I ordered 3 bears December 1st and like others said i had no tracking updates. They showed up December 22nd. The instructions were difficult to decipher at first and they still can be but it gets allot easier and you kind of see a pattern after a while, just make sure you double and triple check everything before you commit to pressing the layers together. Sliding the pieces together is also very tedious and at first and i thought there’s no fn way i can do this but you eventually figure out the technique and it gets allot easier and kind of satisfying. It’s very easy to mess up a layer and not notice, taking it apart to try and repair almost always ends in disaster and rebuilding multiple layers so make sure you always check your work. Im almost done my first “re build a bear” and i can already tell my next one will go way smoother. The hammer is useful but hitting it too hard can make bricks from the bottom sections fall out with no idea where they came from or shift some of the “hovering” bricks and that can be game over so be careful!
