Ha, I was right!

 Greetings, readers! Well, last month's newsletter sneak peek has finally been revealed (yay, I was right!) - say hello to Maya, this year's Freedom Series gambler's choice! 

Ooh, pretty! I like them all, but the roan one appeals to me the most. While they aren't exactly the same, the black appaloosa reminds me of Matrix, the roan reminds me of the roan Seven Arts Surprise, and the pinto reminds me of San Domingo. I have three of them on order to a friend, so hopefully between the two of us we can get all the colors we want! Good luck to everyone ordering! 

Westley, CCA models and club grab bags!

 Greetings, readers! I'm a day late with some of this news - oops. But anyway, the latest release in the Stablemates Club, Westley, is now available for purchase! 

I have 3 of them available for sale, so if you'd like to buy one, let me know. (As you wiiiiiiish!)

In other news, my CCA glossy has arrived at my parents' house. Behold:

Not the one I wanted, unfortunately (but the one I figured I'd get). I'll be looking for a trade for glossy Surfer's Riptide - hopefully I can find one! 

And lastly, emails went out today that Premier Club, Vintage Club and Stablemates Club grab bags are going up for sale tomorrow, including a Vintage Club Stablemates grab bag! These grab bags are nice if you missed out on prior years of the club, but I've been in the PC and SMC since their inception, so I'll be sitting these out as usual. They'll go up for sale "at or around" 11am EST if you want one! 

National Unicorn Day giveaway!

 Exciting news, readers! Remember that glossy unicorn giveaway Breyer did a few years back? Well, hold on to your hats, because there's another one (although he isn't glossy)! Meet Regulus! 

There's just one model this time, instead of three glossy sets. But in my post about the previous unicorn giveaway, I noted that they hadn't done a test run giveaway in quite some time and wished that they'd do another one...so, huzzah!  He's painted to match Rosalind and Rigel: 

I do still have my Rosalind and Rigel set in a box in a storage unit in Kentucky, but I don't think I'm eligible to enter for this guy since I don't live in the USA anymore. Oh well. Good luck to everyone entering! 

Is it that time of year already?

 Huh. Careful what you wish for, I guess? Well, I guess it's time for the Collector Club Appreciation event! Previously held in June and December, it's now been moved up to April. Speculation about Breyer's financial situation aside, it's time to see if you can find $175 worth of merchandise to buy (or just spend $185 for the model like I did)! Buyers will receive one of these four glossy models: 

I only want the glossy Surfer's Riptide, so I'm hoping I get him (I had it shipped to my parents' house to be inspected). I hope everyone gets the model they want!

New arrivals!

 Greetings, readers! While we slog our way through this seemingly-extremely-long period of almost no Breyer news, I've got some new arrivals! Huzzah! 

I managed to snag a few of this year's new Classics with free shipping on Amazon, and here they are! I haven't unboxed them yet because I don't have anywhere to put them, but at least they're here. Sadly, the clearware unicorn mare's horn broke off in transit, so I have to send her back...sigh. I've seen a few others on Facebook with the same issue - they should have made the box a little bit wider to accommodate the horn. Hopefully the next one isn't also broken! And let's also hope we have some new stuff to talk about soon. The next Stablemates Club model is due soon - maybe it'll come out tomorrow! 

April Fool!

 Well, readers, it's April Fool's Day (for a little while longer in North America, anyway), and Breyer came up with another clever April Fool's joke! 

From the Facebook post: 

Are your Breyer horses longing for a little extra style on their feet? Coming mid-year 2026, we're excited to introduce HorseShoes - the new accessory for equines who expect something a little more special from their kicks! 👟 The collection starts with a set of four athletic sneakers in Breyer blue and yellow, with more options to come in the future. What are your horses  looking for - boots? High heels? Cozy slippers? Let us know in the comments below!

Looks like someone sculpted them right onto the model's feet with epoxy or something! Cute, and not nearly as controversial as some past jokes. Actually, if they were easy to put on and take off, there might actually be a market for these with the kids! 

No sign of any April Fool's blind bags yet, but they've been known to come out after April Fool's in the past, so maybe in the next couple of days (although I don't think the last two series were particularly good sellers, so who knows if we'll get more).  

March Collector Club newsletter!

 Good news, everyone! The March Collector Club newsletter has been released! If you're a CC member, check your email for more information. This month's cover story is a digitized version of an old video from a Breyer Tour stop in 1996. There's also a giveaway of a set of bears, Breyer's spring sale event, and this sneak peek: 

Looks like something roany. It's a new release for Collector Club members, so maybe this year's Classic gambler's choice? Or more April Fool blind bags? Hope we find out soon!
