Premier Club Stablemates, Sandman and Robin and Nestling!

 Exciting news today, everyone - first off, if you were a member of last year's Premier Club (and completed all your purchases), check your Collector Club account, because the freebie Stablemates (mini Fireheart, if you remember) are starting to ship! Be sure to check that they're using the correct shipping address, because pretty much anyone who sold their Firefly and Hawkeye sets and had them shipped directly to someone else, is now having their Stablemate shipped to that address. Including myself...so I attempted to call Breyer's customer service today, but only got an answering machine. Hopefully I can get ahold of them before my Stablemate ships! Good luck, everybody! 

In other news, the next Vintage Club release has been revealed - but won't be available to purchase until later this month. If you're a member of the Vintage Club, check the VC blog for more information. In the meantime, here's Sandman! 
















Smoky was used as the silhouette in the advertisements for this year's VC, so seeing him here isn't too surprising. That's a nice color, though - too bad I'm just not a Smoky fan. Now, if they'd just tell us what the rest of the releases are so we can stop wondering....

In other other news, the selections for Robin and Nestling went out today as well! Congrats to everyone that was picked - I didn't enter, so they won't be coming here. Hope they get shipped out soon!

Flock together, indeed!

 It's official, everyone: the Birds of a Feather web special theme is...still back, and here's the second release of the year: Robin and Nestling! 









They're cute! And piebald robins are things that exist (if rare), so the fact that they're pintos don't really bother me. What does bother me is that these photos look...really artificial? I'm not sure what it is, but they look really weird, like the gloss was added with Photoshop or something. There are 500 of these sets, so...I'm wondering if Breyer is going to have a lot of leftovers of these? They're nothing I need, so no competition there. I guess we'll see if they show up on the website later on, eh? Good luck to everyone entering! 

There was also a Vintage Club blog post today acknowledging the Cooper stamp snafu, so Kingfisher is definitely a future web special. Can't wait to see what he is! Could we be getting our first decorator Bird of a Feather? I hope so!
