Are The Grab Bags Worth It?

Deluxe Grab Bag 7

TLDR; Mostly yes - particularly Apple or Deluxe Number 7

The 2024 Warehouse Sale grab bags are out and starting to arrive so now that we know what is in them - should you get one? The extended sale ends tomorrow at 10 AM EST and the grab bags may disappear or go up in price so let's take a look. As has been the case in recent years there is nothing earth shattering in any of them, like samples or rarities leftovers, but does the value actually add up? I took a look at the contents and what they are selling for and did my own math. If the models were available on the Breyer site I used their current price (many are on sale) and for anything that is sold out or a special run I used the average selling price on eBay as a reference point.

Apple

Morganquest Native Sun	34.99
Ideal POA	44.99
ATP Power	31.19
Hope & Love Unicorns	49.99
Mini Whinny Castle Surprise	5.99
Tinsel Snow Day Pony Set	34.99
Jota	60
Queen of Hearts (matte)	60
SM Club Foals Leti & Addie	50

Cost: 199.99

Value: 372.14

Difference: 172.15

Conclusion: Buy! This grab bag has an excellent value for both collection or resale. These models are mostly on popular new molds, limited runs, and likely to increase in value in the coming years

Peppermint

Catch Me	49.99
Marc of Charm	41.24
Marciea Bey	49.99
Spectre	26
Nimbus	12
Mia Pony Playset	23.99
Mini Whinny Barn Surprise	5.99
Montanara	60
Wittelsbach	20

Cost: 199.99

Value: 289.20

Difference: 89.21

Conclusion: Good if you want them for your collection, but not so much for resale. This bag has slightly less popular molds and some less popular models so it probably wouldn't be worth it if you were going to try to resell the contents, but if you were looking to buy most of these for your own collection then it is still a good deal.

Carrot

Vivaldi de Besilu	35.24
Chocolatey	49.99
Gilded	49.99
Ceres and Minerva	48.75
Wild and Free	15
Kohl Pony for Christmas	25.99
Mini Whinny Barn Surprise	5.99
Rheverence (matte)	60
Torlinie	15

Cost: 199.99

Value: 305.95

Difference: 105.96

Conclusion: Similar to Peppermint, this one is good if you need them for your collection, but not so much for resale. These particular models have been pretty plentiful on the secondary market so they would be harder to resell, but personally I have many of them and if you needed them it's a good deal.

Deluxe Number 6

Ideal Palomino	30
Get Rowdy	44.99
Jewels	30
Mia Pony Playset	23.99
Warehouse Black Beauty	39.99
4 Horse Crazy SMs	15.96
4 BB Mini Whinnies	11.96
All About Horses Craft Kit	19.99
Red Velvet	19.99
Lysander	24.99
Ellington	35

Cost: 179.95

Value: 296.86

Difference: 116.91

Conclusion: This one is a no for me unless you are buying for a child or new collector. Although the value is there, many of these models are aimed more at the toy market and less popular with collectors. These are all pretty prevalent on the secondary market and if you are only looking for some of these you are probably better off buying them separately - many are still available on the Breyer site and if you have the club discount that extra 10% off could make the difference too.

Deluxe Number 7

Tiz The Law	40
Gold Secretariat	38.99
Omega Fahim	44.99
Keep The Peace	9.95
Rainbow Unicorn	15
Fantasy Horses Paint & Play	9.99
Warehouse Roemer	39.99
Ceres and Minerva	48.75
4 Unicorn Surprise BB	15.96
4 Mini Whinnies BB	11.96
Helios	60

Cost: 179.95

Value: 335.58

Difference: 155.63

Conclusion: If you love Unicorns and fantasy this is as great buy! It also has pretty good value for resale if you're only interested in some of the models in this box. I bought this one last year and I am not a unicorn collector but just the top three horses valued at around $140 nearly cover the entire cost so if you sell everything else you get a good deal on those.
