First 2022 Collectors Club Release Tomorrow (Honeybear)!

 



The email announcing Honeybear’s release tomorrow (March 1st) just came out:









I have been eagerly awaiting this release, but I am unhappy that Honeybear is a “limited quantities - while supplies last” deal. We can all guess he will sell out quite fast. I was thinking that Breyer would repeat what they did with Lafayette last year, which gave the option to backorder Lafayette once the models in the warehouse sold out. I suppose that the Lafayette backorder fiasco helped Breyer decide it wasn’t worth the hassle. As a refresher, some collectors  who had backordered Lafayette got him immediately and some who were supposed to get him immediately ended up on the backorder list. There was also a shipping delay, which pushed the backorders to a later delivery date. Annnnnnnyway, I will unfortunately be at work during his release time, so I will need to get someone to order him for me. I could try to run into the bathroom at that time, but reception isn’t the greatest inside the building…oh wait, I have it! Once in the bathroom around 2 pm EST I can jump on the sink and crawl out of the window, use the gutter downspout to climb up to the roof for the best reception, and then proceed to order Honeybear. Then all I have to do is climb back in through the window and pretend a Misson Impossible moment never occurred. The plan is set, my friends! Easy peasy. Muhuhuhuhuhuhuhu! Honeybear shall be mine!















Good luck to everyone who wants to get one!

2022 Collectors Club Membership Renewal


Just happened to check my email looking for something when I spied an email from Breyer for 2022 Collectors Club renewals… HOLY CANNOLI my eyes bugged out of my head at the sight of this banner:












Another Georg to add to the conga! Georg is one of my favorite molds ever produced by Breyer. I am ridiculously excited for Honeybear, as he has been named. Here is a full photo:







I wish we were able to see his other side. Breyer is continuing to offer a Deluxe CC membership option in addition to the basic CC membership. The exclusive Stablemate for members of the Deluxe CC is Ellington, described by Breyer as “a glossy shaded bright bay tobiano Friesian cross.” Ellington is on the popular Django mold, and I find it interesting that Breyer is using two very popular molds to entice memberships into both levels of the 2022 CC. I’m not complaining because Georg!, but I think 2022 will be the largest CC yet. Speaking of club numbers, I am wondering if Breyer is going to increase the number of Vintage Club memberships after last year’s fiasco. The VC is capped at 500 memberships, and the renewal for the VC should happen in October. I just checked my order history and I renewed my VC membership on Oct. 27, 2020. Guess we’ll have to wait until then to see if Breyer has increased membership numbers. Oops, got sidetracked there! Here is the photo of Ellington:






That’s it for now, I need to finish another Halloween entry for the blog…
