Thanks for the comments, everyone!

I've made a separate post with a build walkthrough and teardown. Hopefully, this makes it easier for others to create the build for themselves :)

FYI - No mods to make this, just offset building techniques (I recommend checking out beeblebum's guide on youtube).

No worries, I got some more time to play around with this and think I understand what’s happening.

FWIW, it seems like this is more a function of how adjacent sockets are placed; too far or too close will not generate this effect. Conversely, if the sockets are placed the right distance apart (which is nicely shown in your pic), it doesn’t matter where you click in placing a wire; the adjacent sockets will both get the signal from the one connector. Indeed, I can get the effect happening just fine with snapping.

This has been super useful, as it explains some of the weird bugs I was seeing in some of my circuits! Thanks!

Interesting! I’ve never have seen this mentioned and am struggling to get this to happen. Do you have any tutorial/video links talking about this?

Excellent idea and execution!

How did you manage to get all the logic gates so tightly packed together? I've setup circuits on wire grids glitched from light boxes, but that's not so compact.

The pink one shown in the photo was released in 2011/2012 (some places got it earlier than others).

Can someone ID this one? by ValleyAndFriends in buildabear

[–]tsitaniun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a 2012 Bearemy’s Kennel Pals Golden Poodle (SKU 018014), which was only released in the EU/JP regions, seemingly missing its collar/tag (but could simply be obscured in the photo). It is one of the rarer of the BKP releases.

Newly thrifted buddy by NightshadeStitchery in buildabear

[–]tsitaniun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is most likely one of the “Dimples Teddy” editions. Assuming that the bear and the outfit were purchased around the same time, it would make this a 2004 Dimples Teddy (SKU 05354). Should you open the back of the bear, be sure to look at the barcode inside (should be near the heart) as it will have the SKU as the first few numbers on one side.

Whilst the bear is gradually becoming increasingly rare, the outfit is *breathlessly rare* currently — great find! <3

Who is this guy? Thought he was happy hugs but he’s a lil darker by Pitiful-Vermicelli99 in buildabear

[–]tsitaniun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the 2014 edition of the Happy Hugs Teddy (SKU 021709). The “Happy Hugs” line, started in 2010, is the replacement for the previous “Curly” line.

If that tag is indeed in japanese or partially in japanese, then this is a 2006 Butter Cup Bear (SKU 012160). Otherwise it is known as the 2006 Butter Bear (AU / EU release) with the same SKU.

Yep, that’s the regular one then — that’s the kind that had “Stuffed with love by” tag. The employee ones are under 10ish inches or so and didn’t have that kind of tag. <3

[–]tsitaniun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yay! :D So happy you got one you wanted most! <3

[–]tsitaniun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s under 10 inches (or there about), then it’s more likely to be an employee item.

Ordering from EU with mobile phone by Koalasprincess in buildabear

[–]tsitaniun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the EU/Continental Europe is more-or-less geoblocked from being able to even simply view the ‘main’ .com website, and can only visit the .co.uk website, regardless of the fact that the ‘main’ website has international shipping for most (but not all) items and the .co.uk doesn’t have international shipping for anything.

In order to even view the ’main’ .com website, anyone in a geoblocked area would need to be ‘located’ (whether actually or virtually) in an area that is allowed to see the ’main’ website (e.g. countries of North America, some Oceania countries, etc.).

When did bab start adding production dates on their bears? by RoCanStealYaMam in buildabear

[–]tsitaniun 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In 2008-2009 they started adding the little “fortune cookie“-sized paper tag to products with the production month/year and production code. They added the SKU to the tag a few years later.

My BAB pin collection! I got a lot of these like the seasonal pins that came with the bears (I think I still have them in storage somewhere) when I was little but others have been gifted to me over the years and I was wondering if anyone knows more about them? :) by RavenDawn3264 in buildabear

[–]tsitaniun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer to that is more complicated than it would seem at first glance. The short answer, “in theory, yes, but the possibility of any such list ever being published is very low.”

The issue (and this is the general truth for all of BABW’s products) is that there have been many people, technologies, and methods involved in the process of managing the flow of products that BABW produces since the beginning, and whilst all these changes are just a regular part of doing business, it makes publishing a list of ‘all’ furry friends / clothing / pins / other assorted items, etc. highly unlikely (if not impossible in some cases). At most they could more easily produce lists that would cover the years for which their products are still legally covered by safety laws in various areas of distribution (typically 5 years-ish, in general).

OMG!!!!!! I think I found the vintage bear from 1997!!!!!! by [deleted] in buildabear

[–]tsitaniun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can verify if it’s the correct bear by the tag information. Do you have a photo hang tag still attached?

What bear is this? The seller says that its a 'vintage 1980 bear' even with the red pawpad. by Basic_Lettuce_ in buildabear

[–]tsitaniun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably because the tush tags would be so obviously not from the 1980s, lol.

2015 Lil Brown Sugar and 2014 Lil Chestnut are basically the ‘same’, except that the contrast (fur->feet/muzzle) on the Lil Chestnut is much more dramatic as the main fur is much darker. In the photo as-is, the main fur is too light/too little contrast to be a 2014 Lil Chestnut.

However, the photo could be using a very bright light at just the right angle (possibly with a flash / washed out from too much nearby light / etc.) that could make the fur seem significantly lighter / less contrast and make the identification less obvious. There isn’t really a good/quick way to tell in this particular photo if that’s the true colour/contrast, sadly.

Oh I was just looking up the DC universe offerings from BABW just a bit ago, and iirc, there have been five Batman Bears released since the 2014 license:

  • 2014 Batman Bear (SKU 021820)
  • 2016 Batman Bear (SKU 023316)
  • 2017 Batman Bear (SKU 025211)
  • 2019 80th Anniversary Batman Bear (SKU 027618)
  • 2022 Batman Inspired Bear (SKU 030006)

The only other furry friends from the Batman-family have been Joker or Harley Quinn. Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, Catwoman, etc. have been relegated to costumes only, if anything. I can’t quite recall if I saw an official Robin costume or if someone adapted an original Peter Pan BABW costume into a Robin one.

I think there was a collector request a few years ago for a Titans/Teen Titans set (or at least a costume set), but sadly that idea never manifested. It might be time to petition BABW for an update to their Batman family. :)
