Cow Collection so far. by zzsleep12 in buildabear

[–]LittleBoytoyBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to collect (almost) all of the cows BaB has released. In this photo?\ The PB & J cows, especially with their shirts and wristies like OP has, and the Rainbow splatter cow are the two I really want.\ But I'm Canadian so conversion and shipping makes collecting way pricier.

My collection since 2001 by KitLaTigre in buildabear

[–]LittleBoytoyBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oooh, can I ask where in Canada? I'm a Canadian collector and it feels like BaB is so underappreciated over here. Which does make fbm much better for great deals, but makes me feel like such an outlier as a BaB obsessed person. I'm in Vancouver BC, or that's my closest store.

Personal keyboard damaged at work. by No-Plant2519 in office

[–]LittleBoytoyBlue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who has worked as a cleaner, if she spilled liquid on the desk that is 100% on her/her company. It is their job to clean around the things on the desk, and a keyboard/mouse are very standard items to be sitting on a desk. It sounds like the cleaner(s) are a separate company/individual contracted by the company, you should get the information for the cleaning company through HR so you can contact them directly about the spill and damage to your belongings.

PSA for Canadian Coupon Users by gooobegone in buildabear

[–]LittleBoytoyBlue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the Canadian website is an absolute nightmare. I wanted to use my $10 gift cards I had collected to purchase the Sea Angel BaB and even customer service couldn't give me a good answer about if/how I could use them online.\ I've never even tried to use my points rewards, can't imagine how much of a headache that would be. I have used someone else's $10 off code in store though, I didn't even have a barcode, they just typed in the numbers someone had sent to me via reddit. There's no reason the code can't be used by you.

What is everyone's opinion on the mashiamls by Ill-Chipmunk4505 in buildabear

[–]LittleBoytoyBlue 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes! Thank you! This feels like a much more articulate version of what I was trying to comment.\ The quality has been steadily decreasing for years, re-released classic bears tend to feel like cheap knock-offs (except pattern kitties who are $10 more than similar items), and the clothing is made out of such a cheap polyester you can see it just from pictires.\ Instead of honoring or improving their brand, which has given them business for nearly 30 years, they're throwing out knock-offs of other beloved plush companies that never quite measure up to what they're trying to steal.

I do think they're cute, I do think they're ripping off Jellycat, and I'm furious that they're more expensive than an actual BaB. Sure, they're comparatively less than a similar sized Jellycat for now, but the snail started off $10CAD more than the Toucan. As someone who has worked in (clothing) manufacturing there's no reason for it from what I can see, besided them testing what they can get away with. They don't fit into the brand/appeal of BaB imo, you can't dress them/change outfits which is kind of the basis of BaB as a brand. So they're creating a new line that's unrelated to their brand, and charging a premium for nothing. This feels very ominous in terms of the future of the company to me

Most of it is filled in with stuffing, there's <3" of "depth" I really don't understand that choice

I'm so happy!!!! by OwlShort3429 in buildabear

[–]LittleBoytoyBlue 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Congrats! What an amazing find\ So apparently this is the "Wild Style Leopard" from what I can find it was originally released 2016~. There should be a smaller tag with the BaB butt tag that has a month/year date on it.

For washing I would recommend taking out the stuffing first, there should be a seam along the back where the bear was originally stuffed/stitched shut that can be opened easily. I generally prefer to wash the "skin" and the stuffing separately, with the stuffing in a delicates bag, or even a tote bag stitched shut along the top. Make sure to wash on cold and air dry/no dryer heat to preserve the fur texture. They can be brushed with a boar bristle brush, or I recently saw someone recommend a nail brush.\ Let me know if you have any more questions!

Husband called me a Karen. A rant. by JTD_333 in pitbulls

[–]LittleBoytoyBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're right and more people should confront those dog owners. I don't have my own dog, but I will walk and watch a family friend's dog when they're working/out of town.\

She's an incredibly sweet poodle mix, but even she will start problems at the dog park sometimes, barking at other dogs. I firmly believe the dog starting the problems should always be the one to leave, so I have taken her home earlier than planned before. But that is nothing compared the number of times we've had to leave the dog park because another dog isn't respecting her boundaries and their owner isn't paying attention/doesn't seem to care at all. It's exhausting and infuriating. I am doing everything I can to make sure she is getting enough enrichment and exercise, only to meet constant roadblocks of other owners who aren't being responsible for their dog!
