Miscellaneous Odds and Ends, Part 3 (or something)

Her front left knee looks wavy, doesn’t it? Like her knee was put on backwards? 

Update on the Grimm’s Fairy Tales book I bought— it arrived, and JACKPOT!!! It does have writing in it! Yay!!!! Whenever I get a book with writing in it I feel like I found buried treasure. I wonder what the people who wrote in that book would think if they knew that seventy-two years later, a stranger would read their message and wonder about them.

Back to model news… my CCA order arrived yesterday evening, and I received the glossy Indian Pony. I wasn’t sure when my order was going to arrive, because for whatever reason, the UPS tracking showed the shipment as canceled.

I wasn’t drawn for Bunyan, but my hopes are up for Montana (yes, really). Interestingly enough, Breyer put up a message that the selections for Montana are being delayed until next week:

 It seems that the backordered Lafayettes are now on the move and I’m interested to see if any in this batch will be the glossy coal black promo photo or the glossy silver/black of the first batch. I’ve seen a couple of photos, but they look like the initial batch.

The Deluxe Collectors Club Stablemate Chalice models are landing. From the in-hand photos I had seen, he is gorgeous! As of right now, my Chalice is slated for delivery on Monday. Newsflash! Chalice just showed up! Here he is:

Check out the detail on his tummy:

 My VIP pin appeared last night:

That’s all I think there is for now, but I’m probably forgetting a few things. If so, be prepared for a fourth (or whatever) part. Or maybe I should just title it “The Ongoing Miscellaneous Odds and Ends Feature.”
