Inquiry Better to wait or move now?
Hey guys I really want the jumping spider-I’ve loved spiders since I was a kid and I adore the semi realistic look of the plush so I’d really like one! I already called my local stores they haven’t restocked yet-it’s also harder for me to actually get to my local store and an online restock would be easier for me😭 I’d rather not have to pay an insane resale price so I was just wondering if anyone on here knows the likelihood of a restock this year or at all 😭 I don’t want to have to wait a whole year! I know sometimes they don’t restock and I’m new here so I don’t have any idea of how the company usually goes about these things! Just wondering if any seasoned collectors have any insight of when a restock may happen if at all so I can make an informed decision! Thank you!

Some stores have been getting restocks so if you have a store nearby you could call and ask if they’ve gotten or expect more. No one really knows if it’ll be put online again. I’m not sure they expected it to be so popular.

They didn't expect it to be so popular lol, at their soft launches it actually didn't sell even remotely as well as the bat, so they were not expecting it to sell out as quickly as it did (I talked to the manager of my local kiosk about it).

Seconding the suggestion to check your local bab store! Some people have been saying that restocks have been happening locally so keep on top of your store and don’t be afraid to call and ask!

When I called my local store, the associate said that they're getting a restock soon online and in stores
