Grand Champions! NIB! On store shelves!

There was just this one guy left among all the other older and newer toys (why does ace have so much overstock?) He was also loose in the box...

Since the package was damaged and he isn't terribly rare or old I set him free

Looking good!

Yeah :). He's from 2006~2007-ish in case you were wondering.

How long ago?

So still a good 10 years after the end of G2.

I remember when my family and I drove Route 66 several trading post-like stores we stopped at still had older Breyers (like '90s and earlier) on the shelves at retail prices because they'd never sold. It's always possible, I suppose! Makes me wanna go out and look for 'em too :frolic:

Oh that would be so awesome to have a look at those Breyer horses!
