On an oldies kick

It must be all the reading I've been doing at Breyer History Diva's blog, but I'm on a kick of buying older Breyers lately. Plus, most of them have been cheap. I've gotten at least 4 Family Arabian Mares recently - glossy grey App, glossy Alabaster, woodgrain, and glossy charcoal. Plus a matching Family Arabian Stallion and Foal in glossy grey App - these two are a pair, with very similar blankets, from the same seller. The Mare was a separate seller, and has fewer spots with the belly-stripe style blanket.

Two of the mares survived some pretty crap packing, too. The seller used two Priority shoebox-size boxes - okay, one and a half boxes - taped together. The packing material was two plastic shopping bags and a square of white foam, maybe 8 inches square, half-inch thick. Amazingly, they arrived with no broken parts, and no serious rubs, although it's hard to tell which rubs happened en route.
