BreyerFest is the place to get your hands on tons of Breyer models – from new exclusives, to rare or vintage finds.
Among these new, exclusive models are each year’s Special Run models and Limited Edition models. Special Run models are only available for All-Access and VIP All-Access ticket holders to purchase, but the Limited Edition models are available* for ALL ticket holders to purchase.
So, what are these models?
Limited Edition Models
These models have been previously categorized as the “Store Special” models and the “Pop-up Store” models, but we’ve updated how we refer to them. They were found all in one place during 2020’s virtual Celtic Fling, so to avoid confusion, we are keeping them in a single category moving forward – Limited Edition models.
All of these models tie into the theme of each year’s BreyerFest. Some of these models are Traditional (1:9) scale portrait horses of beautiful, real horses that we’ve found that fit each year’s theme. Others include a squishable plush, an adorable Stablemate (1:32 scale), a Freedom Series (1:12) scale model, and anything else we think might be fun for that year.
Guests with VIP All-Access, All-Access, and General Admission tickets have access to purchase these models, though availability is not guaranteed.
Special Run Models
These models are Traditional (1:9) scale models that are specifically created for each year’s BreyerFest theme and are stunning representations of Breyer’s artistry. In 2021, these models are available for All-Access and VIP All-Access ticket holders to purchase.
This category of models has typically included 5 equine models done in real horse colors, a non-equine animal model, an equine model done as a decorator, and, of course, the Surprise option – which could be anything and might include several color or pattern variations on the same mold. Occasionally, we also sneak a few other surprises in this category as well, but you’ll just have to wait and see!
And now for today’s BIG announcement – for the first time ever, the new VIP All-Access ticket will allow those ticket holders the ability to pre-select and pre-pay for their Special Run models and a selection of this year’s Limited Edition models, guaranteeing their selection in advance of BreyerFest. This means that (you guessed it!) we will be revealing all these amazing models to our fans before tickets go on sale later this month!
A limited number of VIP tickets will be available for purchase.
Check back later today for more information on what’s included with each ticket type!
*All ticket holders have access to purchase Limited Edition models, subject to their availability. These models do sell out during BreyerFest and purchase is not guaranteed.

This makes me so furious. None of the pre-selection is fair to those who can’t buy tickets right away. We’re going to not even have a chance at the more rare models
January 08, 2021
To all those hoping they’ll limit the number of VIP tickets per collector club account to avoid scalpers getting all the models—good luck. They won’t even limit the number of CC accounts per household so those with 5-10 accounts snatch up all the limited run models there as well. Nothing like logging in when you hear of a special run, only to find out that it sold out within an hour of even being mentioned.

In response to SARLUNA:
The way it worked last year (and hopefully will remain the same for this year), was that you paid a flat international shipping rate (depending on location – Canada was $10, everywhere else was $25) every time you went through checkout. After Breyerfest was over, you were refunded all but one of the shipping rate charges. So, for example, if you checked out 5 times, you were refunded 4 shipping charges, and ended up only paying one.
In terms of how it was shipped out, they sent the celebration model out first, and the rest later – my remaining shipment came in two boxes, because there were quite a few models in them. I managed to get away without paying any import duty on the first box (containing just the celebration horse), because that one was under the limit, so sending it out in multiple boxes made sense in my case. I paid customs on the remaining two boxes, though. I would check what the rates are for your country beforehand, so you can calculate how much it would come to. Breyer can fit about 5-6 traditionals in each box, so you can figure it out from that, but they will send them in as few boxes as they can.

Amazing!!! This is my first breyer fest ever.. So thrilled!!! I hope I can get the 3 day Vip ticket… When will be the tickets on sale?
January 07, 2021
How are you guys going to do the Stablemates? I’m sure they’re be 4 in a set again. I liked how you could buy a whole set ( or not). I’d like to see that option again this year.
January 07, 2021
I think collector club members should get early access to the ticket sales
May 13, 2021
My comment on those who are saying you want to buy 4 or more …. why , what about those of us who only want 1 ? I’m planning on keeping any models I buy . Will I get a chance to do that .
Breyer consider multiple buyers . They have more than 1 email accounts , I would like a shot at a VIP ticket , been saving .
January 06, 2021
This is exciting news! Like so many others have already said, I hope serious consideration is given to limit the folks that have multiple accounts only to gouge other collectors.
January 06, 2021
People should only be allowed to buy ONE VIP Ticket per ALREADY EXISTING 2021 Collector Club Accounts.
January 06, 2021
Please please PLEASE limit the amount of tickets each person can buy. It’s not fair to those who want the ticket to actually buy the models for themselves and can’t get one due to greed. There’s nothing more frustrating to us true collectors who don’t buy 5+ tickets all to turn around and sell them for twice as much, then to miss out on getting a chance to be a vip ticket holder.
January 06, 2021
I hope there will be limited numbers per address or account so Big Stores that do Pick-Ups won’t snatch them all from the rest of the buying public. We just want fair access for the opportunity. Which means if I’m working the day the tickets are released either days or midnights, I’m sunk. Still, LOVE this idea. And I hope I have a chance at them. Thanks Breyer!!!

Question for international participants of Breyer Fest.
Is it possible to make. multiple purchases during the three days and choose if we’d want combined shipping or not?
Because In case someone of us got a VIP ticket pre-select and pre-pays for 1 or 2 models and then purchases more models during the event. Can those be combined into one shipping to save shipping costs for all the models that we might purchase and the border toll, or do we have to pay shipping cost for each order that we complete?
(will be my first Breyerfest, so I was wondering about that with the virtual festival)
January 07, 2021
I agree with those requesting limiting the number of VIP tickets per household to 1-2. It’s well-known that many individuals purchase multiple BF tickets (I’ve known people admit to buying as many as 10) in order to make a profit by selling SRs to those who can’t attend in person – however, such folk don’t have the excuse of needing to cover travel or accommodation costs this year. Let them buy as many standard 3 day tickets as they want, but restrict purchases on the limited VIP ones, please.
January 07, 2021
WOW! thats a huge update compared to normal! please please! make a blog or insta post they day before these tickets go on sale! also I believe there should be a limit to how many tickets can be purchased by one person. just to make sure it fair for everyone!
May 13, 2021
The VIP tickets sound great but I think there needs to be some sort of limit to how many can be purchased by an account. People will be scoffing them up for resale of the SR/LE models. I hope we don’t have to pre pay to soon for the models, finances are tight and it would be nice if it worked like last year when you paid for everything at Breyerfest
May 13, 2021
This sounds amazing! One concern, all the VIP tickets will sell out faster then Justify. I would like it a lot if you limited the ticket count to two per account- Because a lot of people have multiple collectors in the house who want their own celebration model: like for instants I might be buying a ticket of my friend for her birthday, and it would be nice to purchase them both on my account. Thanks Breyer!!
January 07, 2021
This is fantastic, I can’t wait! I’m hoping that I’ll be able to purchase a VIP ticket, but will be more than happy with an all-access ticket (I really want to get that beautiful celebration model). Will Breyer be able to offer flat rate shipping for international participants again like last year? That was an amazing deal, and really made international attendance a cinch!
January 07, 2021
Please, please, please let us know in advance when these will be available. A lot of of us work and need to know what time or we won’t be able to get any 😞
January 07, 2021
I agree with people saying there should be a limit on the number of VIP tickets per account… I trust Breyer that they will make it fair for all of us
January 06, 2021
Please Breyer, consider limiting the VIP tickets access to 1-2 per collector account. That way these deep pocket heavy hitters can’t snatch up 10 in one shot. People are already taking about buying 4 and up per account. That’s going to make it really hard for the rest of us.
January 06, 2021
I am looking forward to this year’s Breyerfest. Please limit the amount of VIP tickets so that a select few will be not the only ones getting them. That is my biggest problem with anything that gets put out for purchase people buying more than they need for resale.
January 06, 2021
My main worry is that the tickets (NOT buying a VIP ticket, just the all-access) will sell out immediately before I will have a chance to purchase one. Am in the process of moving to a new job so money is tight. Previous BF tickets were sold for several months, so I am hoping it will be the same for BF 2021.
January 06, 2021
I’m assuming this means that you will have to pay way ahead for the models you have pre-selected? This isn’t great in my opinion. That means you have almost no time to save before you have to purchase? I was going to get a VIP but now I’m not sure. It would be great if you could preselect and then pay on BF weekend. But I also understand you’d get a lot of people that wouldn’t follow through. It’s just that finances are tight for me right now, so it would be great if there could be a lay away program for the pre-pay thing. Thank you so much Breyer for the AMAZING Breyerfest so far, and last year’s too. Dani is perfect. :D
January 06, 2021
This is such great news, Breyer!
Thank you for working so hard to make this event as inclusive for fans as possible! I can’t wait to see what Special Runs you’ve got lined up for us this year!
January 06, 2021
We are planning on purchasing 4 VIP tickets. We were already planning on traveling before the virtual event was announced, so now this means the kitty for model purchases just got increased! WooWhoo!! My vacation days have already been approved too!
January 06, 2021
This sounds great….. but how much are VIP tickets? Sounds VERY expensive. Also, will we still be guaranteed 2 special runs if we don’t get VIP? Will there be less of the most desired models because of the VIP ticket holders? I hope I can get my hands on a VIP ticket so I can get the models I want, but I predict a fast sell out.
January 06, 2021
Thank you for the information. It looks like you are all working really hard to make this event fun and stress free. I would like to recommend that since VIP tickets are limited that only one ticket is allowed per account/address so that everyone can have an equal chance to purchase one. If there are leftover tickets by a certain date (which you can announce at the time the tickets are ready to be purchased) then it can be opened up to more than one per account/address. Thanks for considering this.
January 06, 2021
Here’s hoping those VIP tickets are limited to purchasing maybe two at a time so more people have a shot at getting them. Very excited to see all the models so early
January 06, 2021
Awesome! How exciting! Can’t wait to see everything! Those are going to sell out FAST but hopefully that will still limit the traffic to the store the day of the event. Good thinking Breyer! <3 I do hope though, that there will be a limit to the number of VIP all access tickets a single person can buy.
January 06, 2021
If I understand the new guidelines, I’m THRILLED with the preselection concepts. I want to be at the keyboard when you announce the VIP ticket sales!
January 06, 2021
This event is looking really good so far! However can you make sure to let us know when we are expected to pre pay for the models with the vip ticket? I have enough set aside for the vip ticket but not enough to pre pay for the models until at least April as ive been basing my finances on having enough for the event not in advance 😬
January 06, 2021
This all sounds very promising. I have a few questions about it all, however I am definitely hoping that I can get a VIP ticket!
January 06, 2021
WOW! I was really worried by the time we’d find out all the models, the tickets would be sold out! But this is amazing I can’t wait to see all these models and it will make my decision on joining this year that much easier! Thank you Breyer!!! So Excited!
January 06, 2021
This is amazing!!! Great idea from Breyer!!! Only question now is what actual day and time will the VIP tickets go on sale? Cause they will definitely sell out!
January 06, 2021
Love the changes, Breyer. Thank you for the VIP option, and for all the hard work performed on our behalf to make Breyerfest 2021 fun for all.
January 06, 2021
That’s very good news and I am planning on purchasing four Breyerfest three-day VIP tickets and I can,t wait until Breyerfest tickets go on sale and I can purchase my tickets and I am so very excited about Breyerfest this year and once again I just have to say Well Done Breyer Well Done.

I like the idea of limiting tickets, too, but I seem to remember Breyer saying that they’d be making a lot more (quantity, not different models) Special Runs this year. That would both make it easier for collectors to get the ones they want and also lower resale value of them, which will deter a lot of resellers anyway. I think that’s the best plan, as it solves the problem without limiting how much Breyer can earn from ticket sales.
