Just a few things to mention from the last days of February that I was unable to get up yesterday. Breyerfest tickets finally went on sale on Monday, February 26th after some delay. All tickets are now digital, so the days of tickets being mailed are gone. You can read about Breyerfest ticket options here.
The Collector Club February Newsletter came out, and it contains a link to the Breyer Blog post remembering Andrea Gurdon. I am happy to see Breyer acknowledging Andrea.
The newsletter feature story spotlights the Bristol mold, which was a 2018 Premier Club introduction. Great mold choice for Leap Year, keeping perfectly in theme. The giveaway for February is Clooney 51 (#10040), a fleabitten grey Westphalian gelding. Collector Club members need to enter the drawing for him by midnight, March 3, 2024 for a chance to win. Good luck to all who enter!
A Sneak Peak square of the second model in the new Exotic Destination series has been revealed:
Some collectors are guessing the upcoming destination may be an island based on the shared image, and I thought the same thing. Probably because it reminds me of this globe:
I wouldn’t be surprised if the latest destination has nothing to do with islands, lol. We’ll have to wait and see where we land next.
Moving on from the newsletter, Breyer is having another giveaway, this one for Leap Year:
This giveaway is a really nice one. Breyer’s website states “Each of our three winners will receive a Leap Day prize package that includes three jazzy jumpers!” The models include Queen of Hearts (from Breyerfest 2021), Get Rowdy, and Clooney 51. Entries will be accepted up until midnight on March 3, 2024. I believe this giveaway is open to everyone, not just Collector Club members, but I am unsure. Apparently a non-member was able to enter for this drawing. If you are not a Collector Club member, go to Breyer’s homepage and click on the Leap Day banner. It doesn’t hurt to try. Luck Dragons to all of you!
Annnnnnnd, there is one more March 3rd deadline. This one is for the Collector Club Deluxe option, which includes the standard Collector Club benefits plus an exclusive Stablemate and enamel pin. This year’s exclusive SM is the new mini-me mold of Othello, who is also known as Wintersong. Othello, originally a porcelain model, debuted in plastic as the 2007 Holiday Horse, Wintersong. The exclusive SM is named Horatio, and while he mirrors the markings of the first CC exclusive, Heath, they have different coat colors. Once March 3rd passes, only the standard Collector Club option will be available. Here is a photo of the newly miniaturized Wintersong mold, Horatio:
That’s it for Odds n’ Ends right now. Stay tuned for more as news items crop up!

I have missed your blog. Glad you came back to it. Sorry it was the terrible loss of Andrea that made you start posting again but your tribute was very nice. Now onto hopefully happier times and may we all honor Andrea by caring about Breyer history and keep learning.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words. I had intended to start posting again in March, but Andrea’s passing did indeed push the blog restart date into February. Still in shock over her death. :(
