Animal Crossing x build a bear!

[JellyBeans]

don't think I've seen a thread 'officially' discussing this (forgive me if there is/this is in the wrong place) but apparently the animal crossing x build a bear collection is dropping tomorrow? thoughts? expectations?

updates
nook and isabelle images released, the only two plushes available for now (a third, undisclosed one to come this summer I believe)

Spoiler

9/6 update to add KK Slider to the collection!

Great. When most people are at work.

 

[Fruitcup]

I cant wait to see what they come up with! When i first saw it i thought it was some kind of prank lol

 

[meggiewes]

Great. When most people are at work.

If it is anything like the Harry Potter bears, they will be in stock at a later date too. So people won't miss out getting them. It'll just be a bit later.

Hopefully.

Do we know which characters will be available?

i don't think so? they haven't posted anything on the website which seems like an odd way to go about it but i guess it builds hype

I was afraid the answer was going to be no.

I hope it's worth to look forward for it, like them announcing actual villager plushies and not just yet again Isabelle and/or Tom Nook.

 

[Nefarious]

Wish they would just announce how the designs will look like. Would hate if they go out of stock that same day before I come to a decision whether or not I want them.

 

[Roxxy]

Hopefully they will be a regular stock item for a while? Bit random but I want Kody which is never going to happen as he was always my son’s favourite and it’s his birthday soon

I don't understand why people who join the pre-waiting room, or whatever they call it, are going to be assigned their place random and anyone joining after gets in line. If you join the line first, then you should be first. Also, I wish they would show us what was going to be available, I may not even end up wanting anything and it may just end up being a waste of my time. And why central time? That seems so random to me.

On the other hand, they seem to have their act together better than Target.

Edit: apparently it does say what time the waiting room opens, but I couldn't read that lime text on my phone.

 

[.: Meri :.]

I'm really excited for this; I set aside a little bit of my stimulus check specifically to get one of these. c: I'm definitely going to try and get an early spot in the waiting room when it opens tomorrow.
Like a lot of people though, I really wished they'd announced who would be included in the collection? I'd prefer to decide what plush I want now than have to decide in a small panic tomorrow. ;; Also... the email mentions that for those in the waiting room, you'll have a "limited amount of time" to complete your purchase, and I... don't know what that means exactly ahaha. Like, am I going to have a few minutes to browse and think on this, or is this gonna be a Build-A-Bear speedrun?

:0 i got an email from buildabear a few hours ago, lol i hope i can get one but i wish they would say what characters they're gonna have

 

[Emmsey]

Crazy they haven’t confirmed any of the characters we can expect I’m not interested in NPCS so wouldn’t bother if it was just them. I did the waiting room thing for Harry Potter ones first day and stock was ok has been in other hp drops.

The email does mention they should be in stores in summer also.

Honestly, they probably want you panic buying, so you end up buying more. For the ColourPop launch, I just ended up buying the complete collection because I didn't want to waste time adding individual things to my carts. I'm guessing you'll have like 15 minutes to make your purchase once you add something to your cart, like Ticketmaster does. I can't imagine them being as generous with QVC with their whole hour.

 

[Emmsey]

Yeah the Harry Potter set you had to buy the whole set you couldn’t for example just buy the clothes on the release you could only buy the entire set. I guess again depends on the characters!

 

[justina]

I have to work during the hour they are going to be launched so I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to get one hopefully they will be a regular item and in the stores eventually. I would love to actually build one in store and have the experience.

 

[Serabee]

Oh, good! I don't want to order one online, I wanna make on in store, so the only thing I'm excited about tomorrow is seeing which characters it will be!

I'm apparently one of the few who wants NPC and in particular would love Isabelle, so I think I've got a good chance of being excited, lol

 

[Nefarious]

I saw a comment on Twitter somewhere mentioned that they will likely be available in stores in the Summer? So I suppose there is another opportunity to get them besides tomorrow. Hopefully that is the case.

world war b(ear) boutta unfold tomorrow morning.... i have no idea if i will even be able to afford whatever theyre offering but i guess i will find out if i get in a waiting room tomorrow LOL
