Some Quick Breyer Updates

First Post of the Day

Before I write today's blog post, I did want to get some Breyer news out to everyone. 

Pal O'Mine News

Sadly, the Pal O'Mine was just an April Fool (although judging from the comments on social media, it would prove to be a popular seller for Breyer, so maybe down the road?)

However, three test runs from the Pal O'Mine joke are available for free! But act now because entries close today, April 3, at 11:59 PM EDT.

New Stablemate Blind Bags Available

These came out yesterday and when I got the notice, I looked at them briefly and then moved on. The price point seemed too high to me for Stablemates. But that Indian Pony "nagged" (LOL) at me and soon I was back for a second look.

"I do collect Stablemates now," I rationalized as I put four (yes, you read that right) into my cart. "And I like them all except for the Smart Chic Olena mold, but he is a black pinto and black is my favorite color." 

Lets hope I don't get four of the same thing like I did the Christmas blankets last December! 

Look for another blog post coming soon!

BOO & More

My mornings currently have a new routine that's been added in. I am one of the stewards for BOO, the Breyer Online Open Show. And stewarding is in full swing right now.

BOO is held on the PonyBytes platform just as Breyer Boot Camp is, so I am familiar with the format of the show as well as the formatting that entrants need to use to enter their models. (And which stewards are responsible for checking to be sure is correct.) 

I look over new entries every morning, and I am one week into the process with one more week to go before the galleries close and stewarding finishes up.

Entries close today at noon EDT, so if you haven't entered but want to, head over the Breyer and enter! It's a fun, well run show and the stewards and other staff are happy to help if you have questions or are unsure about how to proceed.

Speaking of Breyer, Barn Buddy Kelsey and I finally had schedules that matched and I got my BreyerFest models! I also got to spend some time chatting with her - she is such a nice lady and a good friend.

We met where she works and thank goodness she sent me a map with the employee parking lot circled - the Lafayette Cargill plant is enormous! (See those train cars of grain on the tracks waiting to offload?) And as I sat in the employee parking lot waiting to meet up with her, semi truck after semi truck rolled up and into a long line of trucks to deliver even more grain.

Kelsey is a scientist who examines and then grades (or even rejects) the grain for quality, among other things. Sadly, she had a meeting to attend and we didn't get to chat very long, but we are hoping to meet for lunch soon. My BreyerFest models are not yet opened - hopefully later  today.

One last bit of Breyer news (there hasn't been much lately, aside from BOO.)

There is a Classic/Freedom test run Andalusian stallion available. You can enter to be drawn for it, and the cost is $800 if you win. Not many Andalusians have been in Breyer's line-up for a while, and most likely that is because Breyer has termed the mold as "delicate."

Collectors Club members have until September 15 at 11/59 PM to enter for it if interested.

Don't forget the September Give Away - this month its a blackened beeswax ornament! To enter, comment on any blog post posted September 12 through Sunday evening, September 15, 11:59 PM Eastern Time.

I'll try to get a second blog entry posted later this morning. Stay 'tooned!
