Last Day For BF Early Bird Pricing

Could micro-runs await us?!

It's the last day to get the Early Bird discount on Breyerfest tickets!

The prices go up by $5 for each ticket type starting May 1st. That's not a huge increase but every few dollars count, especially if, like me, you're still thinking of getting multiples.

I'm still mostly thinking about trying for duplicates of my top special run picks in case there are surprise limited or micro runs mixed in for the 75th anniversary. It's also that time of year where the FOMO starts to creep in... what if I DO want to try to get a couple of the other special runs? What if they also have incredible micro runs? Is that Brishen chalky? Even the dog is starting to look tempting. And I do not even remotely collect either of those two. This literally happens to me every year and by the end of BF weekend I love them all.

In 2021 I thought I was only going to need the rainbow Valegro, Pollock, because I wasn't particularly interested in any of the others. Then they threw in the surprise variations and I loved them ALL because I love the metallic and color change paints!

Here's another pro tip: If you are buying multiple tickets, consider buying them on different accounts. The online leftover sale often has a limit of one or two models per account, so if you buy tickets with multiple accounts you will be able to pick up a few more leftovers too. This year especially, again thinking there might be surprises mixed in, you might be wanting that option. Also if there are any drawings or other surprises pulled on a per-account basis you will have an extra entry for each account.

There's always the question of the actual Surprise model too. Although funny enough I don't worry about them so much anymore. They make SO many and the glossies don't tend to be extremely limited like they were in the early days. Now even if it turns out to be a must have set it's pretty easy to find trades and pick up all the ones you need close to cost. If any year was going to be crazy it was going to be the Hamilton year but it turned out all the variations were very attainable and there were plenty of leftovers.

I'm still traumatized from the Flash year
