Goodbye, Earl (And Black Friday Early Access)

 Well, the early access Black Friday sale happened - with predictable results. There wasn't anything particularly exciting in the sale - mostly old web specials with a smattering of Collector Club, Stablemate Club, Christmas, Premier Club and Vintage Club stuff. This apparently included exactly two Zugspitze models. Needless to say, lots of people were upset when the predictable cart-yanking happened (even though Breyer warned about super-low quantities on some models). One wonders if more will be added later? Perhaps something for Cyber Monday? Guess we'll find out later. 

In more exciting news, this year's animal web special was revealed! Goodbye Hello Earl: 


















He's very handsome, I have to admit. I've always kinda liked the Charolais Bull sculpt. Not enough to buy any (including this guy). Space is at a premium and I'm really more interested in the horses. But...maybe, someday, I'll find some room, somewhere, for a Charolais Bull. 

There are 1,000 of these guys, so it probably won't be hard to get your hands on one if you're not drawn. The entry deadline is 11/25, so don't dawdle! Get those entries in now.

That's Bull

So I guess the animal web special is a yearly thing now? Say hello to Reuben:



Say what? Another animal web special, with a quantity of 350? I guess they didn't learn anything from Hawthorn's lackluster sales last year (he showed up in the Black Friday sale, just like I predicted)...Anyway, here's another photo of Reuben.



I like the Charolais Bull, but I hate the old-style red roan paint job, and I don't collect the nonhorse molds anyway, so this is a no-brainer. Good luck if you're entering for him, though!
