I honestly teetered about joining the Vintage Club last year because of flashy silver bay Rockford, but I decided against it due to the mold he was on. However, after seeing the final VC release for 2019, I'm kicking myself that I didn't. My personal take on the specialty clubs is that you should only join if you are a serious collector because chances are you won't get what you paid for it. I've seen this in my three years with the Stablemates Club and with the VC models I've bought on the second hand market. Anyways, the Vintage Club 2019 final release has just been revealed. Their names are Lillian and Molly a mare and foal set on the Thoroughbred Mare and Nursing Foal molds. Their coloring is described as buckskin, although it looks more like a sooty buckskin by the pictures, as the coloring is more greyish than yellow, so I'm curious to see what these two look like in real life. I definitely wouldn't describe the stock photo as buckskin, or maybe I just don't want to, since Breyer has been a little too buckskin happy (Bandelier, Rocket, Hakan, Sampson and Lucien) and dun happy this year. This horse is the first Vintage Club model for 2020. The name is not yet known. According to Breyer, for their 70th anniversary, they are "pulling out the stops" whatever that means, but knowing Breyer I'm expecting that they'll probably do something extra special this coming year. Although a lot of people were drooling over this horse, I'm personally not a fan. I am curious however to see what they have up their sleeves for this year, although I most likely won't join since the VC horses more likely than not don't sell for what collectors originally paid for them. Unlike the Premier Club horses that go up with time, the VC horses usually go down, except for the gambler's choice, just like with the Stablemates Club.
