2007 Breyer Mid-Year Releases

This is what I know about the Breyer mid-year releases:

2007 Breyer Animal Collector’s Guide - The fifth edition of this popular guide is the most complete yet, containing thousands of photographs and completely updated values. The authors provide concise and descriptive information on all models known to collectors.

Sierra Blanco (Fall Collector’s Choice) #1181- a steel grey Tobiano Paint on the "Smart Chic Olena" mold.

Black Gold w/book #1294 - story of a Thoroughbred born an underdog, but backed by the faith of an old man and a young talented jockey, Black Gold surprised them all by winning all of his races, but would he be ready for the biggest race of the year - the Kentucky Derby. The original Black Gold was a 1985 Montgomery Ward special run. The new Black Gold is on the same San Domingo mold, but has a star and dark hooves.

Brighty of the Grand Canyon w/book #1295 - story of a Burro

San Domingo w/book #1296 - story of an Indian Pony with Medicine Hat pinto markings (as seen in JAH).

My Dream Horse Pour & Mold Activity Kit #4129 - Great fun is guaranteed when Breyer fans can create their own lying foal model using a mould just like Breyer. They can even paint their new horse bay, grey or Appaloosa. Paints, brushes and an instruction booklet included. Kit provides you with all the tools you need to make your own 3-D lying foal model. Easy to use, just mix the enclosed plaster with water and pour into the unique Breyer sculpted model latex mold.

Stablemates Riding Academy #59202 – It has a roof that lifts open, movable doors, classroom, and tack area.

Stablemates Play Mat #59230 - 3' x 5' polyester w/foam back (Stablemate Palomino stock horse included)

Mini Whinnies Adventure Truck & Horse Trailer #300150 - The new Adventure Vehicle (Jeep) and two-Horse Trailer is the first vehicle in the Mini Whinnies range. With wheels that roll, there's nowhere it can't go! The trailer even opens and closes so the horses can get in and our easily.

I don't have pictures yet. I will put them on my web site as soon as I get them (and Breyer lets me).

US Post Office - Priority Mail

Effective May 14, 2007, the US Post Office has implemented "dimensional weight" pricing on Priority Mail shipping (to zones 5 - 8). What this means is that the weight of a package is determined by the size of the box. Obviously, finding a way to have my web site calculate "dimensional weight" on-line is very difficult.

Therefore, I am left no choice but to eliminate US Priority Mail as a shipping option from my web site. If you want an item shipped US Priority Mail, please email me and I'll calculate the shipping cost manually and will email you back .

I have negotiated a cheaper rate for UPS shipping. UPS shipping is almost as fast as US Priority Mail shipping.

I apologize for this inconvenience and hope that you understand.
