Breyer: The Drums of Drama Beat Again (Part 1)

 More Breyerfest drama, and now Vintage Club drama too, which will be in Part 2...

 Starting off with the Breyerfest VIP AA tickets, the lottery for the 800 VIP AA tickets had been drawn and instantly people began preselling their BF swag bags, the Art Movements Stablemate set, and their guaranteed SR choices, along with the (available to all ticket tiers) Limited Edition models for twice or triple the issue price.  In some cases, everything included with the VIP ticket was put up for sale by the ticket holder.  Naturally, this upset a lot of collectors.  Breyer, for the first time in my memory, addressed the issue regarding resellers in a Breyerfest Blog entry (https://www.breyerhorses.com/blogs/breyerfest-blog/a-note-to-breyerfest-newcomers ).  The post, directed towards newcomers, explains that it makes more sense to buy All Access tickets from Breyer as you get the Celebration model, the ability to purchase two SR models and access to the Limited Edition models, for the same price or cheaper than what some people are selling a single model for.  Oh, and don’t forget the AA tickets include the virtual content for BF weekend (whatever that encompasses).

Hahahahaha, it looks like Dani is going, “Hey, gimme my model back!”  Okay, back to tickets...

The waitlist for the VIP AA tickets came out, and unfortunately I wasn’t on it.  I had originally planned to just buy All Access tickets if I wasn’t chosen for a VIP ticket, but I am thinking I may try for a VIP ticket when the remaining ones go on sale. I cannot make up my mind...

And tomorrow is Feeding Frenzy Day!  At approximately 1:00 PM EST, the remaining VIP AA tickets go on sale, along with the other types of tickets.  Good luck to all who hope to snag a VIP AA ticket!
