Slainte Surprise Numbers and July Collector Club newsletter!

Exciting news today - we got the reveal of the Slainte Surprise numbers! They are as follows:

Golden palomino - 800 Matte, 325 Glossy
Bay leopard appaloosa - 800 Matte, 325 Glossy
Silver dapple black - 800 Matte, 325 Glossy
Red roan pinto - 800 Matte, 325 Glossy

Interesting that all the numbers are even this year, and the glossy numbers were upped substantially from last year (200). This should at least even the playing field for finding them on the secondary market later, although I imagine some colors may still be more desirable than others. Well, maybe I won't have to spend an arm and a leg to get that glossy appy after all! Speaking of the appy, it looks like she was intended to be a bay after all, rather than black. And the palomino is not just palomino, but GOLDEN palomino! That ought to make her more desirable, right?

In other news, the July collector club newsletter is out (waiting until the last minute again, I see). Check your email to read it (if you're a CC member!). Exciting stuff! There aren't any sneak peeks this time, but Breyer is giving away 5 celebration models from this past Breyerfest, rather than the usual one giveaway.

Also, look at this cool test Stablemate!



It's an alternate colorway of Tiki, the event Stablemate from the 2011 Sunshine Celebration collector event. Also known as the event I'll forever kick myself for not attending (I was drawn from the waitlist for tickets, but didn't have anyone to go with, or money to go, and didn't want to go alone...sigh.) Oh well - there'll be more collector events, I'm sure.

Well, it's almost August - hopefully we get to see this year's Tractor Supply models soon!
