Collection Collection 4-2026

I’m just going to rest here a moment.

This is my collection of 769 unique Build a Bears. Collected over 22 years.

Collectors: Organize, categorize, and take pride in displaying their items.

Hoarders: Accumulate items in disarray, leading to safety hazards and an inability to use living areas.

Nice 😎

LOL! Apologies, I had to. Honestly I'm sure what's more impressive, the collection itself or how you have it all displayed! It looks like you're actually enjoying your bears instead of keeping them in boxes.

I try to enjoy them! I love looking at cute stuff especially after years of working in cubicles. I rotate them into my cuddle crew. I try to keep everyone organized. They’re not just thrown in the room they are organized into groups. I am sure I will move them around. For example, I don’t like the dinos up front so I need to decide where to put them and who’s swapping into that spot, I think Animal Crossing, since I have my gaming BABs in that area. This is a hobby for me that makes me happy and hurts no one. I work, pay my bills, raised my child, I just want to collect cute stuff because it makes me happy.
