Welcome to Shannon's Breyerfest Pickups
Hi there! I'm Shannon, and welcome to my Breyerfest 2025 Pickup page!
I'm planning on offering pickup services again for 2025. This will be my 13th year doing Breyerfest pickups. As always, pickups will be available on a first come, first served basis. I will offering Special Run pickups once again, and I will be offering a new service; Hand-Picked Limited Edition items! I know how frustrating it can be to purchase a Limited Edition directly from Breyer, and find that it is covered in flaws. If you're looking for an LE model with excellent shading and crisp markings, I'm your girl!
Now, I'm sure that you're all going 'Well, online attendees can buy SR's now. Why would I get pickups?' Well, there are a couple of very good reasons to go with a reputable pickup person!
Reason #1 - Online attendees may only get access to some of the SR models. If this year is like the past few, online attendees will have access to a selection of SR models, but not all of them. What if the model you want isn't one of the ones included? Even worse, what if it is, and you don't get drawn for it?! What if you spent the money on the ticket, just to get drawn for your last choice? Who wants to risk that?
​
Reason #2 - VIP tickets cannot be redeemed online! If you want to be guaranteed your models, complete with the Stablemates, LE's, and SR's, you'll need to have them picked up in person!
​
Reason #3 - I can help make sure that you get the versions of the models you want! How frustrating was it to fall in love with the modified tail on Fight Song, jut to get sent the normal one from Breyer? Then you had to try and find a trade, and pay the extra shipping, and hope that it arrived safely. Isn't it easier to turn to someone who can make sure that you get the variation that you're looking for?
​
Reason #4 - I check for flaws! I know that some of you ended up with horribly flawed models directly from Breyer last year. I'm here to ensure that it doesn't happen again! I'll make sure that your Surprise model isn't covered in silver paint, and that your glossy split run model doesn't have an ear missing! Who wants the hassle of having to return the model for a refund, and then hope that you can find a nicer copy?
​
Reason #5 - This is a big one... Breyer no longer offers Paypal Pay-In-4! I know that there are a lot of people who rely on financing options like that to afford their models. Sure, there are other options, but a lot of them charge interest, or have specific requirements for registration. Guess what? I don't! You can pay your deposit any time between February and April, and then have until the end of June to pay the balance. That allows you to spread payments out over up to five full months, interest free! You're not going to find a better deal than that!
​
Reason #6 - I charge the actual cost of shipping and insurance, worldwide. I also pack models the way I would want to receive them. There's none of the whole 'one piece of brown paper in a gigantic box' nonsense over here! It's really easy to spend over a lot at Breyerfest and, as we all know, Breyer's shipping costs are absolutely crazy! Who wants to spend $300 on their models, just to spend up to $80 to have them shipped to you? We all know that those models aren't packed well, either, so there's a good chance of them being damaged on the trip to you. You've put your trust in me, and I guarantee that you will receive your model without the damage that so many of the models shipped from Breyer are seeing.

So, with all of those good reasons to opt for pickups, why not send me a message?
