VIP swag bags and April Fool!

 Greetings, readers! Well, I meant to write about the VIP swag bags yesterday, but completely forgot about it, d'oh. So anyway...VIP swag bags were revealed yesterday! 

As usual, most of it is pretty meh. Looks like the trend of only 3 VIP pins instead of 4 is how it's going to be from now on. But wait a second, there's something funny about those pins...

It's hard to see, but the Croi has the same pattern as Get This Party Started, with the light/dark colors reversed. Could this be the micro run we've been waiting to see? But what are the other two pins? Belesema Sapphire and Tight Lines are portrait models - those don't get variations. But...a blue Belesema Sapphire? Sapphires are blue...this can't be a coincidence. These alternate colors have to mean something! Remember last year when the VIP pin of Fight Song had the alternate tail and we all (more or less) wrote it off as nothing? But why is the Cigar red? Normally the portrait models don't get variations, but it's not like it's The Law that it couldn't happen. And we all know Breyer loves to break their own rules, right? 

Well, who knows what's really going on, but those pins mean something. And it's going to be torture waiting until July to find out what it is! 

In other news, it's April Fool's Day today! Check out Breyer's prank:

I laughed as soon as I saw it...I mean, who wouldn't? Those eyelashes! Great idea, whoever thought of it. Breyer's April Fool's jokes are always the best. I do think this is a real, actual model, because of this clip, but who knows if it'll ever see the light of day again. Maybe it'll be in this year's Breyerfest silent auction? Or maybe it's not real and I'm just an idiot, who knows. It could go either way. 

That's it for today - now I have to get back to prepping for River City Classic on Saturday. As always, if you're there, look for Geralt and Roach and say hello!
