Let's Talk BreyerFest....Back To Basics, that is!

 Hello Roadies! Let's Talk BreyerFest....Back To Basics, that is!

BreyerFest is in two days! Yes, two days! I sure hope that you are excited! This post will be taking it back to the basics for a bit and as always, please read the Guides as they have all of the answers to every question that I have seen posted so far.

*BreyerFest is this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

*BreyerFest STARTS at 10 AM Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) on Friday.

*All BreyerFest Times are Eastern Daylight Time

*It is recommended to buy your Special Runs separately from your Limited Editions. Why? Breyer said so, lol! However, my thoughts are because the Limited Editions sell out and the Special Runs do not.

*Only THREE Limited Editions are NOT able to be back ordered: Pal's Palette the Plushie, Prisma the Crystal, and Kaleidoscope the Stablemate

*There is NO exact time frame that the Limited Editions will sell out. The variables are just way too much as their numbers have been raised, they are all released at the same time, and there is an unknown amount of tickets sold at the time.

*Nothing will be recorded, it appears.

*We do not yet know if BreyerFest will be available after BreyerFest

Let's Talk BreyerFest...Shopping Details, that is!

 Hello Roadies! Let's Talk BreyerFest...Shopping Details, that is!

There has been a lot of confusion surrounding the Shopping aspect of BreyerFest and that is perfectly alright, everything has changed this year! First and foremost, I want to say to please check out the Shopping and Shipping Guides. I PROMISE that they will answer all of your questions. So let's get into this!

*There will be NO models added to your cart.

*To purchase your Special Runs, if you have an All Access Ticket, you will need to go to the Buy Now (or something similar) banner when you go to the BreyerFest section of the Breyer website. From there, you will see which Special Runs were selected for you and you can add them to your cart.

*Special Runs do NOT sell out of your cart.

*You have all weekend, until 4 PM EDT on Sunday, to purchase the Special Runs so there is no hurry.

*You do not have to purchase any of the Special Runs selected for you or you can only purchase one. Buying models during BreyerFest is strictly up to you.

*Special Runs will be available to purchase starting at 10 AM EDT on Friday, no earlier.

*Limited Editions go on sale starting Friday at 10 AM EDT.

*Limited Editions can sell out of your cart!

*All of the Limited Editions will be released at the same time

*There are only three Limited Editions that CANNOT be back ordered. They are Pal's Palette the Plushie, Prisma the Crystal, and Kaleidoscope the Stablemate

*There is no way to even guesstimate when the Limited Editions will sell out. There are way too many variables at the current time.

*You can only purchase one of each available kind of Limited Edition at a time.

*It is recommended to purchase your Limited Editions separately from your Special Runs.

*The Limited Editions and the BreyerFest Merchandise will be located under the BreyerFest Store Tile on the BreyerFest section of the Breyer website.

*You cannot purchase any BreyerFest models if you do not have a ticket.

*All Ticket Holders have access to the Limited Editions

*Special Runs are only available to All Access and VIP Ticket Holders. VIP Ticket Holders have already paid for their models and All Access Ticket Holders will pay for theirs during BreyerFest.

*You CANNOT purchase any models before BreyerFest.

*In order to bid for an Auction Model, you MUST register to bid on the Liveauctioneers website.  

Let's Talk BreyerFest... Grab Bags versus Warehouse Finds, that is!

 Hello Roadies! Let's Talk BreyerFest... Grab Bags versus Warehouse Finds, that is!

I know, I hear you now, Rachel, you were taking a night off. Yes, yes I was, however this is really important because a lot of people are very confused on this and that is perfectly fine because this year, it is confusing! So what is the difference and where can you find them? Let's get into this!

First, let's talk about the Grab Bags. These curated Grab Bags will be available during BreyerFest and they will be located in the BreyerFest Store, under the BreyerFest Store Tile. We know this much because Breyer has said so. However, there are some great educated guesses that we can make before Friday at 10 AM EDT. There will be assorted prices, but we do not know what they will be yet. There will likely be different kinds of them, like one for previous BreyerFests (totally just an example!), but we do not know yet. They likely will not restock since nothing else is restocking, however this could be the only thing that they restock in the store. We will know exactly all of the information on Friday though. Are they worth is? That is only a question that you can answer! No one knows exactly what is in these BLIND Grab Bags. They are like giant and expensive Blind Bags. People can tell you what was in them last year, but that does not really help with what will be in them this year. Do you take the risk? I know that I am going to try! I was unable to get one last year so I need to conquer this!

Warehouse Finds are different than the Grab bags, although Breyer stated that there would be a Warehouse Grab Bag. The Warehouse Grab Bag would be lumped in with the Grab Bags in the paragraph above and is not part of the Warehouse Finds unless Breyer places on in there. These models will be on eBay and their links, which will be live on Friday at 10 AM EDT, will be under the eBay Tile on Breyer's website. These models are the older Limited Editions from the website and Holiday Models, the older Club horses, Special Runs sometimes, or even first production pieces. They are individually placed on eBay and they will be available for auction. Breyer could surprise us and add in the Grab Bag. We will not know any of the specifics until BreyerFest though.

So that is the difference between the Grab Bags and the Warehouse Finds. I hope that this has helped you some. 

Let's Talk BreyerFest...Details, that is!

 Hello Roadies! Let's Talk BreyerFest...Details, that is!

There are a lot of details to remember about BreyerFest and it can get crazy confusing! But just remember that the group is here to help you! Definitely check out all of the Guides as they will tell you when things go on sale, how much things will cost, and what to expect. Make sure to check out the BreyerFest 2021 Models and More album for pictures of the models released, their prices, and pages from the program.

Here are some key points to remember:

*You will need to log in every day. When you log in, you will be taken to your Account Details page so you will need to click on the Breyer icon at the top center of the page to be taken to the main page. Then you will see a banner that says enter BreyerFest. Click on that to be taken to the BreyerFest section.

*All models available for sale go on sale on Friday July 16th at 10 AM EDT. They will be located in the BreyerFest Store.

*You will need to read the terms and conditions for the Raffle before entering as we do not know if there are exclusions to the statement that VIP and All Access Ticket Holders that live in the US and Canada may enter.

*The Auctions are going on now, but will be announced Live on Sunday, July 18th.

*The program has all of the times that the Live events will happen.

*As of right now, nothing will remain on the website after BreyerFest.

*The Live Workshops will not be recorded.

*The Horse Tours will not be recorded and you must register for them on Friday, July 16th.

*All BreyerFest times are EDT or Eastern Daylight Time. This is the only time zone referred to during BreyerFest.

Let's Talk BreyerFest... Planning and Details, that is!

 Hello Roadies! Let's Talk BreyerFest... Planning and Details, that is!

By now, I am sure that you have seen the news. RTB is changing names. That change is not going to affect how the group is ran. I am still going to be here to answer your questions, clear up BreyerFest information, and opens me up to do so much more! I am very excited about this change and I pray that you are as well! There will be more details coming soon about this small change, but just know that this was absolutely not an easy decision. But I think that all of you Roadies will be extremely happy with this change! However, you are not here for that, you are here for the Details! So let's go into them!

So BreyerFest is virtual this year and it takes place on Breyer's website. There will be models to buy, videos to watch, and so very much more!

*Tickets are still on sale. These are the General Admission and the Premium Access Tickets.

*You absolutely need to have a ticket to participate in BreyerFest.

*BreyerFest is July 16, 17, and 18

*All BreyerFest times are in Eastern Daylight Time.

*BreyerFest starts on Friday at 10 AM EDT and ends on Sunday at 4 PM EDT.

*Technically BreyerFest does not end on Friday and Saturday evening, however the Live feed will end and the demonstrations from the Kentucky Horse Park will be available to watch.

*Limited Edition Models are available to all Ticket Holders. They go on sale Friday July 16 at 10 AM EDT and will not restock during the weekend. All models will be available at this time. Keep in mind that there are much more than the normal 1000 models available so they should not sell out instantly. Also note that several models are available to back order during the event.

*Special Runs, available to All Access Ticket Holders, will be ready to purchase at 10 AM EDT on Friday July 16th. They will be located under the Buy Your Special Runs banner after you log into BreyerFest. You will need to move these models to your cart to purchase them. They cannot be sold out of your cart like the Limited Edition Models can be. You have until Sunday at 4 PM EDT to purchase these models or you will lose them. You do not have to purchase them, if you do not wish to, but you cannot exchange the models that were selected for your account.

*Workshops will be available all weekend long, The Prerecorded Workshops will be available all weekend long, no matter the time. The Live workshops have a schedule that is posted in the Guides, these were the workshops that you needed to pay for in advance.

*Raffles are available to VIP and All Access Ticket Holders Only. The complete terms and conditions will be posted on the Raffles Page during BreyerFest.

*The Auctions are open to all ticket holders and are currently accepting bids until Sunday July 18th.

*The Seminars are free to all ticket holders and are able to be seen all weekend long, unless otherwise noted.

*The interviews with the horses and their owners will be available to view all weekend long, at any time that you want.

*We do not know what will remain after BreyerFest, so I totally recommend sitting down and watching while you can. I plan on all nighters!

I hope that this has helped you some with the small details and I will definitely be here to answer your questions!

Hello Roadies, Let's Talk BreyerFest....the Artisan's Gallery, that is!

 Hello Roadies, Let's Talk BreyerFest....the Artisan's Gallery, that is!

I see a lot of questions about the Artisan's Gallery so I am going to try to answer them for you. The Artisan's Gallery is just a collection of links to artist's web pages or galleries in one place. You will be able to click on the tile for Artisan's Gallery on the BreyerFest section of the website and that will open up a page that will show you the links of all of the artists that have registered with Breyer to be there.

Once you click on one of the links, you will be taken to that artist's website or Gallery and you can browse their available sale products or send them a message to ask about what they have to offer.

The Gallery will likely not be up on Breyer's website, however there is a long standing tradition that the Gallery opens up on Thursday, July 15th so we could see that happen as well.

For the artists that have entered into the Gallery, I highly recommend have two devices near you during the event as I hope that sales are high for you! On your website, make sure to list your payment methods and things like that. But you definitely know more about sales than I do, so I will not be describing that!

I hope that this has helped you a little. The Artisan's Gallery is just a collection of links this year that you can visit or bookmark since the page on Breyer's website will not be available after BreyerFest. 

Let's Talk BreyerFest.....Shopping, Shipping, and the Auctions, that is!

 Hello Roadies! Let's Talk BreyerFest.....Shopping, Shipping, and the Auctions, that is!

Here is the next installment of our Last Minute Details for BreyerFest 2021. This installment will talk about about the updated Shopping information, the Shipping information, and the Auctions.

Breyer released the Shopping information a couple days ago and is not too different than what happened last year. Take that with a grain of salt because it is a lot different actually! This year, Breyer took away the time slots of the Special Runs and is making them all available on Friday, July 16th at 10 AM EDT to Sunday July 18th at 4 PM EDT. You will see a banner, after you log into the BreyerFest section of the Breyer website, that will tell you to click here to view your Special Run Models. These will be the models that were randomly selected for your account using your Preference List. If you did not fill in a Preference List for any reason, there will still be Special Run Models in that section for you. Remember that Special Runs were available to All Access Ticket Holders using this method. VIP Ticket Holders have already paid for their Special Runs. Once you see which Special Runs were selected for your account, you will need to move them to your cart. If you do not wish to purchase them, you do not have to. You will need to move these Special Runs to your cart and purchase them before the end of BreyerFest on Sunday, if you are going to buy them, or they will be forfeit.

Buying the Limited Edition Models is a lot different this year. Limited Edition Models are available to all Ticket Holders. They will be available for sale in the BreyerFest Store on the Breyer website starting at Friday July 16th at 10 AM EDT. All of the stock will be available at that time and there will be no restocks over the weekend. Several models are available for back order, so you do not need to panic that you will not be getting a model. The best option would be to say which models are not available to be back ordered and those would be Prisma the Crystal, Pal's Palette the Plushie, and Kaleidoscope the Stablemate. If you want one of those three, you will need to purchase the models before the sell out.

BreyerFest Merchandise will also be available during the weekend. This is the tshirts, the mugs, and more. The entire stock will be available starting on Friday, July 16th at 10 AM EDT. Once they are sold out, they will not be restocking.

Next, we have the Warehouse Finds and the Grab Bags. Remember that these are two completely different things, however Breyer did lump them into the same section during their information post. There are the Warehouse Finds, which are rarer model horses such as the previously released Club horses or first production pieces, and they will be available on eBay. There will be a link to them on the BreyerFest Section of the website and I will definitely share that link. There is also the Grab Bags, which technically include Warehouse Finds as well. These are priced out at a specific price that will be released during BreyerFest. We do NOT know what they will be priced at before the event. They will be available on the website without needing to go to eBay. There is usually a selection in a variety of different prices and they go FAST! We are not sure about the restocks or if there will be any, but as soon as we learn that information, I will update the Shopping and Shipping Guide.

Next, we are moving onto Shipping. While the entire Shipping explanation can be found in the Shopping and Shipping Guide, I am going to go over the basics here. All models purchased during BreyerFest weekend, UNLESS THEY WERE BACK ORDERED, will begin shipping the week after BreyerFest. Event Models, such as the Celebration Horse and the Event Stablemates, will begin shipping this month, unless you purchased the Premium Access ticket. The Celebration Models that are with the Premium Access Tickets will NOT be shipping until late December. VIP Ticket Holders receive Free Shipping all BreyerFest weekend, no matter where you live. This includes everything on the website, unless stated otherwise. If you live in the Domestic US, Shipping is free for you, no matter how many boxes are shipped to you. If you live in Canada, Alaska, or Hawaii, shipping is a flat rate of $10 per box shipped to you. You will be charged shipping with each purchase, but many charges will be refunded to you after the event depending on how many boxes that you have heading your direction. If you live Internationally, shipping is a flat rate of $25 per box shipped to you. You will be charged shipping with each purchase, but many charges will be refunded to you after the event, depending on how many boxes that you have heading your direction. International ticket holders could also see Customs fees.

And last for this installment, we have the Auction. Those amazing one of a kind test models speak to everyone and this year, all ticket holders are able to bid on these models! Exact information about how the Auction will work has not been released yet, but the actual Auction will take place on Sunday, July 18th so I think that we will be seeing the information come out during BreyerFest. 

Let's Talk BreyerFest...The First of the Last Minute Details, that is!

 Hello Roadies! Let's Talk BreyerFest...The First of the Last Minute Details, that is!

Whew! BreyerFest has been a wild ride so far and we are not even to BreyerFest weekend yet! While BreyerFest is a virtual event for this year and everyone is excited to see if next year is an in person event, I ask that you please try to remain positive about it! I know, we all want it back in person, but the virtual type of event has a lot of offer as well.

But right now, I know that you are planning those last minute details and wanting to make sure that everything is just perfect for next weekend. The next few posts in this series will be designed to help you get ready for those last minute details and they will be added to the Let's Talk BreyerFest Guide in the Guide Section of this group.

You will likely make sure that everything on your Breyer account is in place, with tickets purchased and paid for. But wait! Your ticket purchase says Unfulfilled! Oh no! Take a breath and let me remind you that this will say Unfulfilled until the Event models are sent. It might even say Unfulfilled after that as well! The Unfulfilled status is not an accurate way to judge if your ticket has been paid for or that your order has been received. The best thing to do is to click on that order number and it will tell you if the items were paid for and will give you a date that it was paid on. That is all that you need to check. Ignore that Unfulfilled until you get a tracking number from Breyer.

Next, you are going to want to likely go over what models you want to purchase during BreyerFest. My best piece of advice is a little old fashioned. Grab a pen and paper and write down the models that you are looking to get, along with their prices. Do not include the Special Runs this time, this is just for those Limited Editions! On Friday, July 16th at 10 AM EDT, all of the Limited Editions will be available for purchase on the Breyer website under the BreyerFest Store. The whole stock will be available at this time and there will be no more restocks. However, there are models that can be back ordered once the stock runs out. While those back ordered models will not being shipping until late December, this is a great way to know that you will not be missing those models. However, the plushie, Prisma, and Kaleidoscope are not included in the back orders.

And last, for this post right now, you are going straight towards Raffles. Despite having a few bumps along the way, the Raffles will be for Friday, July 16 and Saturday, July 17. They are available to VIP and All Access Ticket Holders in the US and Canada with a complete terms and conditions released on the Raffle page during BreyerFest. There will likely be some limits on who can register for the Raffles, so please do keep that in mind. Until BreyerFest, we do not know what these limits are though, so please hold off on asking. There will be a dedicated tile for the Raffles so you will not need to hunt it down. Once you click on it, there will be a simple form to fill out, if you are eligible. This form will ask for your name and your email address. That is what was asked for last year, so I am going with that information until the official Raffle page is up and running. You will have until a certain time to enter for the Raffles, so make sure to do that as soon as you log in or after you buy your models. As long as it is before that cut off time and you are eligible, you should be good.

Next time, we will go over shopping, shipping, and the Auction so stay tuned! 

Let's Talk BreyerFest...Updated Shopping Information, That Is!

 Hello Roadies, Let's Talk BreyerFest... Updated Shopping Information, that is!

So I know, you are all likely going to be like OMG, Rachel, seriously, you did not get it all right. However, I would like to point out that I have not had any help from Breyer this year as they have their own group. But I did get the majority of it right and I will definitely admit where I was wrong as I am going back and changing what I missed. However, here is the new and updated information that Breyer released today.

Special Runs

Special Runs, available to All Access Ticket Holders, will be available starting on Friday, July 16th at 10 AM EDT to purchase. In order to purchase these models, you will need to click on the Buy Your Special Runs banner once you have logged into the event. Breyer will not be emailing your selections to you. This link will take you to a page that has the Special Runs that were selected for your account on it. You are not required to purchase these Special Runs, however you cannot exchange them for other Special Runs. You will have until Sunday, July 18th at 4 PM EDT to purchase these models, so please buy them before BreyerFest ends if you do not wish to miss out!

Limited Edition Models

Limited Edition Models are available to all ticket holders during BreyerFest. These models will NOT be restocked during the event so once they are sold out, they are sold out unless they are the models that are able to be back ordered. The models that are able to be back ordered are the following: Queen of Hearts (Josie), Rheverence+, Apollo del Solis, Favrile, and the Best of BreyerFest Series 2 Set Stablemates. The back ordered models will ship in December, but are NOT guaranteed for a Holiday Delivery. As previously posted, you are only able to purchase one of each kind of Limited Edition during one transaction, but are able to make as many purchases as you are able to during the weekend.

BreyerFest Swag

All Ticket Holders are able to purchase the BreyerFest Merchandise during the event. There are no limits on how you can purchase these items or how many that you can purchase. Inventory will be available starting on Friday, July 16th at 10 AM EDT and until they are sold out. When they are sold out, there will NOT be a restock.

Warehouse Finds

Warehouse Finds are available as Grab Bags during BreyerFest and are able to be shopped by price point or theme so there is something there for everyone. Grab Bags will be available starting on Friday, July 16th at 10 AM EDT and when they are sold out, they are sold out.

Rare Warehouse Finds

These pieces are the ones that will be available on eBay. They will be listed as an auction that will run from Friday, July 16th through Sunday July 18th. There will be links provided for these on eBay, even if I have to go find them myself. All ticket holders have access to the Grab Bags as well as the Rare Warehouse Finds.

VIP Ticket Holders:

You have already purchased your Special Runs so there is nothing that you need to do for them. You have already paid for two of the Limited Editions, however you are able to buy as many more Limited Editions as you want during the weekend. You are also able to purchase the Warehouse Finds and the Rare Warehouse Finds, so no worries at all!

I hope that this has helped you while planning your event! 

Let's Talk BreyerFest... Logging Into BreyerFest, That Is!

 Hello Roadies! Let's talk about BreyerFest....Logging Into BreyerFest, that is!

As the time grows closer for BreyerFest, you might be wondering just how you are going to log into the event. So let's go over it all here.

BreyerFest takes place on Breyer's website so you will definitely need to had to Breyer's website on Friday, July 16th at 10 AM EDT. You will need to log into the account that purchased your BreyerFest tickets. No matter how many tickets that you have purchased on your account, you will only need to log into the event once, Once you log into your Breyer Account that purchased your BreyerFest tickets, you will then be taken to the Account Details page. Once you are at the Account Details page, you will need to the look up to the top of the page. At the top, you will see a Breyer icon. If you click that icon, you will then be taken to the main page of the Breyer Website.

Once on the main page of the Breyer Website, after logging in, you will need to click Enter BreyerFest on the BreyerFest banner. This will take you to the amazing BreyerFest section of Breyer's website and you can explore the content to your heart's desire!

A few key points to remember:

*On your Account Details page, your BreyerFest ticket purchase will say Unfulfilled until after BreyerFest or even stay that way. This is not an indicator of anything. If you have purchased your tickets and it shows up on your Account Details page, then it is recorded that you have purchased your tickets.

*Only the account that purchased BreyerFest tickets will be able to access the BreyerFest section of the Breyer website. No matter how many tickets that you have purchased, you only need to log in once per day.

*You cannot be logged in before 10 AM EDT on each day of the weekend or you will be caught in an endless refresh until you log out and log back in.

*For those that can participate in the Raffles, you will need to enter your information once on Friday and once on Saturday before the cut off time each day or you will not be entered. It might help to remember to do this right after logging in on Friday and Saturday.

I hope that this has helped a little bit!

Let's Talk BreyerFest...Raffles, That is!

 Hello Roadies, Let's Talk BreyerFest...Raffles that is!

So the exciting news was not the auctions like we thought today, but rather it was raffle information. However, not all of it has been released yet so I will be writing a file once everything has been released.

For the first time since I have been documenting BreyerFest, there is a Friday raffle model. He was revealed today and can be seen in our BreyerFest 2021 Exclusive Models album, in case you missed him. But with his release, we saw some new rules for the Raffle. Let's get into it!

*The Raffle on Friday is available to USA and Canada Residents only, but says that certain regulations will apply and to read the raffle information on the raffle page during BreyerFest.

*You can only enter ONCE per ACCOUNT. If there is more than one raffle, which we know that there will be, you will be able to enter ONCE for each day.

*The raffle is only available to VIP and All Access Ticket Holders ONLY. Will this change? Likely not, but I will definitely be keeping up to date of all of the information. 

Let's Talk BreyerFest... Buying Limited Edition Models, That Is!

 Hello Roadies! Let's talk BreyerFest.....Buying Limited Edition Models, that is!

BreyerFest is full of amazing horses and so much more, but I know that many people are all about the models! So let's get into buying models during the event!

There are a few different types of models that are available to purchase at BreyerFest and this year, what those models are called has been changed so it has confused a lot of people. But they are all still the same types of models and the way to purchase them has not changed at all.

The first that I am going to talk about is the Limited Edition Models. Why these first? Because these models are available to all ticket holders. No matter what type of ticket that you purchased, you are able to purchase these models. The Limited Edition Models are available in the BreyerFest Store and are made up of three Traditional sized portrait models, one Classic sized model, a few Stablemates, a plushie, and a Crystal model. Let's get into what the models are.

The three Traditional sized models are Queen of Hearts, Rheverence+, and Apollo del Solis. You can check out their mold information, prices, and how many will be available in the BreyerFest 2021 Models and More album here in the group. These three models are able to be purchased during the event and once they are sold out for the day, they are able to be back ordered to ship in December.

The Classic sized model is named Favrile and is a rainbow zebra type decorator. You can check out his photo, his price, and mold information in the BreyerFest 2021 Models and More album. He is able to be purchased during the event and once he sells out for the day, he will be able to be back ordered to ship in December.

The handful of Stablemates are next and there are two different types of them available. The first one is the Best of BreyerFest Series 2 set and is a set of five different Stablemates. This set can be viewed in the photo album mentioned above. This set will be for sale during the event and once it sells out for the day, it is able to be back ordered. The next Stablemate is the single one and it is named Kaleidoscope. He is able to be seen in the album as well. He is NOT able to be back ordered during the weekend, Once he sells out for the day, he will not be available until restocked. He can and might sell out during the weekend.

The plushie is next. This adorable chestnut appaloosa named Pal's Palette is sure to delight and can be seen in the above mentioned album. He is available to purchase all weekend long, but he is NOT able to be back ordered. Once he is sells out, he is sold out. He can and will sell out during the weekend.

And last, but certainly not least is the crystal. This little glass type model stands about Little Bit sized and is extremely delicate. This year's model is named Prisma and is on the Sherman Morgan mold. You can see his details in the above mentioned album. He is NOT able to be back ordered and can and will sell out during the weekend.

So that is all of the Limited Edition models available to all ticket holders during the weekend. But, Rachel, how do you buy them? I know that is what you are thinking, but I know that you are also thinking geez, this is a book! Sorry for that, the information is a lot for this type of model and if I could break it further down, I would. But I can't so please keep reading:

During BreyerFest, these lovely models will have a time when they are released for sale, Friday at 10 AM EDT When these models go up for sale, you will need to log into your Breyer account and go to the BreyerFest section. From there, you will need to go to the BreyerFest Store and locate the model that you want to purchase. There are limits of how to purchase this model, but there are not limits on how many you purchase. Breyer tells you that you are only able to purchase one of each available kind of Limited Edition at a time. So you could potentially purchase up to 8 models at one time. However, due to how the cart is set up, I am telling you that purchasing one model at a time is a lot better than trying to purchase them all at a time. The models in your cart can be sold out of your cart as there is no cart timer. It is best to have your payment method already signed in, if you use paypal or have a second page loaded up with your cart at the ready. That way, you can just refresh the page and enter your credit/debit card information right away. Don't worry if you see some of the models sold out, as mentioned above, many can be back ordered during the weekend.

Let's Talk BreyerFest...Workshops, that is!

 Roadies, Let's Talk BreyerFest....Workshops that is!

I am seeing a lot of confusion about the Workshops lately and that is perfectly understandable! The time crunch has started to make sure that you have everything ready and that things will be perfect for you to try that Workshop for the first time. So let me go over a few things that might help you.

There are three types of workshops this year, Prerecorded, Live, and VIP Only. The Prerecorded Workshops and the Live Workshops are for VIP and All Access Ticket Holders only. The VIP Only Workshops are for VIP Ticket Holders only. General Admission and Premium Access Ticket Holders do not have access to the Workshops.

The first Workshop type that we will go over will be the Prerecorded Workshops. These Workshops have been recorded by their instructor and the video along with a supply list was sent to Breyer when they were informed that they would be holding a workshop. The Supply Lists and the Workshops were announced around 4 months back and have been on the website as well as here on the group to view and purchase the supplies needed. These Workshops are free to VIP and All Access Ticket Holders and will be available all BreyerFest weekend long for you to view and complete. It has not been stated if they will remain up after BreyerFest ends.

The Live Workshops were available starting on May 10th and were previewed for weeks leading up until their release. These Workshops were for VIP and All Access Ticket Holders and did cost a fee. The supplies would be sent to the ticket holder that purchased them and they would be emailed a Zoom link closer to the event so that they could participate. Due to their popularity, two of the workshops offered a Webinar type event. For a smaller fee, the ticket holder could purchase their own supplies and follow along with the host Live, but would not be on screen and could only ask questions through a provided proxy. Here in the group, I lumped those webinars in with the Live Workshops so that there would be no confusion that they did indeed cost extra. There are still a few Webinar spots at the time of this posting. If you purchased the Webinars, you will need to purchase your own supplies for the Workshops. The receipts for the Workshops that you purchased will always show up in your Account Details Page on Breyer's website.

And the last type is the VIP Only Workshops. These Workshops are indeed for VIP Ticket Holders only and you need to be logged into the account that purchased the VIP Ticket in order to view them and their supply lists. These VIP Workshops are the same type as the Prerecorded Workshops and their videos and supply lists were sent into Breyer and will be available on the website all BreyerFest weekend long.

Let's Talk BreyerFest...Shipping, that is!

 Hello Roadies! Let's Talk BreyerFest...Shipping again, that is!

I have already gone over the details of shipping and how much the charges are and such, however in this post, I will be going over when the models should be shipping.

Limited Access Ticket Celebration Models will be shipping in December and are NOT guaranteed for a Holiday delivery.

VIP, All Access, and General Admission Event Stablemates will be shipping in July.

Other Models purchased during the event will be shipped according to availability. This means that you could receive it in July or it might be on back order and arrive later. The Holiday Horse will have a limited supply available during the event, but then will be available later on after the event as well. This is subject to change as it follows the supply and demand of certain models sold during the weekend. 

Let's Talk BreyerFest...Limited Editions

 Hello Roadies! Let's talk Limited Editions for BreyerFest! I know that many of you are interested in the Limited Editions, but this year they are a bit confusing.  Have no fear, I will definitely help clear up any and all confusion. 

First, what are the Limited Editions? The Limited Editions are models available during BreyerFest that can be purchased by any ticket holder.  There are no set limits with how many that you can purchase per ticket and having more than one ticket will not increase your odds of purchasing these models.  

    This year, there are a total of eight models that make up the Limited Editions. There are three Traditional sized models and they are portrait models of horses whose videos will be available on the Breyer website during BreyerFest. The three are: Queen of Hearts "Josie "- a bay brindle waemblood on the Bristol mold, Rheverence +- a buckskin pinto Arabian on the Ashquar mold, and Apollo- a double dilute "golden" PRE on the Esprit mold.  

   There is one Freedom Series model (This used to be the Classic Sized molds) on the American Dream mold (mustang) and it is a rainbow type color named Favrile.  

   There is one Crystal model on the Sherman Morgan mold and it is named Prisma. These models are about Curio sized, which is in between Freedom Series and Stablemate sized. 

  There is a Best of BreyerFest Series 2 Stablemate set.  This features five stablemates modeled after models released for the Fairy Tales BreyerFest. 

  There is an unrevealed Plushie and a Single Limited Edition Stablemate.  These two models have NOT been revealed yet and as soon as they are, they will be shared here in the group. 

Certain models are available on back order this year, if they sell out before you are able to purchase them. These back ordered models will NOT ship until starting in December and are NOT guaranteed for a Holiday delivery.  These models are as follows: Queen of Hearts, Rheverence, Apollo, Favrile, and the Best of BreyerFest Series 2 Set. 

Prices and pictures of these models can be seen in our BreyerFest 2021 Album here in the group. The easiest way to access this album is to click on the Announcements and go to the first one with all of the pictures.  Those pictures are all models that have been released for BreyerFest 2021. 

I hope that this has helped you a bit more in planning your adventure! 

Let's Talk BreyerFest...The BreyerFest section on the website, that is!

Hello Roadies!  Let's Talk BreyerFest.... The BreyerFest section of the Breyer's website, that is! 

So this is what you will see when you log into BreyerFest on Friday, July 16th at 10 AM EDT.  But each tile represents something different so I will do my best to go into details of what to expect besides the unexpected! 

Reminder: You need to log into your Breyer Account that purchased your BreyerFest tickets each day of BreyerFest and it is recommended to not log in early. This log in will take you to your Account Details page and from there, you will need to click on the Breyer icon at the top of the page and that will take you to the main page.  From the main page, you will see a banner that says Enter BreyerFest. Click that and you will be entered into the BreyerFest section of the website.  

All Access Ticket Holders:  You will have a special banner on your page when you log in that says Buy Special Runs here (or something like that).  That is where you will need to go to purchase your Special Runs.  You will have from 10 AM EDT on Friday, July 16th to 4 PM EDT on Sunday, July 18th to add these to your cart and purchase them or you will lose them. 

Raffles:  These will be under the Raffles Tile on this page.  Qualifying Ticket Holders will need to go to this page, starting at 10 AM EDT on Friday July 16th to fill out a simple form to enter for the Raffles.  You will need to enter for Friday and Saturday.  There will be a complete terms and conditions to read before you enter and it is recommended to read them because there could be certain limitations on exactly who can enter. 

The BreyerFest Store:  This will be where you will purchase all of your Limited Edition Models, your Merchandise, and the Grab Bags. This location had the Holiday models last year, so they could make an appearance there this year as well.  Remember that there are no restocks this year, however there are models available for back order after they sell out during the event.

The Workshops:  This tile includes all of the Pre-recorded Workshops that are available for VIP and All Access Ticket Holders.  These will be available at any time during BreyerFest weekend.  Breyer has not stated whether or not they will remain up after BreyerFest or not.  The "Live" Zoom workshops will not be on this page and they will not be recorded.  Breyer should email you the link to the Zoom workshop and that will be how you attend that Workshop.  A schedule of the Live Workshops as well as a list of all of the workshops and their supplies can be found in the Guide section of this Group. 

VIP Only:  This section is just for those ticket holders that have a VIP Ticket.  This is where you will go to see the Workshops that are just for you, videos that are just for you, and more that they have not even mentioned yet, I bet! 

The Artisan's Gallery:  This tile will contain the links to all of the artists that have signed up with Breyer to sell their wares during BreyerFest.  These links will take you to the Artist's sale pages or their galleries and from there, you will need to contact the artist to buy something from them.

The Marketplace:  This tile will contain all of the links to the vendors that normally sell during BreyerFest.  These links will take you to their websites or sale sites and you will need to contact the vendors to purchase or trade with them. 

Contest Entries:  This is likely to be renamed, but for now, I will use the name that I have on this screenshot.  This is where you will find all of the entries from all three of the Contests.  This year, Breyer is placing all of the entries on the website for viewing and not just the winners. 

Tours:  This tile will likely be the location that you will need to go to sign up for these tours. This will also be where you will go to view the tours, likely as well.  These tours will not be recorded, however there will be a recorded selection available for viewing on demand from last year. I highly recommend checking these out! You will need to register for the tours, they are free, and I recommend doing this close to when you log in on Friday as the first one is at noon on Friday. 

eBay Warehouse Finds: Ok, I will preface this by saying that I know that not everyone likes eBay, however here in the group there is nothing that we can say or do to change how they will be ran.  That being said, this is where you will find the links to the eBay auctions of the rarer warehouse finds, such as older Club horses, first production horses, and more. They are not test pieces per say, but they are some of the first ones off of the line when a model is being made for production. Roadies, remember to not overthink this at all. I see a lot of people worried about the Warehouse Finds and the Grab Bags. Breyer has not officially released exactly what will be available and they likely will not until BreyerFest. Unless they do a sneak peek. However, last year was ran the same way, kind of, so I am going off of that. 

The Warehouse Finds, which will be on eBay this year rather than the website, are the first of a production type model or a rare model or one of the Club models. These are the one and done horses, as in there is only ONE available.  

The Grab Bags, although Breyer mentioned that they would be Warehouse Finds, have NOTHING to do with the actual Warehouse Finds other than these are a collection of blind boxes that were found in the Warehouse.  These will be in the BreyerFest Store, located under the BreyerFest Store tile, and will be a BOX of an assortment of models available for a set price point.  Until they go up for sale, we have NO idea what is in them. There can be models from previous BreyerFests, models from the Clubs, or anything else that Breyer Finds. 

Seminars:  These are free for all ticket holders.  These seminars are range in type from making tiny tack to talking about horse colors and even long ear colors. 

Hands On Hobby Demonstrations: This tile will show some of the life of a Hobby member and how they do their artwork or set up for shows or so much more.  Anything can be hiding under this tile really and since it is free for all ticket holders, I say check it out!

Equine Demonstrations: During the day time, these will be coming at you live from the Kentucky Horse Park (please note that there are no actual activities happening at the park for BreyerFest).  After 4 PM EDT each day, these videos will be available on demand for you to watch. So if you missed them, then you are able to catch up! 

Celebration of Horses Show:  This tile is where you will go to view the Celebration of Horses Evening Performance.  This will not air until Friday, July 16th at 6 PM EDT, however it will be available on demand the rest of the weekend. 

Live Meet and Greets: This tile is where you will need to go to view the meet and greets.  Make sure to check out the Program to see the schedule of when your favorite hobby member will be available.   

Model Horse Shows: This tile is where you will need to go to see all of the Champions and Reserve Champions of the Model Horse Shows.  You can also log into PonyBytes to see the results of the show, free, but you do need a PonyBytes account. 

Meet The Horses:  This tile is where you will go if you want to see the interviews of all of the BreyerFest Special Horse Guests.  Dani and the rest of the horses that inspired this year's models will be here and they will be available to watch on demand so you can watch them at any time. 

Entertainers and Special Guests:  This tile is a who's who of all of the Entertainers and Special Guests that are participating in this year's event.  It is likely that their videos will be here so definitely check out this section! 

Live Broadcast:  This tile is the most important in my eyes, however how you attend BreyerFest is always up to you! This tile is where you will go to see BreyerFest LIVE from their headquarters in New Jersey.  You will see interviews with artists, get a tour of the Archive Room, and so much more! This is a must see and I will definitely share the link when it is available! 

I think that about covers it all.  Just remember that BreyerFest is what you want to make of it!  Almost all of the videos will be available on demand all weekend long, meaning that you can view these videos whenever you want. It is very likely that NONE of this will be available after BreyerFest, so as a Roadie, I recommend recording what you want to save. I hope that this has helped explain a bit of what to expect during BreyerFest. 

 

Sneak Peek Swag Released?!

 Today, Breyer surprised everyone and released some sneak peeks of their swag.  The artwork is pretty awesome, but after last year, I hope that the quality is better.  Swag will be available during BreyerFest starting on Friday July 16th at 10 AM EDT.  There will NOT be a restock so when the items are sold out, they are sold out.  So far, there are no prices listed or how much of an item will be available.  With seven days left before the event, I am getting super excited and I hope that you are as well!
