TSC, or not so much

 And five minutes after I ordered Jolene, I got a cancellation email about the order.  No explanation.  Ah well. Maybe next week.

More new horses

 UPS delivered both of the post-Breyerfest boxes today.  Rapunzel, Franz, Chablis, and two Rotating Drafts - I ended up with the dapple gray pinto and the buckskin pinto, both matte.  Might try to trade the dapple gray for the blue pinto.  

And, I ordered one of the TSC exclusives, Jolene, online.  The website says it's available for curbside pickup here, but the store didn't have any out when I drove up yesterday.  So, I ordered it.  The blue FFA horse and the blind bag SMs aren't in stock, so I'll wait on those.  It's okay, I should get my TSC birthday coupon next week.  I just didn't want to risk Jolene selling out - I'm a fan of the Lady Phase in any tail, and a giant sucker for a dilute, especially a dunalino.

A good tip and a lucky day

 I got a tip from a hobby friend of mine, thanks to Facebook Messenger and a local flea mall that posts pictures online.  I got off work early today and had enough time to drive out there before school pickup time, so I took a little drive.  My friend has a good eye and she was right - she spotted a Special Run in one of the booth photos - the Classic Secretariat, on the Terrang Mold, from Hobby Center Toys in 1988.  The price was a whopping $15, so I grabbed him right away.  Missing a bit of an ear tip, and a few rubs, but the original run was only 1,000.  

While I was there and had some time, I walked around the rest of the antique mall.  Most of it, anyway.  I saw a lot of overpriced (in my opinion) Breyers, including some Family Arabian Foals ($29 each) and some Classic Arabian and Quarter Horse families that I'm pretty sure were there last time I was - which was about 3 years minimum.  I did find a pair of vintage Breyers that I decided to buy - the Western Horse and Fury, both in old brown pinto, with their saddles.  The Western Horse even has the older O-link reins. 

Breyerfest - the Second Chance sale

 So, I may have set an alarm on my phone to remind me of the Second Chance sale.  And I may have then gotten on the internet from the basement of the library, and made two more orders of the Breyerfest Prost! leftovers.  

I ended up with one order of Franz and a Rotating Draft, and a second order with Chablis, Rapunzel, and a second Rotating Draft.  Franz, Chablis, and Rapunzel are all molds that I don't own yet, and Franz has a double attraction because he's blue, and I've got this growing collection of blue horses that started accidentally.  Needless to say, I'm also hoping for the blue pinto Rotating Draft.
