I saw a metallic silver horse and begged for it Christmas. At the time he was $50 new and most breyers I was getting at farm & home were $10 to $20. When he came he was this weird slate grey Color and it was soo hard to hide my disappointment and not let my parents send him back. Does any one know what the story was there? I kept that castalog with thesilver metallic looking horse for years but have never heard justification of the huge differance between what I ordered and what we got... <br /><br />draelynkharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02524016840086288499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371380495065351450.post-25929994395603674502012-12-22T22:47:09.648-05:002012-12-22T22:47:09.648-05:00Man, that sale was so chaotic!

When I saw Silverado and Rubicon, I think I stopped breathing. Unfortunately when the pages finally worked for me, everything was gone and I settled for a Melange (which is completely fine, I REALLY wanted her anyway) I definately hope to see something like this again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371380495065351450.post-28096414959891315762012-12-22T17:06:47.690-05:002012-12-22T17:06:47.690-05:00(BTW, am I the only one that thought "Where’s...(BTW, am I the only one that thought "Where’s Xavier, Cyclops and Phoenix?")<br /><br />^<br />I have now spent far too much thought over what mold Breyer would use for Xavier!

That's less than half the price of a Venti cup of whatever you drink at Starbucks. <br /><br />If you are buying Breyers/Stones/etc for the sole purpose of flipping for a quick buck, you are going to be disappointed. Instead of wasting money in hopes you hit the next hot thing, you save your pennies for something you actually like? Meanwhile, someone who actually likes the model you're buying to flip can actually get one at cost instead of going through opportunistic greedhounds for it.<br /><br />I loved the Vault idea, I didn't end up buying anything (too slow for Valiant, Giselle is one I want to get but the funds weren't really there for me and I already had the two JAH SRs... everything else wasn't anything I really needed to have). Would love for Breyer to do it again!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371380495065351450.post-9723011679400154472012-12-22T12:01:25.606-05:002012-12-22T12:01:25.606-05:00Oh, for heaven's sake...

(Except Yahoo groups - that epistemic closure thing? Exhibit A.)<br /><br />And also, if you're buying Breyers for investment purposes, you really, really need to get a better financial advisor.

Maybe you mean the few folks commenting here that aren't members -- as it has to be way more than a small percentage of adults in the hobby (if not a majority) that can't afford Club membership or to get a $150 model more than once in a long while. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
