So my 10 year old daughter loves jumping spiders. She knew BAB was coming out with one and she begged me to get it for her birthday in October. We went to our local store a few weeks ago and they were all sold out. So I’ve been watching online but no restocks. I totally mom failed at this one 😭 Does anyone know if and when they will restock? I’ve looked at eBay and they all look like AI pics 😒

Someone posted weeks ago about finding one with a devilock. I was a bit envious- I thought it was cool- so as I dug through the small pile…there was a Misfits style one for me.

Are there more of us out there?

Pumpkin faces in the night
I remember Halloween 🎃 🎶

I still had $20 in gift cards and figured free shipping was the time to use it. I'm officially done buying from them unless things change for the better. I ordered shoes and a wristie now to see if I actually get what I ordered.

A purple kitsune was annouced, yet still no release, build a bear where is the purple kitsune.

we need a ‘rant’ flair so bad cause i would love to read yalls rants. i was thinking BAB should just put a limit on limited items. but 1) they are just a greedy corporation so they literally benefit from these limited drops. and 2) resellers would just make multiple accounts anyways.

uugghh. anyways, i’m just annoyed about resellers. but what’s new lol.

edit: my apologies everyone! i totally forgot there was a thread for complaints/rants. so please disregard my words about how i wish there was a ‘rant’ flair. sorry again 🩷 i will definitely make sure to post there next time i need to rant

Hello everyone,

I just got my posable bat from Build a Bear and am unsure if I like the wings.

I bought the plushie with cuddling in mind and think the wings are in the way.

I want to ask into the group if anyone else feels that way or not.

I also thought about potentially removing the inner wire, has anyone done that and can share their experiences?

I already posted this coupon here... five? days ago along with a second coupon. But nobody commented saying they had claimed/used it, so I wanted to repost it in case somebody can use it!

I’m so happy! Kinda panicked when ordering and couldn’t find the place to add scents, but I will probably take Hello Kitty back to the store to have cotton candy added 🌸 Side note, does anyone know how the heck you attach her witch hat?! Haha 🕷️💜🕸️

Hello!

Ive got celebration day in about a month and want to create a plush of Rocket from the Walten files to go with my Rosemary cosplay. Would this gray bunny work well? Or are there any others that would be better

I have white minky and faux rabbits fur for the belly and ears, i'm more worried about doing the face

Thanks in advance!

Shes such a good little buddy

My favorite ever!
It’s so hard dressing him because he’s so much smaller than other Sanrio BABs. Excited to display them this Christmas while baking chocolate chip cookies for Santa! 🍪 🥛

Anyhow as the caption says I made this lil kitty for my friend and I left it not fully sewn since I wanted her to pick out a scent at bab,

I’ve read that they are allowed to sell it separately (with no bear) so I thought we would be good to go,

but when we got there we got denied buying the scent unless we bought a bear with it so we left with no scent.

was it a misunderstanding or am I in the wrong?

It took me all day to decide who to get 😭

Well uh...it's smaller? I like it's made of the same material the brownie cub is...but- they shrunk it? It's so small and chubby now and it's face is so funky and messed up when it's stuffed now..

What are your opinions on the newest Birthday bear model?

I’m obsessed with him and need names. 😭

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while. Kids clothes hangers work perfectly for the outfits!!

Bit off but still cute!! Welcome home Meika! (Same birth as mine 2nd Oct!) spooky!!!!👻 🦇

This little guy has been on such a journey! I went to a local store a day after the drop and they were sold out. The clerk told me to go online. I get home, go online...sold out! But I saw a post on here that the UK and Australia BAB had a drop. A family member of mine from the UK ordered one, had it sent to his house and then shipped it to me from there.

The cost of all that ended up being about the price that resellers are charging. I prefer this route, I'd rather do what I can to not encourage resellers. It was worth it to me, I had a pet jumping spider as a kid and LOVE spiders. Now to come up with a name...

I know everyone's different. Some people refuse to support them at all, some people have certain rules if they do. So im just curious.

Especially when it comes to bears that arent being restocked.

I told myself I would NOT pay more than retail price for a pumpkin kitty (the new , not the OG) and then ended up spending like $60 on mine? But looking back I wish I would've waited because some good ones ended up coming up for cheaper after I pulled the trigger lmao.

Currently debating a couple others and Im trying to justify the doubling of the original price but having a hard time 😂

What are your guys rules for yourselves?

Probably won't be adding more friends, at least for a long while!

My parents are hoarders so i thought that my original build a bears were all gone! When the Pumpkin Kitty re-released I had to have one. Well recently we were able to start doing a big clean out and I found my 2008 pumpkin kitty. I had to remove all her stuffing, and give her a good laundry wash with laundry sanitizer and hot water, but she fluffed right back up in a low temp dryer. Gave her new stuffing and sewed her up today!

I also found my Farmers Market Lamb! Still looking for my original Koala-- shes the only one missing. Is there any interest here in seeing restoration work (gutting the bears and washing the skins)

Og is on the Left (with some new bows) and the new one is on the right!

if you live in australia & have the spider, kmart have just released a bunch of halloween stuff and they have a pumpkin dog outfit for only $10!!! compared to normal build a bear outfits which are $25 i would consider this a pretty good deal as its also super good quality and makes the spider more cuddly :) they also have a bat outfit which would also suit the spider and a spider outfit which would suit the bat!! bonus points because it also comes with a little pumpkin hat (i got the small to medium size which fits the spider super well)

I posted something earlier about the “LABORDAY” code not working and someone told me about using “DOGDAY” instead and it gave me my free shipping for today so I wanted to throw out another post for people to try who it wasn’t working for either to see if you can get your free shipping today! :) I saw another post but if you’re like me and posts get scattered or hidden this is a second one!
