Stock Status 3/28/07

We received a Breyer delivery Monday that brought our stock levels back up to a pretty good level. We are still on back order for #302 the Breyer deluxe wood barn. We still have no idea when those will be delivered. We are also on back order for 2 of the Breyer "Where in the World is Pegasus" horses. We are told we can expect delivery sometime in April. We placed another Breyer order yesterday to try to keep up with the demand.

Last night we started receiving Trail of Painted Ponies "Run for the Roses", and we received another delivery this morning. For those of you who have placed your order, we will be shipping those today.

Trail of Painted Ponies shipments have been few and far between. We are still on back order for quite a few items. We're hoping to see shipments coming in all through April although we're hearing many items will be delivered in late April.

Introducing - The Crystal Twins!

Our auction starts tomorrow, Monday. We're starting off with the Crystal Twins both 1st editions both issue #1996.

The image on the left shows the base of each figurine. What you see is that both figurines have identical numbers. This is extremely rare. In the auction you will be bidding on the set. We need an opening bid of $100.00 to begin the auction.

All proceeds from this auction go to HealthWorld a (501)C3 and will be allocated specifically to the Horsense Children's Camp. For more information on the auction and our charity please view our earlier post "Auction".

Update: Run for the Roses

We've already sold the first 4 "Run for the Roses" figurines we acquired. The good news is that, this morning we found 6 more in Oklahoma and in Utah they're telling us they can get us another 12. So, keep sending those emails and we'll keep trying to find more for you.

Happy Hunting!

Great News! Run for the Roses!

Okay, thanks to one of our "best" clients we have located 4 Run for the Roses figurines at a Dillard's in New Mexico. They are shipping them to us now. We already have one request on the books for these, and if you still haven't found yours yet, email us and we'll hook you up with one of the other 3. We're still out there looking and we now think there may be a chance we'll find more. We'll be shipping these back out as soon as we receive them.

Happy Hunting!

Painted Ponies delivery scheduled for Friday!

We received an email from Westland last night that they had shipped 3 ponies we've really been missing. UPS confirmed delivery for Friday. Coming on that shipment will be "Copper Enchantment", "Sounds of Thunder", and "Silverado". Remember, these will not be first editions, those have been sold out for months. They may be second editions or they could be third editions. We won't know until they are delivered.

Update on "Run for the Roses": We have been trying to contact Dillard's to check availability. So far the only information we have received is that the smaller stores may not get any at all. That was the word from the store in Prescott, AZ. We have since called the Dillard's in Scottsdale, and they are trying to get some for us. They are telling us we may not get as many as we've asked for and that they would probably have to be shipped to us from one of their other stores. We'll keep you posted, on this blog.

Run for the Roses!

Late this week one of our customers asked us for information on a new figurine from Trail of Painted Ponies. We checked into it and found out that "Run for the Roses" had been produced for Dillard's, exclusively. In other words, we cannot purchase this pony from Westland because The Trail of Painted Ponies has given Dillard's the exclusive rights to this particular pony. This is similar to the situation with the Phoenix Pony that was produced exclusively for one of the concessionaire's at Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix.

Okay, so why are they being sold on ebay? Well, the people or companies selling on ebay have purchased some of these figurines from Dillard's and are now re-selling them at a huge mark-up. Capitalism - what are you going to do?

Our suggestion would be to purchase these ponies at your local Dillard's, you'll get the best price there. If you don't have a Dillard's nearby email us at sales@lookagifthorse.com and we'll try to get them for you. We will have to take a mark-up on them, but you'll still get them much cheaper than you can on ebay. Given the fact that only 2,500 were produced and there are over 350 Dillard's stores, they may be hard to come by.

Our goal has always been to get you the lowest available prices on Trail of Painted Ponies and Breyer Horses products - that will never change. In this particular situation, the lowest available price will be Dillard's. While you're there, check thier prices on any other Trail of Painted Ponies figurines, you'll find we are far, far below their price.
