The Mid Year Releases Have Arrived! Calavera Has Not :(

The Mid Year Releases Have Arrived! Calavera Has Not 🙁
Our Breyer Mid Year Release order arrived yesterday. It’s just me here at home, scrambling to make sure everything is ready before my departure to BreyerFest on Wednesday. As such, the Mid Year Release Preorders that were ordered through us will ship after BreyerFest. As per usual, Breyer threw in a bit of monkey wrench, just to make things fun I’m sure!
There is a delay on the production of Calavera and he did not ship with the Mid Year Releases. To my knowledge, no retailers have received Calavera. His estimated ship date from Breyer is August. If you ordered Calavera along with any of the Mid Year Releases please email us at aidanstoytrove@gmail.com and specify if you would like us to hold your order held until Calavera is in stock. Or if you would prefer to pay separate shipping on Calavera and have your Mid Year Releases ship as soon as we return from BreyerFest. Oh that troublesome Halloween horse. If it’s not one thing, it’s another! We apologize for the inconvenience (the monkey does too.)
All of the other Breyer Mid Year Releases are in stock and will ship as soon as we return from BreyerFest. Cobra’s shipping carton arrived a bit crushed. The horse himself is in great shape but some of the Breyer boxes show more damage than others. If you ordered Cobra and the box is not important to you, please let us know if it’s okay to send a damaged box (again the horse himself is just fine.)

BreyerFest Pickups – Please Read If We Are Picking Up For You
Please Check In With Us!
It’s officially Panic time, I mean BreyerFest time! I’m checking my BreyerFest Pickup List to see who has been naughty and who has been nice. I have all the orders that were placed through the website neatly on record. Thank you to those of you that used the website, it made those orders so easy! I pieced together the orders that were placed via Facebook and by email. If you didn’t place your pickup order through the website, could you pretty please shoot me an email so that I can make sure I have you on the list (the nice list)? Please email me at aidanstoytrove@gmail.com with your name and the name of the horses that are being picked up. If we are picking up a Breyer Man O’ War from the Kentucky Horse Park too please make note of this as well. We want to make doubly sure that none of you fall through the cracks!
We owe at least one ticket reimbursement and will be knocking that off as I go through the checklist. Some of you still owe balances. We are being lenient on this and will allow the balance to be paid along with shipping when the horses are ready to ship.
In Person Pickups
There are a number of you who are picking up your BreyerFest Special Runs from us at BreyerFest. I can’t blame you for not wanting to stand out in the Kentucky heat! We will have the horses (and animals!) waiting for you in Clarion Room 228. While we will be doing some of the tent lines on Friday, they will be minimal. Your horse(s) are more likely to be available to pickup Saturday evening. We will be running tent lines all day Saturday and Sunday (joyful!)
Tent Ticket Pickups and Tent Ticket Trades
If you are hand delivering a ticket to us, please come by our Clarion Room 228 Thursday evening and drop it off so that we don’t have to hunt you down (muha!)
We are looking to trade a handful of BreyerFest Tent Tickets for different times so if you have a ticket you are looking to trade, please shoot us a message at aidanstoytrove@gmail.com. We will be available to trade tickets in person on Thursday at the Clarion.
Shipping
While me may be able to ship some BreyerFest orders directly from Kentucky, the vast majority, if not all the orders will be shipped when we return home from California. You can expect your order to ship the week of July 23rd. We will be sending out Paypal invoices individually to those that still have balances due as well as for the cost of shipping when your order is ready to ship. You will receive a USPS Tracking number when your order ships. Those of you that ordered through the website have already paid shipping and do not owe any additional money.
Thank You!
Most importantly, thank you to all that have chosen Aidan’s Toy Trove to do your BreyerFest Pickup for you. We are eager to see all of the BreyerFest models in person and we can’t wait to send these fabulous BreyerFest 2017 Horses on to their new homes. Thank you everyone!

3 Days Til BreyerFest!
Breyer revealed a gorgeous (and I mean GORGEOUS!) glossy bay tobiano pinto Nokota for the BreyerFest 2017 Live Auction. He was designed by artist Gretchen Oneail and goodness did Gretchen do a fantastic job. I’m not much of an Original Finish type of gal but this guy has me drooling.

Breyer Chestnut Pinto Polo Pony – BreyerFest 2017 Auction Lot
5 Days Til BreyerFest!
Today, Breyer revealed this absolutely scrumptious chestnut pinto on the Polo Pony version of the Smarty Jones mold. He is a BreyerFest 2017 Live Auction Lot. I just love him! Thank goodness I don’t collect Original Finish! The current run on the Smarty Jones mold is Secretariat who is not the Polo Pony version but I’ll show him here for comparison:
