We have a Breyerfest program!

 Good news, readers! Just when we were starting to get super bored…we now have a Breyerfest program! The power is out at our house right now, but feel free to peruse the program! Our raffle models for this year are Lady Phase (nice color, but meh) and Anamar (argh! Must buy raffle tickets!). 

Edit: Okay, the power is back on and I'm ready to roll. Here's the auction preview that was in the program! 

So the Five Gaiter, Rugged Lard Lark, Rhiannon and Rhemi, Hamilton and Huck are all appearing in the auction! Huzzah! That (presumably) knocks Huck out of contention for the surprise - I don't even know anymore, guys. I'm just hoping it's not Fireheart at this point.  Also, the Huck is supposed to be colorshift and holographic. I hope he looks better in person, because it didn't photograph well at all. Anyway, here are the raffle models! 

That is a nice color on the Lady Phase, but nothing I need. Not the case for the Sunday raffle, though - I'll have to buy plenty of tickets! I'm honestly kind of underwhelmed by these raffle models considering it's the 75th Anniversary. Oh well. Two weeks until Breyerfest! 

Breyerfest Program, Auction Lots and Raffle Models, Oh My!

 I've used that joke for a headline before, but I don't care. It was definitely an "Oh, my!" type of day, Breyer-wise. I'll start with the biggest news: the program is finally available! Sadly, we didn't get an epic every-auction-lot-ever accidental reveal like we did that one year (2014, I think), but it did have all that important information about Breyerfest we've been waiting for, plus...the reveal of this year's raffle models! Check them out: 

Lederhosen, on Troubadour, and Dirndl on the new Zafirah mold! I'll hold back any gripes about them using Premier Club models as raffle models the same year they debut (grumble) since it doesn't seem to change much. Though it was refreshing to have that not happen for at least the last two years. They're both beautiful! It does look like they've raised prices on the raffle tickets for some reason - maybe they're hoping slightly fewer will sell, since those raffle drums get pretty full. But it's exciting to finally see the raffle models! Good that they've been revealed earlier than last year's - that wait felt like it took wayyyyy too long. But anyway. We got three more auction models today as well! 

Be still, my heart. This is a "sun-faded bay pinto with somatic mutation" Icelandic. What a stunner! I bet he'll go pretty high. 

Ooh, a Missouri Fox Trotter as a "chalky shaded dun with two-tone green ribbons." You know, if you squint a little, he kinda-sorta looks like a big version of the Stablemate MFT that was in the 70th Anniversary blind bags (yes, I know that one was gray). 

And lastly, a "sunbleached bay frame overo mare and baby buckskin foal." Sheesh, these models must be spending a lot of time in the sun! Har har har, I'm so funny. Interestingly, while I'm still not a fan of the mare...if they came out with a release of that foal just by himself, or with another foal? I might actually buy it. I didn't want the Firefly and Hawkeye set purely because the mare just doesn't do anything for me, but the foal is another story. Kinda the opposite of Rhian and Cadell for me, really. Well, maybe at Breyerfest I'll find someone selling a Hawkeye I can inspect up close, eh? 

That's all I have for today - but maybe my Breyerfest tickets will come tomorrow! I hope so! Hurry up, mail!
