Breyerfest day 3: I did it!

 Well, day 3 of Breyerfest is over, which means Breyerfest 2025 is officially over. Whew! It’s been a whirlwind few days. But next year’s theme has been revealed - behold!

Photo shamelessly stolen from online. It’s a Scandinavian theme, so I’m hoping for an Astrid for the Celebration Model! I’m excited to see what else we’ll get for this theme. 

In other news, I achieved…well, one of my goals for today. Observe:

I managed to get all of the Seize the Day Surprise models! Huzzah! I’ll get better photos of them later. I actually only needed to trade to get one of them, which is pretty surprising. I definitely like the blue roan the most, followed by the decorator. I wish the blue roan had come in glossy! Oh well. I don’t think I’ve ever managed to assemble a complete set of surprise models by the end of the weekend before, so this is a first for me.

I’ll avoid posting a long screed about not winning the raffles yet again, except to say that apparently the universe hates me in particular. So I did some retail therapy and behold: 

The third color of Salud! I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned it here yet. He’s like a combination of the previous two colors, but the gray area is much more “spotted” than the solid gray one. I’ve seen him described as a roan, but I’ll be interested to see what Lesli Kathman says about it (she designed the colors).

The next Collector Club special run was revealed over the weekend also! Say hello to Juriaan!

 

What a weekend to decide to sell my Vermeers, huh? That’s a really nice color, although it seems like they’ll do anything to avoid releasing him in black. Maybe someday we’ll get a black one!

Also also, Stephanie Macejko from Breyer did a seminar yesterday and revealed this tantalizing image:

Wow, he’s thicc! Are we getting another new drafter already? I’m guessing this is a Premier Club release for next year - let’s hope we hear more soon!

That’s it for tonight! I hope everyone had a safe and happy Breyerfest and has a safe trip back home. I hope to see you all back here next year!
