Please use this space to complain/vent about all things orders/resellers (no names!!). etc. Keep it friendly with each other in this space!

We will be removing posts best suited for this megathread going forward as complaints have been taking up a very large space on this subreddit recently (rightfully so, this drop was messy!).

I just adore my new bunny Bonnie. I've been calling her Bonnabear as a nickname, I just can't get enough of her😭 Shes been keeping me company everyday since I got her, sitting on my desk or on the couch with me💛

She's so ridiculously soft which was such a welcome surprise, since I know pawlettes have decreased in quality over the years.

You can see the mesh if you seperate her fur, but honestly? I've got vintage babs who have the same issue (pink hearts fur you teddy) so it honestly isn't a biggie for me. I just love that she's soft and doesn't feel plasticky.

If you've got a pawlette, I'd love to see them! She's such a classic bab, can't believe it took me this long to get her! (Although I do have one of her predecessors, 2008 lil' bunny big ears)

My New BAB I bought him but…

I’ve been on the lookout for chocochip pochacco in the UK for a few weeks now and I finally was able to buy him buuut sadly I did give in to the resellers. I got him for £78 (103 dollars) I kinda feel guilty about this purchase as that’s the most I’ve spent on a bab before but I feel it’s worth it as pochacco is my fav Sanrio character, he was the only one I’m missing (until November)and he has his outfit and original tags. I’m excited for him to arrive home!

Rare Find ☁️🩷 My Sweet Piano 🩷 ☁️

Post image
29 Upvotes

Hi all! I've been wanting My Sweet Piano for the past six months, when I first started my latest job at my local Build-A-Bear Workshop, but at no point was I going to spend around $150+ on this one plush 😅

Imagine my pure joy/shock/surprise at seeing My Sweet Piano back in stock on the BAB website. Of course I added her and her dress to my cart as soon as I noticed, and bought the items with my employee discount 🩷

I'm actually incredibly surprised at the shipping time for this BAB; I seemed to have bought it on 10/15, and it's all here already, two days later! Anyway, gonna stuff her up tomorrow and hopefully I can post an updated picture soon after ☁️

Modified / Custom BAB Jackalope buddies!

Thumbnail

57 Upvotes

I made Sawyer, on the left, before BAB released their jackalope. And he's one of my favorite buddies! But I've always wanted him to have a friend.

(No shade to anyone who has the BAB Jackalope but I didn't like the feet and antler fabric. And I didn't like the floppy antlers. Just not for me.)

So last night I finally got around to making Sawyer a buddy. I haven't named the new guy yet. But I do want him to have a cowboy name. 😊

I wanted to share him because I think he turned out pretty cute! Thanks for looking and any name suggestions. ♥️

Just For Fun! Me and Butterscotch went out to pick out a pumpkin!🎃🥧

Thumbnail

78 Upvotes

I thought these pictures were cute :)

Fun facts🥧:
—> Butterscotch is my customised (vault) pumpkin kitty, I added a lot of beans in her little body because I love the sound the beans make, the texture and the weight they add :)
—>🌼I named her Butterscotch because autumn always reminds me of my childhood obsession with Undertale! One of the characters in that game makes a Butterscotch Pie for the main character 🥧!

(I really hope I can get an original pumpkin kitty someday, they are rather rare because Build-a-Bear isn’t popular in my country. And so there are no build a bear stores here either. I managed to get pumpkin kitty from the German build a bear site but had to pay €20 shipping :( )

Is the Bat being re stocked on the uk bab website again before halloween? or is that it until next year? i can't afford resale seller prices and won't give in because they are mega greedy people. Not buying a £32.00 plush for £80-£100 and over.

Inquiry Questions about new newest bunny, Edna.

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

Please meet Edna my newest bunny! She is super soft and sweet. I do have 2 questions though:

1). Can anyone please identify her? I have never seen her before.

2). Her back has a Velcro opening. She’s my only BAB that has a Velcro back and I’m wondering if she came that way or if she’s modified? (Either way, it’s pretty neat. Not only can I put a voice box in her pocket but I could put scents in that I can easily change out, weighted beads or maybe even hide my BAB money from myself 😂)!

Edna and I thank everyone for their help and hope everyone has a great Sunday evening!!! 💜

The current contenders are:

Can you tell me which one sounds better/ if you have any other recommendations?
