popping in to say, im another breyer collector who stumbled apon this thread!
I got my first breyers at age 7 or 8, they where a stablemates "prancing ponies" gift set of i think 4 adults and one foal as a christmas present. Been obsessed with breyers ever since.
Now that im a young adult, my main focus is to acquire my most wanted models/grails from my childhood. I really only collect traditional and stablemates, but i do have one classic, a bucking bronco from 2000. I also love to get my hands on affordable after-market breyerfest/celebration/club models as i cant afford to waste so much money to be in their clubs at the moment, and traveling to breyerfest would cost me more in traveling than my ticket and models..
currently i have 15 traditional models (4 in box)
20 stablemates (incl. NIB Collector club model "Chroma")
10 schleichs ( 5 cows + one piglett)
+ 1 Peter Stone "Woody" on their reiner mold w/ box + certificate
My most valuable model, as well as my achieved holy grail #1 is my Four Seasons Treasure Hunt chase piece "Winter/Wintersong" in matte version. my amazing bf copped him for me for around $150. hes LSQ minus a minor ear rub that can be fixed. Ive never seen him go for sale less than $200 again (ebay).
I dont have anybody in my personal life who collects model horses, nor have i ever. So I get pretty excited talking about my collection of plastic ponies lol. Its a "small" collection but i ride the line between buying valuable/rare models and models i just plain enjoy
also eternally grateful to have a partner who doesnt mind me having shelves dedicated to my overpriced plastic horse collection
