Two posts in a day is a rarity for me, but there were a couple of new developments that I must share. As most of us in the Breyer clubs know, we're expecting all three club releases this month. The first, the Stablemate Club release, is now available. Shelburne is next in line, the glossy dappled buckskin/dun Charleston, and was the model I was teetering on. I have put him up for sale on my website if anyone wants him who is not in the club, but if he doesn't sell by the end of next week, I'll probably just keep him. While we wait for the Premier and Vintage Club models, Breyer has announced some exciting news for virtual Breyerfest attendees. They will be offering a limited amount of special runs to virtual tickets holders but you will be limited to only ONE model no matter how many tickets you've bought (NOT one model per ticket if you've purchased mutliple tickets) and, from what I understand, it will be a gambler's choice, meaning you won't be able to choose exactly which model you will receive. While this was extremely nice of Breyer to offer that, in person attendees are now in a tizzy because Breyer originally announced that leftovers would be offered on Sunday.
My assumption? With rising gas prices, inflation, COVID-19 still a very real risk and the fact that they really upped the amount of models that would be offered this year, in person tickets haven't sold as well as they did in previous years, so Breyer is most likely going to have a lot of extra models. Meaning, even if you attend in person, there will still most likely be extras to be had. Breyer probably totalled how many special run models they had after people submitted their picks (some people could have only chose one model if they wished) and realized they're going to have a lot more extra models than they originally anticipated. The good news for in person attendees? Hopefully that will mean we will get most of our top picks. Breyer hasn't yet announced when they will be shipping out ticket books, but it should be soon since we're already at the middle of June, and they said they'd ship some time in June.
