The Vintage Club annual welcome letter arrived to my mailbox this week with some sneak peeks of upcoming models. A couple have me kind of intrigued. Here is a copy of the letter if you want to read it for yourself... We already know about the first release, Scorpion, the beautiful appaloosa, and the lamp pony on the Geronimo mold, Kirk, who is supposed to be one of the four main releases. There is also going to be a 1980s sculpture in "his" flashiest color yet (the emphasis on the his so it's going to definitely be a gelding or stallion) and a Marguerite Henry character. Now this is one of the ones I'm intrigued about, as I loved Marguerite Henry's stories as a child. The question is, who will it be? In the poster included with your membership it had this small section about Marguerite Henry: My guess is it'll either be the new Premier Club Standardbred mare as the horse from the Born to Trot book, or the new Premier Club Lipizzan Stallion as the White Horse of Lipizza. If it's the trotter, I'll likely keep her for my personal collection, but if it's the Lipizzan he'll likely be for sale, as I have no room on my shelves for that tall of a mold. I know many have been wanting a white Lipizzan so I'm leaning more towards that one, but we'll see! The final release, and I'm guessing the optional release, Breyer said will be "some tiny treasures to melt your vintage loving heart" so I'm guessing it'll be either a foal set, or Classics set. Most likely I'll be offering these to non-club members on the second hand market as well, so stay tuned later in the year if you're interested! Finally, the freebie will be the G1 Morgan in a vintage colorway. Since I'm more interested in the vintage molds on modern colors rather than the other way around, I will likely be offering this guy for sale as well in the near future. Finally, while I was on here, I did want to show off the VIP swag box that you get with VIP tickets. You’ll receive a holographic tote filled with super-cool merch to commemorate your trip to BreyerFest! In addition to your VIP wristband, your tote will have a 32 oz water bottle complete with drink sling, collectible enamel pins, a car sticker, a handheld light up fan, and a neon desk light. If you would like to get your VIP tickets, they are available through April 30th, or until sell out, but remember that early bird pricing ends April 15th so the VIP tickets will be going up next month. I'm really surprised these haven't sold out by now, but maybe they will now with the reveal of the swag box. People always ask me if the VIP ticket price is worth it, and honestly I haven't bought a VIP ticket since the very first year they were offered so I can't really offer much of an opinion. All I'll say is that if I didn't want to wait in the long store line, I'd definitely do it if there were limited editions I wanted. However, if you're more wanting just the special runs and not so much the store limited editions, I would stick with All Access.

I was trying to rack my brain and think of what MH character HASN’T been turned into a Breyer yet, and Rosalind from ‘Born to Trot’ was the only one I could think of. I’d be over the moon if it is indeed her on the new standardbred mare mold! Comments are closed.
