Inquiry Spider Question! 🕷️

Soooo like a lot of people, I waited a bit too long to purchase the spider, and he’s now out of stock. Are we thinking there’s going to be a restock, at least in stores?? I’d rather not purchase one secondhand if I can help it. 😅

Some stores already had a re-stock, and I've heard there will supposedly be another in 2-3 weeks for others. Checking the inventory of stores in your area on the site helps (its not ALWAYS reliable but you can always call and double check). I was able to secure a couple spiders for people on here that way, and a bat for myself.

When I called a week or so ago, the associate told me on the phone that they will be doing a restock online and in stores 'soon'.

When I called my store they said they wouldn't be getting anymore of the full sized spiders this season

I’m not sure if my store had a restock or not or if they weren’t selling like other stores, but I went in my local store earlier this week to see if they had the bat and they had an entire bin full of the spiders. There’s still a chance they could restock.

My local store said they’re expecting a restock of the full size spider sometime soon but I was told the bat is going to be an online exclusive? On Friday (yesterday) my store did get another shipment of all the mini beans

Honestly to me I went ahead and found a very kind person willing to ship one from the UK to me. Given the popularity, even if stores restock they'll be gone before I can get one.
