So there is an auction!

Good news, everyone! Breyer released some information about this year's Breyerfest Live auction today. First off, it's taking place....on eBay. Groan...well, there went my hopes of being able to afford anything this year. But look on the bright side - I guess Breyer will have plenty of money to donate to charity this year! Fun stuff.

So the live auction items and silent auction items will all be viewable on eBay starting next Thursday, but they haven't said when the auctions will actually start. I'm guessing they'll just be one-day auctions and lots and lots of people will be hovering over their eBay screens at the end of the day on Friday? That'll be a madhouse. I suppose they won't all end at the same time either so people can bid on more than one item.

Anyways, here are some of the auction lots! Check out this yummy glossy buckskin Zippo Pine Bar:

Looks like someone forgot to crop that image before they posted it. Oh well! Here's a dark bay overo pinto Salinero:

And here's an amazing Hermosa and Corazon set:

Here's one of the silent auction lots, an etched-and-glossed Voyeur:

And a painting by Jane Tilton, who usually has a workshop at Breyerfest every year:



Cool stuff! I can't wait to see the rest of the auction items! Can't believe we don't have that much longer to wait.

In other news, the mid-year releases are now available on Breyer's website. Or at least, most of them...the new blind bags are already out of stock and Apparition is still marked as "coming soon," but you can still order the rest of them, and Crystalline if you never got one of those. Yay!
