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.
