the audacity to show us this beauty for the 2022 Vintage Club whose name is Cooper. It seems like Breyer is putting the cart in front of the horse here, quite literally, because we're all on edge wondering if we'll even have this year's models before 2022 even starts! The communication gap really needs to be bridged... While I was kind of expecting the Vintage Club to open early this year due to finding out that the 2022 Collector Club was already available for membership, I was not expecting it this early. According to records last year, I didn't pay for my membership until November 4th. Of course, this year was my first year in the Vintage Club just because I needed Julius for my Georg collection, and so I paid a bit later than current members, but still earlier than usual. I guess Breyer not having much to sell right now is the blame for it. They've also increased memberships for the Vintage Club to 750 members rather than 500 so there should be quite a few memberships available to those who want to try to get in.
I actually don't have a single model on this mold, but that paint job is phenomenal! I always love me an older vintage mold with a modern paint job. I prefer it a lot better than vice versa. I'm also a sucker for leopard appaloosas, having quite a few in my personal collection. This horse reminds me a lot of Bilberry from the Berry Ponies Series last year. Has almost the exact same paint job. Considering that I tried for him and lost him, Cooper would make a good replacement, and yes he does come with the bareback pad and bridle shown. Since I'm not a tack collector, I will most likely be putting that up for sale upon his release. Since this is the 10th anniversary of the Vintage Club, Breyer said that there will be a lot more in store this year than what they're revealing. Anniversary years are always a treat so I'm making sure I don't miss this year. Current members have until October 11th to rejoin before it opens to everyone on October 12th (no exact time given). The cost to join is $100 with it being split up between 4 models so while the total cost of each model is $135, however since $25 for each model is used from the deposit, you only actually pay $110 upon each model's release. The Stablemate Club was actually started four years after the Premier and Vintage Club, so we still have a few years yet to wait but I'm sure they'll do something special for that as well.
