Let's Talk BreyerFest Recap- The Special Run Preference List
There are MANY posts about the Special Run Preference List here in the group and several of those are in the Let's Talk BreyerFest Guide. This is one of the most posted about things of BreyerFest since its inception during BreyerFest 2020.
So what is the Special Run Preference List? The Special Run Preference List is a way to rank the Special Runs to tell Breyer how you prefer them.
Who can fill out the Special Run Preference List? All Access Ticket Holders that purchased their tickets on or before May 22nd.
Do I have to buy the Special Runs? No, you do not have to buy anything that you do not want to buy.
How should I fill out the list? It is all up to you! I always tell people here in this group to not let others dictate how you want to fill out the list and I will preach that until the day that the Special Run Preference List is no more. It is a Preference List for a reason, it is designed to tell Breyer how you would rank the models, not how others would rank it. So the best advice: Fill out the list on how you want it. If you are only interested in a few of the models, then place them near the top. But keep in mind that you might not be pulled for those models. We do NOT know Breyer's algorithm on how they pull the names and assign the models and while the past two years, many people got their top choices, it cannot be predicted on what will happen this year. Personally, I would fill out all of the options, leave no blanks because you can sell or trade those models to get something that you want.
What is better: The Master List or the Individual List? Again, that is a preference thing. If you have many tickets, then the Master List will help you be able to limit how many duplicates could be pulled for your account since you are ranking the Special Runs for all of the tickets on one list. If you have one ticket or you do not mind duplicates, then the Individual List might be better for you. It is a better way to try and control Breyer's algorithm, but again it could backfire and you could have several duplicates.
Can I select two of the same model? No, you cannot purchase two of the same Special Run. If you have one ticket and want two of the Surprise Special Runs, then you need to either buy a second ticket and try that way or purchase one second hand. If you have more than one ticket, it is then possible to get more than one than of the same model, if they are pulled for different tickets.
What if I don't fill out the Special Run Preference List? Then two Special Runs will be selected for you at random by Breyer.
How long will I have to fill this out? Typically you will have two weeks in order to submit your Special Run Preference List. Breyer will accept the last submitted list so you can change it several times, if needed.
What if I do not get the emails? The direct link will be shared in the group, you merely need to log into the account that purchased the BreyerFest All Access Ticket and you will be there.
When will tickets be shipped? In June
Definitely make sure to read up more about this List in the Let's Talk BreyerFest Guide under all of the posts that are labeled Special Run Preference List. I promise that by the time that you have read them and this, you will be a Special Run Preference List master!

Let's Talk BreyerFest Recap- The Special Runs
The Special Runs are highly anticipated for BreyerFest and people will start looking forward to them before Breyer even thinks of releasing them on the BreyerFest Blog. But what makes a Special Run? Who can buy them? How many can you buy? There are so many questions that surround these models, but I am here to answer them!
What are Special Runs? Special Runs are models that are available to certain ticket holders only. The VIP and the All Access Ticket Holders are the only ticket holders that can purchase these models. Special Runs are a set of nine different models, eight horse molds and one animal mold, that range in price from $60 to $85. There can be variations in these models from different manes and tails to different colors to a split between matte and glossy. Special Runs are never themed to the event except for the name.
How many Special Runs can I buy? That depends on how many tickets that you have. If you have one VIP Ticket, then you are limited to two Special Runs that you have already paid for. That is it, you cannot purchase anymore. With the All Access Ticket, you are able to purchase two Special Runs per ticket. So, if you have one ticket, you can purchase two Special Runs. If you have two tickets, you can purchase four Special Runs and so on. You cannot purchase more than two per ticket and the MUST be two different types of Special Runs, so you cannot purchase two of the Surprise Special Runs unless you have more than one ticket.
What is the Surprise Special Run? The Surprise Special Run always causes a little bit of confusion each year, especially with those that are new to the event. However, just keep in mind that it is the same as the other Special Runs. It might cost a little bit more and you do not know the mold or the color, but it still counts as one of the Special Runs and counts as your one of two per ticket.
Who can purchase Special Runs? VIP and All Access Ticket Holders are the only ones that can purchase Special Runs. VIP Ticket Holders have already selected and paid for their two Special Runs so they have nothing more to do until picking them up during BreyerFest. All Access Ticket Holders that have purchased their ticket on or before May 22nd will be using the Special Run Preference List to reserve their Special Runs while the All Access Ticket Holders that purchase their tickets on or after May23rd will be purchasing their Special Runs from the stock that is on hand at the event.
How much are the Special Runs? Special Runs range in price from $60 to $85
Will the Special Runs be shipped to my location? No, you must pick up your Special Runs in person or purchase them and pick them up in person if you are an All Access Ticket Holder.
How will pick ups work? If you are a VIP Ticket Holder and are having someone pick up your models for you, you simply just need to have them present the Redemption Tickets. If you are an All Access Ticket Holder and reserved your Special Runs with the Special Run Preference List, you will need to have your pick up person present the Reservation Ticket and they will need to pay for the models then.
