Differences Between The Models available at BreyerFest:
While we have an album that shows this in pictures, it will also be included here
*Special Runs are limited edition models that are created for the event, are only able to be purchased with a Special Run Ticket, and their names fit the event.
*Store Special Models are portrait models of horses that have been invited to BreyerFest and have their image made into model form
*Fling! Pop Up Store models are event themed models only. This is usually a Classic, a Plushie, a Crystal, and a Stablemate. They all are themed directly to the event with their colors and have names that pertain to the event.
*Warehouse Finds are models that are found in their warehouse or offices and are gathered up for BreyerFest. These models can be older Special Runs, Previous Club models, Prize models that were left over, and more. It can be a little bit of everything.
*Auction Models are one of a kind models that were either test runs, created for a certain event and never made it, or created to see if a color would work. These models are only available to Three Day Ticket holders and are usually very high priced.
*Silent Auction Models are models that are either painted by artists or even from Breyer themselves that are available to bid on during BreyerFest weekend
*Raffle Models are limited models that are only available during the different types of raffles, such as the Three Day Early Bird raffle, the Saturday Raffle, and the Sunday raffle.

As always, this information can also be found on Breyer’s Website under the FAQs here: https://www.breyerhorses.com/pages/virtual-breyerfest-celtic-fling-updated-faqs
