I have three updates to share with everyone. First off, one of the three Tractor Supply limited editions have been spotted at certain TSC stores (mine NOT included) and it is Sayen, who has been found in hand in solid bay, however speculation as to whether this model will be a 50/50 split is circulating because the horse on the TSC website is clearly not the same model. The one on the TSC website is a liver chestnut with two white socks and a blaze. Now this could just simply be that possibly Breyer sent them a stock photo showing a model that they were going to use, then for whatever reason changed their mind last minute to make it a bay instead of a chestnut, and TSC only seeing the model as a children's toy and not the way we collectors do decided to just use the stock photo anyways. Honestly I like the chestnut a lot more, so I'm kind of hoping there will be two colors, but an in-hand chestnut has yet to be seen. Either way, if you don't have a TSC store near you and would like to buy Sayen (TSC actually has her listed as "Sayan" in their title) you can purchase her at this link. Here is the stock photo on the website of the chestnut versus the bay: The 2022 club memberships have already opened up, and apparently the Deluxe membership was so popular the past couple years that it looks like it's here to stay. Included with the Deluxe membership for 2022 is Ellington, a stunningly beautiful bright bay tobiano Friesian cross on the Django mold. He will be included with the Deluxe membership only, $55 for USA and $60 for international collectors. Django is one of those molds I do conga (and I've actually almost forgot about the Alborozo stablemate we are supposed to get this year) so I will definitely be renewing my Deluxe membership. The regular Collector Club membership if you're not interested in the stablemate is still only $25 for 2022. As per usual they've shown the first special run in the lineup, whose name is Honeybear and is an equally stunning light chestnut tobiano Spotted Draft on the popular Georg mold. Ugh! This guy is just tugging at my heartstrings and is a must have for me as well. He will be available to both memberships, regular and Deluxe, probably sometime within the first three months of 2022. With the Collector Club memberships opening a bit earlier than usual, it makes me wonder if the club memberships (Stablemate, Premier and Vintage) will open early this year as well? I'm primarily more concerned with the Vintage Club since, after all, that one is limited and only available for a few days for current members to renew before they open it to everyone. The Stablemate and Premier Clubs are NOT limited and will be available for membership through the end of December. You must have a Collector Club membership though in order to purchase a Stablemate, Vintage or Premier Club membership. After the end of December, memberships close and will not be available again until the next year.
