It Happened: Zugspitze, the 2021 Winter Web Special

 

Uh huh. The email for this year’s Winter Web Special came out today with a silver filigree Georg named Zugspitze (# 712340):

Exactly the one model I didn’t want to see for the WWS, lol. I was thinking that Breyer might not use him, but it seems 2021 has turned out to be The Year of Georg. I guess since Breyer started the year with Georg (as VC Julius), they decided to end the year with him as well (Zugspitze). Of course, Theo was available all year, and Honeybear is slated to be one of the 2022 Collectors Club web specials, so there is no shortage of Georgs.

There will be 450 pieces made, and Breyer has increased the price a lot for this fellow. Zugspitze is priced at $225, plus shipping. Last year’s WWS was the La Molina and Masella set which was also had a run number of 450, and were priced at $185 plus shipping. 

The 2020 WWS La Molina and Masella, just because they are so pretty:

It would be something if Breyer decided to make half of the Zugspitzes in that color-shifting blue filigree… oh my goodness, the utter chaos that would result, hahahahaha. I certainly don’t think they would do that. Now I am left wondering what the Christmas Day Special will be… surely it won’t  be on the Georg mold…

I better be off to enter for Zugspitze as this is one web special I don’t want to forget to enter for. Best of luck to all who are entering!
