My last CCA order is here!

 Good news, everyone! My last Collector Club Appreciation box came today, in a huge box! About 10 minutes after I checked the tracking this morning, I glanced out the window and saw the UPS guy coming with a huge box on his shoulder. Ooh! 

I didn't get photos of the rest of the order (Get Rowdy, Carltonlima Emma reissue, Palomino Classic Mason x2, Poetry in Motion Stablemate set, Horse Foal Surprise set), but here's my third and final glossy model:

That's right - glossy Peptoboonsmal! Huzzah! I went ahead and unboxed him along with everything else since I didn't end up getting any duplicates. I was hoping really, really hard that I wouldn't get a second Sjoerd. Based on the reaction I've been seeing online, it might have been hard to trade another one for something else! But all's well that ends well. Now I'll just have to see if I can find a glossy Adiah to buy or trade for at Breyerfest! 

Speaking of Breyerfest...where the heck are the auction models?! I want more, more, MORE! We leave in 26 days, for Pete's sake! It'd be nice to see the program too, honestly. I just want more! Maybe tomorrow they'll give us something...

Lots of new reveals today!

Hello, readers! First off, as you may have noticed, Featured Model was on hiatus last week. I guess I was just enjoying having the weekend off from work so much that I completely forgot to write a new post. Oh well!

Anyway, I'll start with the reveal of the last Breyerfest special run for the Fling! Souvenir Shop: a Mini-Raffle Stablemate set! Huzzah!

All I can say is: YES PLEASE!

Okay, I can say more than that. These are amazing, especially the mini North Star! I love it. And this is series 1...so there are going to be more! These models are mini versions of the raffle models Carlisle, Viajero, Windswept, North Star and Que Sera Sera. Great idea, Breyer!

Next, the mid-year releases have been announced:

Peptoboonsmal on Dundee!



Checkers on Latigo! Nothing I need, but look at that rich chestnut color!



Apparition - the 2020 Halloween Horse! Interesting concept, but also nothing I need.



Adiah HP, the previously-announced pinto Totilas!



And, last (and least, honestly...for me anyway)....more blind bags.



You'll have to excuse me if I'm not terribly excited about these, because I'm tired of blind bags as a concept. Fortunately, I only want two of them (the mini-Brishen and mini-Emma). I'm also not excited about the chase piece and "super-chase." Just what I want; yet another, even more-impossible-to-find chase! And it's probably a mini Othello to boot. Yawn. I'll get the Brishen and Emma secondhand rather than give Breyer the satisfaction of ordering any of these. Bleh.

That's all I have for today! Hopefully we get more Breyerfest news soon! I'm anxiously awaiting the email where we make our Breyerfest model selections!
