Let's Talk BreyerFest...Limited Editions!

 Hello Roadies! Let's Talk BreyerFest...Limited Editions that is!

This year, the names of the types of the models for BreyerFest have all changed due to how the event is being held. As we know, it is a virtual event so there is only one store and not two, as per an In Person Event. I have gone over all of the types of the models that have been announced so far in the Types of Models Available at BreyerFest 2021 File. But this post will be focusing on the Limited Edition Models.
There are eight different Limited Edition Models this year. Three of them are Traditional Sized, one Classic or Freedom Sized, several Stablemates, one Plushie, and one Crystal model. These models are available to all ticket holders and have special conditions attached to them. So let's get into this!
The three Traditional Models are all portraits of real horses. These models would be called the Store Specials at an in person event since they would be offered in the Breyer Store. However, they are Limited Editions during the virtual event. These models cost more than any other Limited Edition and have the unique ability to be back ordered during the event once their stock sells out during the event. The three Traditional models are Queen of Hearts "Josie", Rheverence+ "Rhev". and Apollo del Solis "Apollo". Queen of Hearts is a brindle Warmblood on the Bristol mold with a braided mane and tail and costs $75 with 3500 pieces being available during the event. Rheverence+ is a light buckskin pinto Part Arabian on the Ashquar mold and costs $70 with 3200 pieces being available during the event. Apollo del Solis is a double Pearl Isabella PRE on the Esprit mold and costs $75 with 3500 pieces being available during the event. These models are able to be back ordered once their available stock sells out. Back ordered models will begin shipping in December, but are not guaranteed for a Holiday delivery.
The one Classic or Freedom Series sized model is Favrile on the American Dream mold. This model would normally be available in the Pop Up Store. The model is named Favrile and is a bright rainbow decorator that costs $30 with 3500 pieces being available during the event. This model is able to be back ordered once his available stock sells out. Back ordered models will begin shipping in December, but are not guaranteed for a Holiday delivery.
The several Stablemates would have been available in the Pop Up Store. One is a set of Stablemates and one is a single Stablemate. The Set of Stablemates is the Best of BreyerFest Series 2 Stablemate set that features miniature versions of models that were originally available for BreyerFest 2011: Fairytales. This set costs $60 with 3500 sets available during the event. This set is able to be back ordered once the available stock sells out. Back ordered models will begin shipping in December, but are not guaranteed for a Holiday delivery. The next stablemate that is available is Kaleidoscope. Kaleidoscope is a rainbow decorator on the Darwin mold. This model costs $15 with 6500 pieces available during the event. This model cannot be back ordered and is limited to the stock on hand during the event.
The plushie is named Pal's Palette and is a chestnut appaloosa with a pain palette. This plushie costs $18 with 2500 pieces available during the event. This model cannot be back ordered and is limited to the stock on hand during the event.
The last Limited Edition available during BreyerFest 2021 is the Crystal. This model is named Prisma and is on the Sherman Morgan mold. Crystals are around curio scale. They are a bit larger than the Stablemate mold, but smaller than the Classic scale. This model costs $45 with 2000 pieces available during the event. This model cannot be back ordered and is limited to the stock on hand during the event.
These models are available to all ticket holders and will be available in the Breyer Store during the event. The exact location of the tab has not been released since we do not know yet what the BreyerFest pages will look like. When purchasing these models, you are not limited to how many that you can purchase during the event, however there are limits on how many that you can purchase at each time. Breyer states that you are able to purchase one of each available kind with each transaction. Here at RTB, I will tell you that purchasing one model per transaction will be a great way to limit the models being sold out of your cart before you are able to pay for them.
If you are in Canada, Hawaii, Alaska, or other International member, then you will be charged shipping with each purchase. However, those shipping charges will be consolidated and the majority of them will be refunded after the event. You will only be paying for how many boxes that will be shipped to you. So if you have one box, you will only pay one shipping charge, two boxes will have two shipping charges, etc. You are also responsible for any import taxes as well, I believe. VIP Ticket Holders will receive free shipping, regardless of their location.
I hope that this has helped you in planning for your event!
