The Difference Between A Special Run and a Store Special

Breyerfest offers a lovely array of special models just for purchase at the event and these models sure draw some attention, good or bad.  But they are labeled differently and what makes them different?

A Special Run is a model that is of limited quality that is offered through the Special Run tent at Breyerfest.  These models require a special ticket to purchase and gain you access to the crazy Special Run line that we have discussed on the blog and several times in the FB group.  At the Special Run line, you have one ticket with a time, number, and day.  At that day and time, you are asked to show up 15 minutes before the time on the ticket.  A random number is drawn and that number is first.  We will use 150.  150-500 will line up in order and then continue with 1-149 after 500. With each ticket, you are able to purchase two different special run models, say you wanted one of the dog and one of the horses.  You are not allowed to purchase two of the same and that does include surprise horses.

A Store Special is a model that is of limited edition that is offered through the Breyer Store during Breyerfest.  These models do sell out quickly and it is limited to one per person per purchase. There is a certain quantity that is set out during the day and you are able to hand pick which one that you like and then are able to purchase it.  You do not have to have a special ticket other than entrance into Breyerfest. The cost is around the same of the Special Run horses and are as detailed.
