Breyer 2016 Fourth of July Grab Bag

They are priced at $49.95 + $10.95 shipping & handling and have an estimated value of $110. Interestingly, Breyer’s banner ad states that there will be “Classic, Stablemates and More”. The text on the Grab Bag description states that there will be “Traditional, Stablemates, Classics, and more”. I honestly think that this was a mistake on Breyer’s part. I do not anticipate that there will be Traditional horses in these bags but you never know! I believe the Traditional Let’s Go Racing Secretariat made in appearance in the 2015 Fourth of July Grab Bags. I can’t recall if the price point was the same. Does anyone remember?Breyer 2016 Fourth of July Grab Bag

I also do not think that Breyer will sell out of the Fourth of July Grab Bags <chuckle>. I personally don’t feel that there will be a lot of demand for the Fourth of July Day Grab Bags from collectors but I do think that they would make great gifts for kids. If BreyerFest wasn’t just around the corner, I would consider sending a few of these out as presents. Here is what Breyer has to say about the Fourth of July Grab Bags:

Years ago, Breyer had some fairly awesome grab bags that featured hidden goodies like an occasional sample or test model. In more recentBreyer Premier Club Blind Bag 2016 years, it seems that Breyer’s grab bags feature the items they have a surplus of stock on. For this reason, I have not purchased a Grab Bag recently (except as a gift). I almost caved when the Premier Club Blind Bags were released but I’m glad that I held on to my money. I already have the 2015 Premier Club Models that I want to keep.

Breyer Collector's Club Grab Bag 2016In April of this year, Breyer released their now yearly Collector’s Club Grab Bags. You had your pick of 4 different grab bags. The price was $135 plus shipping and handling. The Collector’s Club Grab Bags had left over BreyerFest models in them, Traditional horses, Classics, Stablemates, Mini Whinnies and accessories. Still, their quality was nothing near to that of the earliest Grab Bags and seemed to be full of surplus warehouse stock. None the less, it was fun to see what each Grab Bag held. I know that some of you ordered the 2016 Collector’s Club Grab Bags and the 2016 Premier Club Blind Bags. What did you receive?


 

On slightly different topic, I noticed a big change in the cost and method of Breyer’s shipping! Last year, I believe that I was paying Breyer $17.50 to have 1 Traditional sized horse shipped to me. Breyer charges the same amount for shipping whether you live on the West or East Coast. I will note that I ordered a Kid’s Grab Bag as a gift and remember being pleasantly surprised by the low cost shipping. I think it was around $10 for the shipping which seemed awfully nice after having just paid $17.50 for my Premier Club Horse! Both the Premier Club Horses and the Kid’s Grab Bags were shipped via UPS. I think Breyer was trying to make the Kid Grab Bags more affordable which was a nice gesture. I would not have ordered otherwise.

Breyer Primrose 712187This year, I received a number of horses from Breyer’s website via USPS Priority Mail. I believe that Breyer made the change from UPS toBreyer Juniper 71217 USPS for shipping single horses. I first noticed this with my Stablemate Club Primrose and most recently with the Web Special Run Juniper. Both horses were shipped via USPS Priority Mail. I also ordered a number of combined orders from Breyer which have shipped UPS. This makes sense because of the size and weight of the box. I hope that International Shipping is in for a change too. As I understand it, Breyer previously charged $50 for International shipping and it was shipped via UPS. From experience, I know that an International 2 pound Breyer shipping via USPS First Class International Mail costs me approximately $25. The price varies slightly by country. The cost to ship to Canada is closer to $20.

Breyer 1757 American PharoahI just added a Traditional 1757 American Pharoah to my Shopping Cart on Breyer’s site and wasBreyer 1760 Babyflo pleasantly surprised at the shipping cost of $14.50. From personal experience, I know that American Pharoah is a heavy horse and ships at 3 pounds. For comparison, I added a 1760 Babyflo to my Shopping Cart and the shipping cost was $10.95. Also from personal experience, I know that Babyflo ships at 2 pounds in a perfectly form fitted box. It’s not easy to make weight on this one but it can be done! I believe Breyer is finally listening and bringing down their cost of shipping, Bravo Breyer!

    – Aidan's Toy Trove iss a little vanilla. Yoou mighbt glance at
    Yahoo’s front page and watch how they create post headlines to grab people interested.
    You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to
    get people excited about what you’ve got to say. In my opinion, it might make your website a littlee livelier.

  2. After I originally commented I seem to have clicked on the -Notify mme when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is
    added I receive four emails with the exact same comment. There has to be
    a means you are able to remove me from that service?
    Kudos!
