Lately they've been making me mad at them because they decided to have a 'vintage' section, but half of the things they think are super-old-and-worth-a-lot-of-money are reproductions. They had a re-released Fisher Price record player, I thought it was the old style and got excited (I would have paid the $12!) but no. I told them:
"It's not old. It was just released about a year ago."
"What? How do you know?"
"The original didn't rely on batteries. You can buy this brand new for $20 at Wal-mart right up the road."
I have no idea what they did with it, but I didn't purchase it.
And in the realm of irony, I also bought a tiny little teddy bear with a VW tag on his chest for less that a quarter. Because I saw a button in his ear and knew what it meant. Turns out he's worth about $80. (Although I would never ever sell him. XD I put him in the 'special bear' cabinet with a little VW bug Hot Wheel. 'Special Bears' don't come down to play, they just like to watch over everything and make sure it's going well. :3)

CuddleWoozle said:They did have specialized sound boxes to put in them, so it's possible. Only one way to find out for sure, though, and that would be to open him up and see what it is.
The heart always seems to go in last at the top of the fluff in the back. At least that's where I've always put it at the BAB I go to.
KimbaWolfNagihiko said:I've never actually been to Build-a-Bear, although I've been to one or two malls with one. I always wanted to go as a kid, but after my first-cousin-once-removed went and I found out how expensive it was, my hopes were dashed. So Chase is my first plushie from there.
One of the local grocery stores once had a knock-off bear-building station set up. I went to check it out but passed on making anything. I don't think it lasted very long.
KimbaWolfNagihiko said:Yeah, it was on my local news about the crazy lines that formed at malls for the pay-your-age promotion and how they had to cut it off.
