The May Collector Club newsletter!

Well, leave it to Breyer to wait until the very end of the month (again) to release this month's Collector Club newsletter! If you're a CC member, check your email to read it. There's a fun story about Altynai's creation, another new My Collector Story, an Altynai giveaway, and another (groan) sneak peek! Suffice it to say I'm tired of sneak peeks...but I'll leave it at that. Here it is!



This is one of the upcoming Mid-Year releases that'll be revealed in June. What could it be? Looks like a shoulder/neck to me. This is probably a good place to talk about the supposedly-reliable rumor that the Saddlebred stallion Marc of Charm would be a Breyerfest store special on Hamilton. Obviously that store special never materialized, but I'm wondering if the horse's owners got a little confused about how the model would be released? Maybe he'll be a mid-year release instead - those models are typically first available at Breyerfest, so it's possible Breyer told them "He'll be available at Breyerfest," and then they (or we) thought that meant he'd be a store special. I mean, he's probably not this sneak peek, because he's not a roan, but it's definitely a possibility. Yes, the palomino Hamilton is part of the 70th Anniversary Collection right now, but that will probably only run until the end of the year, so it wouldn't be a big deal if the two releases overlapped for six months. I certainly can't wait to see this year's mid-year releases!
