Just For Fun! Discovered a little hack

9 Upvotes

Hope this is allowed but you can buy yourself an egift card for $25 then get the promotional one where it’s $5 for a $10 gift card. Only thing it takes a few hours to get sent. You can save them for next time you want to make a purchase and save $5

Inquiry Any information on a last Halloween wave?

7 Upvotes

A while ago, someone found some Halloween mini bean plushies through a site called the BAB Wholesale site. Does anyone know if that was real and if it’s still happening this year? I was so excited for the zombie cow, I even bought different outfits for them, but since it’s halfway through October, I’m kind of losing hope on their release and existence 😭

My New BAB How do I fix my Starlight plushie?

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

I bought a used Starlight Glimmer plushie for a great price, but unfortunately it seems like her back is splitting open. Otherwise, it's in great condition, but does anyone know if this is even normal? I've never owned Build-A-Bear plushies before, they're not sold in my country, so I'm not sure. I would greatly appreciate any help, if there's any solution to this.

Also, is it even safe to sleep with her in this state, or it really is critical? 😕

Inquiry Advice for cleaning thrifted BABs?

8 Upvotes

I bought two bears from a thrift store, both are pretty high quality, but I want to clean them just in case. I'm gonna unstuff and restuff them, but does anyone have advice on how best to wash the skins? Most people I know just throw them in the washer, but I'm worried that could hurt them.

I wish the holiday themed bears had the texture of the Velvet bear. This was one of my favorite as a kid and regret selling it in a garage sell when I was 15

Hi all! My coworker recently altered this bear and wow I love it so much XD I accidentally snatched the bear from her and I just found it in my car, so after a quick pic and a post, she's going back to my coworker tonight! I really just love how she swapped out the foot and ear pads, and added top surgery scars 🩵

I am more of a clothes & accessories collector than a plushie collector so I was excited to see the clothes for today! The only two things I am really thinking about are the Christmas Tree Set and the Jogger Set (not available quite yet)

The jogger is soooo cute I’m obsessed I didn’t know this was coming out!! Soo cute.

Are y’all getting any clothes from the drop?

Can I see what shoes you have on your spiders? I love how the converse look on him, he's a lot heavier now 😅 I want to make him a set of slippers eventually. Excited I can take him outside now since he won't be touching the dirt now 🕷

I saw a few people putting overalls from 'five below' on their bat keychains when they first dropped and thought it was adorable. Since I have neither a five below nor a keychain though, I decided to make my own overalls!

Inquiry Tips for custom hearts?

3 Upvotes

I was wanting to make a Pokémon themed heart for a Pokémon Build-A-Bear. I know you can't stuff them in stores, so I bought one that was already stuffed and plan on inserting a custom heart at home. Is there any way I can attach gems or sequins to a regular red heart as well?

Finally got one of my absolute dreamies 🥲 I actually put in a bid for her at $100 online and the profile was inactive thankfully because she came back on the website THE LITERAL NEXT DAY. Thank you for not checking your app. I owe you my life.

Also: the employees sold me two of the last unicorn horn scents so I could put them in her when she came in. Now she smells like a meadow 🌷🌻🪻🍃

Hi, I am looking to buy the Floppy Dalmatian as I have the Floppy Bear from 1997 and always wanted the Dalmatian too!

When looking at listings online I come across many that say they are the floppy Dalmatian 1 but the tags look different. Is there some characteristic differences between the 1 and 2 Floppy Dalmatian?

(First 4 pictures is one listing and the last 3 pictures is a different listing)
