First, Breyer announces the mid-year releases, which include Apparition (a blue-purple glow-in-the-dark Halloween horse) and the 70th Anniversary shrinky-dink SMs. I pre-ordered and paid for an Apparition at Becky's, and then went "damn the torpedos" and added a whole case of the SMs. With any luck, I'll get one of the chase pieces, but even if I don't, I'll have neat minis of the Fighting Stallion, Fox Trotter, and all the others. The mini charcoal Fighting Stallion will be awesome, if it looks anything like the large one. Same for the pinto Indian Pony, the woodgrain Clydesdale, and most of the others. They're doing two chase pieces this time - 1 in every 4th case, and a super-chase in every 12th, I think. I'm betting one is an Alborozo, because they put mini Alby everywhere, and I think the other one might be the FAS or Western Horse, since those are the reliable old standards. I just hope if it's a FAS, they don't go lemon-yellow on him. But a mini Western Horse would be amazing.
Then they sent the email about the Vintage Club horse being ready to order. This one is the Wedgewood pinto Belgian, Josiah. I held out for a few days on ordering, since this week last year is when I paid for one of the SM Club horses last year. And my patience was rewarded, because the email for Chroma, the clearware SMC horse, came a few days later. So, combined shipping on one account.
And now I must avoid eBay, because Breyerfest is next week, and while my Single Day SMs and ticket are paid for, the SRs and store specials aren't. And I have a list. Which will probably get cut down a lot after I see the prices on the store specials, but it won't go down to $0, I'm sure.
