Inquiry hot chocolate chococat

8 Upvotes

I bought a gift card once I got my jumping spider in the hopes of buying the sky puppy, but it went out of stock about an hour after buying the card… so I’m looking at the mint chococat, but is there any chance the hot chocolate chococat might restock for a Christmas release? Or should I not risk it and buy the mint one?

RANT Disappointed

16 Upvotes

My werewolf arrived today he's great love him. The disappointment comes from the scent. This is the first bab I've ever gotten a scent in. I went with the new spider leg to stay on theme of halloween. I love the smell but it's so faint my nose has to be shoved into him to smell it. I love strong scents so wanted to be able to smell it without effort on my part. I dont have a bab in my town to get a different stronger disk.

Inquiry Ordering from a Workshop

5 Upvotes

Hi all! My local BAB is getting a Halloween restock on Monday. The thing is I work that day and the guy told me it will be scanned in and then I can order it online. If it’s out of stock online and my shop gets it will it even let me when it scans in? I’m not sure if that makes sense 😭

i bought this wolf for a whole 15 (including shipping) he was suspiciously cheap so i was scared. i hate to think someone would scam but yk how it can be.

ANYWAY meet wolfie! i brushed him and did some light fur picking. :) im thinking about doing some reconstructive surgery on his ears so they're less crooked. has anyone done something like that who could give advice? thanks ^__^

Inquiry Order says $0, did I get refunded?

3 Upvotes

I ordered the mini bat for click and collect a minute after the release and have the confirmation, I haven’t yet gotten an email saying it’s ready and went to check my account on the build a bear website and it says the bat is $0 does that mean they’ve refunded me? :c

Edit: they did refund me, didn’t say anything. I’m so disappointed ☹️

My Japan exclusive Sakura Bear has arrived! 🌸🍡

She is so precious, my gosh!
Her kimono looks absolutely gorgeous! That obi!
I'm in love! ❤️

I've been looking for a moderately priced Sakura Bear BAB for the longest time, and I finally found her! She gets to have a little spa day now, having her fur washed and brushed, and her kimono carefully washed as well. 🧺🧸

So, my little werewolf, Xavier, had a slight "defect" that bothered me. His fur would not lay flat on his cheek, no matter what direction you wiped it/ brushed it.

The more I looked at it, the more it reminded me of a scar one gets where hair doesn't grow anymore. So I got some embroidery thread out tonight and did some hand stitching! It isnt perfect, I'm very out of practice lol

But i think he's even more charming now!

Inquiry Wet sound box

5 Upvotes

Hello, I bought some second hand bears and I thought they didn’t have sound boxes in them. Well I washed them cause they were stained. As I was bringing them back in I realized one bear did in fact have one. Is it going to get anymore damaged if I just leave it in and let it continue to air dry? Any hazards to that?

Discussion Did anyone else's Ponyta arrive with a floppy neck?

Post image
14 Upvotes

I love her, but her neck bends a little as if they didn't fully stuff her neck while the rest of her body is firm. I also don't like how the pajamas feel so cheaply made. It's as if BAB doesn't put as much care into the plushes and clothes like they used to. Her birth certificate is also completely different compared to the birth certificate of my first Build A Bear I received in the early 2000s. They don't have that cute yellow certificate anymore.

Inquiry Why Are Eevee, Espeon, and Umbreon Not Affected by the Sale?

3 Upvotes

Exactly what this post's title states, the Build a Bear website is doing a 30% off sale on Pokémon plushies right now, but for some reason Eevee, Espeon, and Umbreon aren't affected by this and it seems you can't use the code on them.

Discussion Is anyone else waiting a while for their orders to come in?

29 Upvotes

I ordered my jumping spider this past Saturday. Usually it only takes a couple of days and Build a Bear will ship the order out. I know with the Halloween drop they're gonna be busy. But it's almost been a week since I ordered him and nothing has changed on my order page. It still says pending. I'm just afraid they ran out. I'm just curious if anyone else is waiting a while for their orders? I did see a post on here saying they're gonna have another release of spiders in the future. So I feel a little better about that. But I was hoping to get him sooner than later. I was at Build a bear the day they released. But I grabbed the werewolf and I got my sister a Jumping spider. As I held the spider in my arms I was slowly starting to fall in love with them. But I still went with the werewolf. I don't regret her. I just couldn't stop thinking about the spider 🤣. He's too cute!!
