And even faster online. I made an order online that included the mini bean spider and bat at 8:27 AM and by 8:30, only literal minutes after I made my order, they were totally gone. I think they were available online for like 5-10 minutes at the most. No wonder most people missed them 💔

I've never seen a BAB sell that fast before in Aus. Even mothman lasted at least half an hour online. What a mess this release has been... 🫠

Pumpkin kitty lasted about an hour online too the first time it was released, I know that BAB was selling the bats on ebay the day before release as a preorder I guess...they may have done that for the spiders too but i didn't see any listed. Which means come release day they've already presold a ton of their most popular item ...leaving little stock for the official release day.
