Another annoyance: people who allegedly got picked off some “wait list” for the Scottsdale Event. You guys and your imaginations!
It’s not like I had the money for it anyway. And if I did, I’d be dropping it on this guy instead:
I’m not real fussy on color or finish either, but Web Special pricing or under would be great.
Another model making me grit my teeth:
I know a lot of people aren’t all that excited by him, and wouldn’t hesitate to sell me theirs at the “right” price, but that’s not a game I play. I did not bite when I was offered Marshalls at prices I really could not afford, and the Pacer will be no different.
(I briefly flirted with the idea of showing this year, but financially and logistically I couldn’t make it work.)
For the record, outside of the Praline, the only other Pacers I’m actively looking for are the QVC rerelease of Niatross, a boxed and complete #2446 Sulky Gift Set, and at least one of the Christmas Sulky sets. (I have all the Pacers that came with, but everything else, not so much.)
Of all those, the Christmas Pacer sets will probably be the toughest to acquire; boxed Christmas Catalog releases in general are kind of a thing now (as they should be!) It’s just a matter of unfortunate timing on my part that they happen to be at the end of my want list.
I managed to get all of the other Pacer rarities before they got out of hand, so I may have to bite the bullet at some point if a set comes up any time soon.

I was hoping the racehorse mold would be the volunteer model as well! Darn! She is mighty fine in charcoal! I noticed there was a Duende in the auction lots too, I thought that was interesting since the mold is being used for Straight Bet. I'm probably just harboring false hope for that racehorse to pop up somewhere else. Oh well!
What bothers me about the "Hot to Trot" model is that it's a PACER, not a TROTTER... oh, Breyer, don't ever change.
