BreyerFest 2021 Shopping

 BreyerFest Shopping

Good morning Roadies! Today, we are going to talk about shopping at BreyerFest. I am going to be focusing specifically on the Breyer website and how it operated last year. This information should be similar to how it will run this year. If anything changes about how shopping is done during the event, I will edit this post to reflect those changes.
As we all know BreyerFest is virtual and will be held on Breyer's website. The only way to access the BreyerFest information during that weekend, this includes the Store, is to have your BreyerFest ticket already purchased and make sure that you are logged into the account that purchased your ticket. Once you have logged in, you will see a variety of new links and buttons on the Breyer website.
One of these new links or places to click will be the BreyerFest store. This store page will feature a variety of models, including all of this year's Limited Edition releases and BreyerFest merchandise. This store will not include the regular Run models that are normally on the website however. All three of the Traditional sized Limited Edition Models (Josie, Apollo, and Rheverence), the Freedom sized model (Favrile), the Best of BreyerFest Series 2 Stablemate Set, the Crystal (Prima), the Plushie (Pal's Palette), and the unrevealed single Stablemate will be under this Store.
All of the models released for the Limited Edition models will have a time (this will be announced by Breyer) that they go on sale at and will be available until sold out each day. Keep in mind that certain Limited Edition models can be back ordered to ship in December (Josie, Apollo, Rheverence, Favrile, and the Best of BreyerFest Set). Once they are sold out for the day, they are sold out and more will appear the next day at the predetermined time. These models can and do sell out quickly so make sure that you will be around a device of your choosing and logged into your account around the time when they will be released. The BreyerFest merchandise will be in the same store and will be available until sold out. Once it is sold out, there will likely be no more available. Keep that in mind as certain BreyerFest merchandise can sell out very quickly, like the ceramic mugs.
You are welcome to purchase as many Limited Edition models as you want, however keep in mind that Breyer's FAQs state that you can only purchase one of each model per checkout. If you see Josie for sale and that is the model that you want, make sure that you purchase her immediately, for example. This means that you might be making several purchases per day, but keep in mind that this lessens the chances that the model might be "snatched" from your cart. For those that will have to pay shipping, keep in mind that all but one shipping charge will be refunded to you at the end of the event. (If these charges are not refunded to you by a week after the event, I would then recommend calling Breyer's Customer Service.)
During BreyerFest, everything on their website that is normally still there, will be available for purchase. Last year, these items were included in the special BreyerFest shipping charges so the Breyer team was recommending to go ahead and buy that model that you had been looking at. Of course, things can and do change, but from the FAQs, it appears that it will be operating the same or near the same way.
