In “Throwback Thursday” style, I thought it would be fun to take a look at the surprise model from BreyerFest 2015, Quelle Surprise on the Lonesome Glory mold. How has their availability and values held up?

As with the Sambra Supresa models of 2016, the Quelle Surprises were released in four colors, with glossy and matte versions of each. You can see all the run details, and compare today’s values with the values from a year ago by clicking this blog post: Quelle Surprise!

Looking at the models that have been available on eBay and other hobby classified sites, there are still models available to be purchased, in both glossy and matte versions. The glossy Appaloosa and Perlino models are pulling the highest prices in the $400-$450 range. The glossy dun pinto is just a little less in the $350-$400 range, and the glossy chestnut falls in the $200-$250 area. Since there are 120 each of the glossy models, one can surmise that the value differences can be attributed to the popularity of each color.

The matte models follow in the same suit. The more popular colors (and in this case fewer quantities) of the Perlino and Appaloosa are pulling the higher prices. The matte Perlino is coming in around the $150-$200 range, and the matte Appaloosa in the $125-$150 range. The matte dun pinto and chestnut pinto have settled in the $100-$125 area. Still not a bad investment if you were able to get these models at BreyerFest 2015 for their issue price of $75 (if my memory serves correctly.)
