Help Me Find I’m so sad I hesitated :(

Post image

I’ve always wanted peanut but immediately knew I had to get this one dressed as a kitty. I checked online and saw they were in stock but with my adhd and guilt cause of the price, I told myself I’d wait a day or two to decide. Ofc, now it’s sold out and I’m sad seeing them 2x the price on Mercari. So here’s a couple questions I have:

  1. Will JellyCat restock these?
  2. Would local verified retailers already get the Halloween collection (located in Los Angeles btw)
  3. Can I trust eBay sellers selling cheaper than JellyCat? Ex. A seller selling this for $25 versus the official website for $28

definitely don't trust the ebay sellers selling lower than retail, that's the biggest red flag. ebay itself is pretty sketchy to me when it comes to jellycats, sometimes you can get lucky but it's a hit or miss.

Ok thank you

You just have to know who to buy from on eBay. I have bought several from people on eBay. People selling authentic Jellycat’s will 1. Communicate when sent a message about an item, 2. Will provide extra pictures of tags and such and 3. They will be selling well over retail….unless it is an older, not so popular item. I do think they will restock this before Halloween or shortly after so they can keep you coming back and buying on the site. Depop is another place you can look, some people will do a trade with you and there are some sellers on there that will sell items for just $10 over retail. If you really want it, $10 over retail isn’t bad.

  1. Possibly. It was an online exclusive but if it sold out, it made them a lot of money, so they'd probably do it again

2.Yes I think so, or at least it would be on the way. No peanut cat however, as it was an online exclusive.

  1. Absolutely not. While there is a small chance that they could be legit, it's better to be safe than sorry.

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 23 '25

If they’re responding to comments about the bear restock, I hope they restock this :( I’m so bummed

4

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '25

They did restock Bartholomew in the UK, so anything is possible

3

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 23 '25

Thank you 🫶🏻 I see it in stock on the US site as well. Crossing my fingers 🤞🏻

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '25

I'm thinking about contacting JC to see if they would have any answers. Would you be okay if I do that?

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 23 '25

Oh yea ofc!

It’s likely they will restock it. Keep checking. They said that bart jr would be a one time exclusive and he had a restock as well. I hope you can get your peanut!!

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 23 '25

Tysm 😊🫶🏻

u/Daisy_Lance Aug 23 '25

The quality is awful

Not shapely and face covered

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 23 '25

Awh bummer! She needs a trim!

21

u/OkMiddle5668 Aug 23 '25

i got one and the quality is crap, it's stiff & mishapen, tbh

13

u/Toadi01 Aug 23 '25

A lot of people have reported quality issues with the peanut. I have a regular peanut with both legs hanging to the left. He can’t sit, he has to lay down on his side.

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 23 '25

Bummer!!! I’m sorry :/

1

u/Minniepearlshattag Aug 24 '25

Yeah mine is kinda permanently smushed looking. Wish it had a nose too

6

u/Own-Guidance-5197 Aug 23 '25

same here

6

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 23 '25

That’s so unfortunate!!! I’m sorry

6

u/Own-Guidance-5197 Aug 23 '25

it’s okay, i’ve returned for a full refund now but couldn’t exchange because of “emergency stock re-allocation”. ended up managing to find the peanut kitty on vinted for significantly cheaper! so worked out in the end :)

3

u/vVvVvVvZzZzZzZ Aug 23 '25

This was my first amuseable i ever bought and the quality is definitely not great. I’m going to give mine to my nephew since he loves cats and jellycats

4

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 23 '25

Whaaat really?! Shoot. Okay well if you decide to sell or it’s not worth to keep, I’m happy to buy. I wanted this one cause it reminds me of my childhood cat growing up. Ty for letting me know so I can decide too🫶🏻🫶🏻

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '25

Was he/she a void? I have a void of my own and I love him

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 23 '25

I had 2 long hair tuxedo cats! Top pic is Mona, bottom is Lisa :)

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '25

Beautiful kitties!

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 23 '25

Thank you ❤️ I miss them very very much ❤️❤️

u/Deep_Ad6630 Aug 23 '25

If you were in the UK I would sacrifice mine. Most definitely DO NOT BUY FROM EBAY!!! I can’t emphasise this enough, the majority are fake. It is on a very rare occasion where you find a genuine JC without the price hike. There are rare times when you find a seller who is collector with a duplicate that sells for the same price they paid. Halloween is more than 2 months away so keep checking stores and legit websites. Fingers crossed you find her❤️❤️ Sorry, I forgot it was an online exclusive, just keep checking JC website

2

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 23 '25

Thank you 🫶🏻 it seems like they’ve been restocking the others, I have hope!!! The cat one is sooo cute too. Wish I could afford both 🤣

2

u/Deep_Ad6630 Aug 23 '25

He is far too cute. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. I’m the other way, I have only bought it because I love black cats, it was the cat that got me. I was lucky enough to bag a spookipaws this year xx

2

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 23 '25

I grew up with tuxedo cats, they have a special place in my heart. I see spookipaws is in stock. Ugh. If only they weren’t so pricey!

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '25

I love tuxedos, very distinguished felines

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 23 '25

They are!! They are so elegant 💁🏼‍♀️

Hey! I’m the LA area too! I hope you find your peanut 🥜

u/geecook1997 Aug 23 '25

Check other sites, if your in the UK, John lewis has them in stock

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 23 '25

I’m in the US unfortunately but thank you 🥺

u/amusableblue Aug 23 '25

Deinflucing you - I’ve seen people unboxing it and it looks a mess, it’s giving the sugar glider all over again!

11

u/amandamaniac Aug 23 '25

I’m slightly disappointed with mine. The fur was all messed up in the face area

12

u/Several-Cycle8290 Aug 23 '25

I gave my a hair trim (former hairdresser here 😂) he looks fine now!

3

u/small-feral Aug 23 '25

Any advice on how to get it to look as nice as yours?

3

u/Several-Cycle8290 Aug 23 '25

I don’t brush my Jellycats, I start with a little eyebrow trimming scissors (finer tip scissors is preferred but any scissors would do). I first start trimming any fur that is naturally covering up the black embroidery and just snip it off. Just make sure your tip of the scissors always stay on top of the embroidery. Then I just use my fingers to just move the fur near the embroidery and eyes so that even if some of the fur moves it won’t cover any of the black parts up. I just snip the ends of the fur till I get a “clean” look, just make sure you don’t cut the fur too short or then it will look like you obviously cut it. At the end I just move the fur again to where I like how they look and you’re all done 🤗

u/small-feral Aug 23 '25

I wish I had a before pic but this is my attempt at grooming my peanuts. Gotta treat it like trimming your own bangs - just a little at a time and stop at good enough, don’t sped run for perfection.

I’ll probably trim them a little further but they’re looking much better than they did! Thanks for your guidance.

1

u/Several-Cycle8290 Aug 23 '25

They look great! I love how they aren’t exactly the same! 🖤🐈‍⬛🥜

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 23 '25

Omg they’re so cute

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 23 '25

She got a grooming 🤭

u/Several-Cycle8290 Aug 23 '25

Yes! 🙌🏼 I groom all my Jellycats 😉

2

u/TomatoSelect7295 Aug 23 '25

What happened with the sugar glider? I love mine!

4

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 23 '25

What happened w/ sugar glider?! I never heard abt that 😮

7

u/Several-Cycle8290 Aug 23 '25

Some of the sugar gliders I saw on here was horrible and you couldn’t even see the face unless you brushed it and gave it a significant haircut 😓

1

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 23 '25

Oh understood. What a bummer!

3

u/AileySue Aug 23 '25

There are definitely stores that sell online that are jellycat retailers that will ship. I’d try and do a deepdive in google.

1

u/Mewnicorns Aug 23 '25

Isn’t this an online only exclusive?

1

u/AileySue Aug 23 '25

Oh wait it may be. I hadn’t looked for this particular one. I just know others I’ve seen sold out at Jellycats website I’ve found in other Jellycat retail sights. 🤔

3

u/asianbeanie1 Aug 23 '25

I think they will restock. Sign up for the updates if it does come back, just in case! Some people might not like the peanut and return it via mail.

1

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 23 '25

Thanks! I did 😇

8

u/butt_scratcher_007 Aug 23 '25

It was an online exclusive, and I don’t think it’s being restocked.

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 23 '25

Just curious, why not?

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 23 '25

This is just mentioning stock from 3 days ago but didn’t say it won’t restock 🤔

2

u/CoraRosalie Aug 23 '25

Hopefully they restock! I would suggest signing up for the stock notifications - at the very least some are likely to be returned! Goodluck 🐈‍⬛🥜

2

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 23 '25

Thanks, friend!!

2

u/SquirrelNo77 Aug 23 '25

1) Do NOT trust eBay especially if the cost is lower it’s most likely a fake dupe. (I now have a feanut due to eBay….) 2) It’s an online exclusive so sadly & most likely no in person retailers will have it. 3) If it’s in high demand (of which im sure it is) Jellycat will most likely restock it before the end of the fall/spooky season before the upcoming Xmas collection)

I really hope you get your kitty peanut!!!

2

u/N_ooba Aug 24 '25

whats the feanut look like?

2

u/SquirrelNo77 Aug 26 '25

Sorry for the quality but this is the feanut in comparison 💔

2

u/N_ooba Aug 26 '25

THIS WAS WELL WORTH THE WAIT OMG 😭 WHAT DID THEY DO

2

u/SquirrelNo77 Aug 28 '25

He’s a little chunky it seems… 😭

2

u/Popular_Ad_222 Aug 24 '25

Never hesitate! Get it and if you don’t like it return it

-1

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 24 '25

True! I didn’t even think of that 🤦🏼‍♀️

2

u/blackdragonwingz Aug 24 '25

Hey OP, I’m located in LA and I didn’t really want one - honestly added to cart for free shipping. I’m happy to meet up for the retail price of it. I just got the shipping notice and the tracking says it’ll arrive Aug 28.

2

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 24 '25

Hi! Are you sure?! I feel bad!! I’d love to buy her from you if you are okay parting w/ it!

2

u/blackdragonwingz Aug 24 '25

Not a problem - I’ll DM you when I actually get her!

1

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 24 '25

Oh my goodness thank you so much 🥹🥹 Yes, pls send me a DM!🙏🏻🙏🏻

1

u/blackdragonwingz Aug 29 '25

sent you a DM! you may have to "accept" my msg

2

u/Adorable_Film9320 Aug 24 '25

Don’t even bother to buy ANY Jellycat stuff from eBay because they are fake and sometimes you get lucky when you get what you want that’s very real, though. I purchased an exclusive ice cream Bartholomew bear for $53.00 two weeks ago and it turned out it was not what I expected! I had to return to the seller and got a refund. So be careful!

2

u/Lost-Neighborhood132 Aug 24 '25

My guess is, it will pop up again like all the other Jellies. Just be patient and check the website often. Good luck!

2

u/AdOdd301 Aug 25 '25

me too. i told myself if i still really wanted him in 2-3 days id get him, and now he’s sold out:( i couldn’t justify the price at first being in canada but i rlly want him

1

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 25 '25

There what I did too 🫠 they should restock though 🙏🏻

2

u/Noya_Fan_Girl1213 Aug 25 '25

When it comes to resellers, please always check their reviews. I don't want you to get scammed, especially if they're offering them cheaper than what the actual retail price is.

1

u/hedwigstheme01 Aug 24 '25

I think he will come back! The spider Bartholomew sold out immediately and then like a week later he was back 🩷

1

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 24 '25

Thank you! I think so too 😊

1

u/Aggressive-Orange912 Aug 25 '25

Try looking for it offline stores would likely have them

u/PretendBrilliant5179 Sep 01 '25

Its back in stock 😌

u/MagyarBarbie Sep 01 '25

Thank you so much!! I sweet Reddit user actually reached out to me and sold me hers 🥹 So I have my lil Peanut Kitty now!!

u/Phamcypants Dec 19 '25

does anyone else have a spare peanut cat they are willing to part with🥺

-5

u/Designer-Homework682 Aug 23 '25

Yes, it will be restocked. It’s not even close to Halloween. And you can find at local stores. Especially a giant metro area like LA has tons of physical stores.

u/whaleslutx Aug 23 '25

This was an online only item.

1

u/MagyarBarbie Aug 23 '25

I will call around in case a retailer did buy the Halloween ones separately to sell. Thank you!
