B...Well said Kelly and VERY WELL PLAYED BREYER!!!! Breyer did an excellent job of making the surprises random this year. It made ALL the attendants feel like they had a chance to get something special. <br /><br />The NPOD and kid’s costume contest changes were long over due. I use to read this blog for Breyer trivia and thought I might find some after Breyerfest, but no it is filled with personal life drama and teasers. The complaining and sense of entitlement is very unbecoming. Complaining about not being lucky is just childish. If I want to read that kind of stuff, I can go to FB and find all I want and more. <br /><br />Breyer did SO many positive, fun things this year and people should be thanking them!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371380495065351450.post-81253380166026854002014-07-17T14:25:36.814-04:002014-07-17T14:25:36.814-04:00Wonderful test Kiowa, Andrea.

I think people will still spend the night if they want, and still have an overall edge at shopping compared to someone strolling through say at noon on Saturday but it's nice they are attempting to level the playing field. I do the NOPD every year (I don't spend the night though) but mostly to get whatever store specials interest me. If I find something else, it's a bonus. After all the store specials are snapped up quickly! Being short doesn't help.....Denisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371380495065351450.post-18886965353204941702014-07-16T20:08:58.923-04:002014-07-16T20:08:58.923-04:00Breyer attempted to make the process more fair by ...Breyer attempted to make the process more fair by stating they were going to spread items out over the weekend, and by golly they did. Isn't that enough? With all of the complaining (not just by you, but by many in the hobby) that the same folks win prizes, get picked for volunteering, win a particular model, or manipulate rules to their advantage, isn't it refreshing that the new NPOD process evens the playing field for everyone? <br /><br />What good would it do for Breyer to provide bagels or a fruit plate to people waiting overnight? They and the KHP are generous enough as it is, permitting folks to camp out the night before on private property. The little extras like the shopping bags for the Celebration model and blankets with each purchase were welcome surprises that truly made the event special. Lately, there has been a sense of entitlement from hobby folks that Breyer owes us something - but they don't owe us anything other than the models that we purchase.kelly7874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371380495065351450.post-10889052182258945192014-07-16T18:41:43.812-04:002014-07-16T18:41:43.812-04:00I have only gone through the NPOD and I loved it. ...I have only gone through the NPOD and I loved it. To me it was fun. I am tall so was able to grab horses shorter people couldn't reach. I got my last coveted Creepy Meow for $5.00! Were there line cutters? Probably. That is just wrong and irritating for those of us who follow rules. I didn't get anything super rare or special but it was still fun. I'd hate to see it end but as usual a few bad actors will ruin it for the multitudes who behave themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
