 Let's Talk BreyerFest...Buying the Limited Editions, That Is!

This post is to explain how Limited Editions can be bought during BreyerFest, what a Limited Edition is, and where you will find them.

In Person Limited Editions

This year, all of the Limited Editions (from the Portrait models to the Crystal and the rest of those awesome models) will be located in the BreyerFest Stores, while supplies last. There will be two BreyerFest Stores, one in the Covered Arena and one a few yards away in a tent. These BreyerFest Stores will also contain Warehouse Finds, Event Swag (merchandise), and the Full Sets of Event Stablemates (Limited Supply.)

The Online BreyerFest Store

This year, all BreyerFest Ticket Holders (both in person and virtual) will be able to purchase Limited Editions from the BreyerFest Store online. This year, shipping is NOT free. The Breyer website states that there will not be any of the Full Sets of Event Stablemates for purchase at this time.

Shipping

This year, there is no special BreyerFest shipping rates at this time. The BreyerFest Blog states that shipping rates vary by location. Online Traditional and Online Stablemate Ticket Holders will have all of their Event Models and their purchased Limited Edition models sent to their location. I recommend making sure that your address is correct even now because they will be shipped to the address that Breyer has on file, as we saw for BreyerFest 2021. If you are an in person Ticket Holder, you are able to purchase Limited Editions on the website as well and have them shipped to your address.

Buying Limited Edition Models

No matter what type of ticket that you have, you will be able to purchase Limited Edition models. Limited Editions can and do sell out, however as we saw last year, with the raised numbers, these models did not sell out right away. So, I would just keep that as a reminder in the back of your mind. However, when you purchase Limited Editions during the event, no matter if you are purchasing in person or online, you are only able to purchase one Limited Edition of each kind during one transaction. You are more than welcome to make as many transactions as you want/can afford and you can purchase as many Limited Editions as you want/can afford, just keep in mind that you can only purchase one of each kind during one transaction. So you are able to purchase one of each Traditional Sized Limited Edition, one plushie, one Best of BreyerFest Series 4 Sets, one Crystal, and one Freedom/Classic model all in one transaction. However, if you want two of the Crystals, you will need to pay for the one, leave the store (in person), check your back or have a friend hold it, and get back into the BreyerFest Store line to purchase the second one. It works the same way for the virtual BreyerFest Store as well- Place the crystal in your cart, pay for it, then go back and purchase the second one.

If you want two Studebakers (the Online Only Limited Edition), you will need to buy one and pay for it and then buy the second one. But if you want only one Studebaker and one Buggy (the Online Only Limited Edition Stablemate), then you are able to purchase both of them at the same time.

So the visual break down of buy two of the same Limited Editions-

You want 2 Crystals*-

You will pay for one Crystal* and then return to the store for the second Crystal*.

You are allowed to purchase as many Limited Editions as you want, however you can only buy one of one kind at a time.

*The Crystal model is used as an example, however all of the Limited Editions will be working this exact same way.

Virtual BreyerFest Veteran Tip: Buy your model and pay for it when you see it. While you may want to just add to your cart and pay at one time, this is a recipe to maybe see your items be “stolen” out of your cart. I know, shipping is not free or pro-rated this year, as far as we know, but this will help with hoping to not lose items. Of course, it could also be perfectly fine since the numbers have raised and I am just stressing for all of you to get the models that you want.

Hope this helps!
