My blue horse herd continues, because I got the blue Candy Cane today. Was kind of hoping for the 1-of-12 random Licorice, but then I'd feel guilty and think about selling it because that's a lot of money.
I was a little surprised to find the box in the mailbox, not on the doormat. This is the first Zebra I've seen in person, and it's smaller than I realized.
(*) Technically, Candy Cane was paid for on Christmas Day, but it's the first horse in the door for 2020. And usually I date my spreadsheet by the day the critter is actually in my hands.
In other news, I was sucked back into the Vintage Club for 2020, mostly because of the In-Between Mare. And then Breyer announced the horses for the Stablemate Club, and the darn Mini Alborozo is the Gambler's Choice model for this year. So after much waffling and calculating numbers, I signed up for a second membership, because I figure (as do other people) that the secondary-market prices for Alby are going to be high enough that the second membership will be cheaper than buying one on eBay or whereever.
Figuring that the club, plus the Collector's Club membership, will run about $180, and guessing that I can sell 4 of the duplicate models for about $20 each (a loss of $5-10 each), that makes the Alby portion around $100.
Gah. I'm actually talking about $100 SMs without cringing.
