I know this is a Julip forum but does anyone know where you can get the Breyer Stablemates Andalusian (the mulberry grey one) in the UK? I cannot find it anywhere, I've been trying to find it for months now but every source for Breyers I can find either don't list the newer SMs at all, list some of them but miss that one out or do list it but it's forever out of stock. MPV don't have it either. I don't know where else to look. The only place I can find it is from a US seller on ebay but because ebay's global shipping programme is so stupidly expensive and not only charges more for the actual postage than it would actually cost to post but also charges import/customs fees on things that aren't of high enough value to actually incur any import/customs fees that works out at about £30 which is just way too much. Anyway if anyone knows where I can find it for a reasonable price or has one they'd sell or perhaps trade please let me know. (I'm so glad I barely collect Breyers any more because the distribution for Breyers in the UK now is so bad.)

The shipments of new Breyer items to the UK have been delayed many times over the past few months, it may be that this is one item that has been delayed? I'm sure it will appear in the UK at some point.

But the other SMs from the same collection I saw for sale months back and yet that one I have not been able to find anywhere. The new SM unicorn sets and other stuff showed up here in the past few months too but still not the andalusian. One site still says 'back in stock' on the picture and yet it's been out of stock for months. Even on Breyer's site they're out of stock. I don't know what is going on with these particular SMs but I don't want this to be another thing where I wait and wait to get it and then it just never gets here and then it's discontinued. Their availability in the UK has been bad for years now though, there are things I have never yet seen available in the UK, like many of the Mini Whinnies, and I know other people have had issues for years with getting some of the traditionals.

I've no idea what the issue is, maybe they are delayed from China? The UK availability of stock has been has been going down hill for years sadly I hope you manage to find one soon

Yeah even years back when I did collect some traditionals there were some then that got delayed repeatedly getting over here. Unfortunately I think Breyer have become more focused on the 'exclusive' (and more expensive) models and all the special runs you can only get in American stores; it's felt a bit like selling the 'regular' models and selling anything at all to the market outside the US has become something of an afterthought. I've found someone who has a spare andalusian I can trade for though!
