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.
