Title: Build a Bear ~ Build a Pony
Post by: phoenixsoul85 on March 10, 2013, 12:43:07 PM
So I went to Build a Bear Workshop last  night to cash in some gift certificates and was super excited to get the bag insert at check out.  I know we all have buzzed about Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash coming but now we have an actual date.  April 1st!!!  And that is no April Fools joke!!!  I am sorry if this is a repeat post but I didn't see it anywhere.  Please join me in my excitement!!!

Yay!  I'm so glad they are actual ponies and not bears.   Not that I have anything against bears, but it's just nice to see plushie ponies.

Oh yeah!  A Spike would be cute!   I'll probably get a Rainbow Dash though and my daughter likes Pinkie.  I really, Really want a Fluttershy too though!  :D

Does anyone know how much they will be charging?  I was hoping not more than $25.

I'm definitely skipping them. I don't have tons of room for plushies and I'm kind of happy to not have to spend the money. I own one Build-A-Bear (Hello Kitty) so I know how expensive they are. Ok, I know they're not as bad as custom plushies, but they're still expensive to me. I just have trouble justifying spending more than $15 on a stuffed animal. Of course, if they make a Fluttershy I probably won't be able to pass her up.

For those of you of you wondering, the part that was really difficult to read says "You can make a PAWSOME pony braid."  The rest of the previous translation of my super blurry photo was correct.  I am so sorry!!!  I was just so excited to post it!!!  Also on the top right it gives the dates April 1-7 for pony week i case anyone wanted to know.

So glad everyone is liking my post!!!

LOL Pawsome is what really threw me off I think. I had fun trying to read it honestly :)

I'm excited, I haven't been to Build-a-Bear in so long but I love it!

These look pretty cute.  I'd be very tempted to get a rainbow dash.  If they happen to come out with fluttershy or rarity I don't think I'll be able to resist!

Their faces and eyes look adorable and generally of good quality! I have nooo clue what Build a Bear is or if we can get them here, but I dislike plushies with nylon/similar material hair anyways, so I guess I can easily resist.

Build a Bear is a store where you go in, take the empty plush "skin" of a stuffed animal....stuff it yourself (as soft or stiff as you'd like), put a tiny plush heart inside to make it yours , and then pick out whatever clothes/accessories that you'd like to put on them. It's a very interesting place! I think it started out as bears, but now they've got all types of plushies, dogs,cats,bunnies, etc! :3c

There are definitely Build a Bears in the U.K.  http://www.buildabear.co.uk/ (http://www.buildabear.co.uk/)

I am very curious about the clothing...
Title: Re: Build a Bear ~ Build a Pony
Post by: Sarah Jo on March 12, 2013, 09:05:50 AM
These are so very cute, but probably a little too expensive for my blood. Like someone else said, it's hard for me to blow $15+ on a plushie. Maybe once it gets going people will post prices and then I can decide.. The nearest Build-A-Bear is an hour away so it'd be a special trip if I do go.

Years ago I signed up at their website and now I'm always getting coupons for Build a Bear stuff in my email.

Just signed up ! Maybe they'll give out a coupon soon. :happy:
Title: Re: Build a Bear ~ Build a Pony
Post by: Icicle on March 12, 2013, 09:07:43 AM
It's going to be at least 18 bucks, I'd image for the low end. Realistically they'll be $23 a piece as that seems to be the norm for licensed products.

I really will have to use getting my ID card next month as an in to get to the mall for a Pinkie, since the DMV is like right down the road from the mall.

Oh, yeah ? That's not as bad as I was picturing.. I'll probably cave. Especially if the special pony clothes are as cute as I imagine. :)

Edit - Mentioned hoping for newsletter coupon and was just told it'll be my Easter present ! Family = awesome

Post by: Galactica on March 12, 2013, 09:12:45 AM
I think they are cute but am going to try and avoid them- the LAST thing I need to start collecting is an army of huge plush (the ones I already have take up enough space)   

that said-  I am afraid at least one will manage to sneak in...

Ohh, thanks for the info! I thought they were do-it-yourself kits. Like sewing pattern and such.
I just saw that there seem to be quite a bunch of those stores in Germany! But the prices are outrageous. Since we'll be getting the Nici plushies here, I'd rather buy one of those than a BaB one :)

The Nici ones look super cute- I probably won't be able to get any, as I imagine the shipping will make them incredibly pricey.  However, I do plan on getting any made by this company...  http://4de.com/ponies/twilight-sparkle-105-plush (http://4de.com/ponies/twilight-sparkle-105-plush)

That's very interesting, as I know my nearest Build a Bear had to put the Smurfs on clearance just to sell them all off ;)

Anyhow, I hope these come to the UK soon (apologies if a date has been mentioned somewhere in this thread, I missed it).

I wonder if they'll come with special boxes? Did the smurfs have special boxes? I realized that I have to buy a gift for my little niece for Christmas... Pinkie!! Do you think they will have an age recommendation on them?

I'm not a a big Pinkie Pie or RDash fan either, you know what would rock? If it was truly a 'Build-a-Pony', like making customized ponies. Not sure how they'd do it though. Like you could pick a color, type of pony (Earth, uni, peg, ali) and hair color/eye color. Now THAT I would be excited about.

Pony sounds ! I was wondering if they'd do that.. I was already thinking of having cupcake scent put into my Pinkie if my store has it in stock.

Hold the phone... you get to put *smells* into/onto ponies in the US?! ohmigod that's amazing! I have never seen that in BaB here (though I haven't been in in about a year.... but still)

A cupcake Pinkie is definitely an amazing idea!!!

Just trowing this out there,...  you can order animals UNSTUFFED online.  Just put it in the special notes part of your order.  I do it all the time.  That way you can go have fun AND get Pinkie stuffed the way you want.

my husband went in yesterday to pay out deposit for our party/gathering and the accessories they told him will be with ponies will be roller skates and a cape and pony sounds will be available too :)
and they are pretty sure there are brushes too (but weren't 100% sure)

I want a baseball cap & a whistle for Rainbow Dash, maybe a nice t-shirt & sneakers, she likes her sport so why not?! :lol:

Oh, I figure that's an option. I'd just feel AWFUL having a Pinkie skin sitting in my house until I could get out to the mall to get it stuffed (since I am reliant on other's for rides EVERYWHERE)

I went to my mall's Build A Bear and they had a Rainbow Dash and a Pinkie Pie out for display (with a little tag on them saying they'll come out April 1st, and them being $24). I was surprised to see them there, and the lady said they already got some in to sell on the first.
 They look pretty good in person, and I was too shy to ask if I could take a picture of them. I did get to hold Pinkie though...and I think I will end up getting her. xD

The $6 sound that you can put inside them (at least the one I heard) was the FiM theme song. :D

I'm so glad you got to see them in person. They told me when I went that they'd have them in the store to demo soon but I couldn't make it back yet.  I hope they have catch phrase sounds too and not just generic magic or pony sounds in addition to the FiM theme song.  When you went, was either pony dressed up in special clothes or just the normal BaB clothes or nothing?

No clothes were on either pony. I guess they had them "naked" so people could see what they looked like normally, which makes sense. I did like the hair they used for the ponies. I'm not a doll hair expert so I don't know what kind of hair it is, but it wasn't "super soft" or "all that hard". I'd say it had a bit of shine to it.

I hope they have actual speaking sounds as well, or at least something along the lines of " Hi, I'm ______! Let's be Friends forever!" . But i would find it cute if they did get actual pony "neigh!!" sounds. :3

The competition is on!

Anyone else besides me plan on trying to order these online first? There's no way I'm going down to Build a Bear on April 1st to get a pony.

I've ordered online from BAB before and never had any problems. You can even order your pony unstuffed if you just HAVE to go down to BAB and fluff it...you know, if your local BAB runs out (mine always runs out of EVERYTHING).

I talked to my brony friend today about the BAB ponies. He's super excited about them. I wasn't sure if he'd even be interested in going to BABW with me. Not only does he want to go, he want to go on the 1st! We haven't worked out all the details yet, but I told him that if we go on the 1st we'll have to wait until I get off from work. I think he's more curious about the fact that the stores are encouraging people to wear their pony gear. His thinking is that if they're giving out anything, they'll run out fast.

I hope BABW sends me a coupon before the 1st. All the ones I have right now expire on the 31st.

I am excited for the ponies! I wonder how many people would be there at around noon for them. A lot of kids and pony fans in my area, and the build a bear is right next to a kids area/playground. xD

AHHH! Now I want the outfits  * 3*  I'll have to stick with just the plushies (maybe the brush) to stay in my budget for April 1st. Maybe if they have them around long enough, I can get the outfits some other month ^.^ they really are cute! Thanks for sharing them with us :heart: i was wondering about outfits
Title: Re: Build a Bear ~ Build a Pony
Post by: sailorstitch on March 26, 2013, 07:41:10 AM
I'd be careful with that! Going by what happened when BAB released EB from Hop, the outfit sells out faster than the plush. By the time I ordered my EB, the shirt was already sold out. I tried looking for the shirt on Ebay, but a complete one was going for over $60! I had to wait until BAB restocked when Hop was released on DVD.

Since we don't know if BAB is going to restock on the MLPs, if you have to split them up get one in April and one in May.

The promo shot cape is different from the cape on the real life pictures - do we know which one is correct? I am guessing the gala outfit and perhaps the real life Pinkie is wearing another BAB accessory item?
Title: Re: Build a Bear ~ Build a Pony
Post by: phoenixsoul85 on March 26, 2013, 02:54:51 PM
Ok, so I just called my BAB because I totally missed the part about preordering from the picture.  Only 3 stores company wide are doing preorders.  The rest are first come first serve.  Ponies are expected to be restocked throughout the month of April.  I had not read about the confusion regarding the dress until after I hung up but I have never seen the dress pinkie is wearing in the REAL LIFE picture at BAB before but it does look like a dress for normal animals and the cape is on top.  It does kind of look like something Pinkie would wear though.  That leads me to believe that there may be...CHOICES.  How ever will we all decide?!?!?  I hope this helps everyone and continues to excite people.  I recommend calling your BAB and making sure your store isn't a preordering store.  I would hate for someone not to be able to get their hands on a pony.

So the sparkly outfit under the cape that Pinkie is wearing is just other BAB wear and not specifically for ponies?

I just searched BABW's web site and I couldn't find anything like it. They used to have a section in the clothing that was clothes for the dogs that are on all fours. I figured that it would be in there. But that whole section is gone..... Weather or not it's made for the ponies, it looks like it's a new item.

I'm planning on making both Pinkie and Dashie.

I thought about wearing either a PP or RD shirt..... But I don't have a PP shirt and both my RD shirts are G3..... In G4 shirts I have Fluttershy (2 different ones), Luna, Big Mac, Celestia/Luna/Twilight Sparkle and Ditzy. Or I have a G1 Cotton Candy shirt.... She's kinda like the G1 version of Pinkie. And then there's my G1 Applejack shirt.... I only got about 18 or so pony shirts to choose from. :P

I can't wait until Rarity comes out! Pinkie might tempt me too. But I don't live by any Build a Bear stores anymore so hopefully I can buy one off their site.

Post by: HawaiianRain on March 31, 2013, 10:56:01 PM
If you are up now, the ponies have landed on the site. I do have a code for you but it may only work for a few hours more. Get $10.00 off of $30.00 purchase. So pretty much you can get a shirt and a sentable for free. You will also get the egg dye set for free. The code is: 98244

I'm surprised that the ponies are already up on the site. I wouldn't expect the online ponies to be "live" until sometime in the morning (like 8am or something, lol).
I think it's cute they have the "normal" RD/PP ponies and the PP/RD in various outfit sets. I really like the Flying Colors Rainbow Dash one. :heart:

I just finished ordering the ponies off the Build a Bear website. I ordered one plush Rainbow Dash and one Pinkie Pie, no outfits or accessories. TBH, I didn't care for the ones they had up for the ponies. I also had a $10 coupon I've been saving up for this event.

Yay for plush ponies. I'm hoping I can stuff them into some of my other, much cuter Build a Bear outfits I currently have for my other Build a Bear plushies.

And uh...was anyone else camping the website out around midnight to see if they released early? Because I'll be darned if I'm going to stand in line for them tomorrow, especially with spring break out for our local schools. *shudders*

It's so funny, me and my friend were discussing our plans, and I said, "well, if you want me to buy one of them for you for your birthday next month, we can do that!" and they said "... but then I'll just buy the other one anyway. I want them BOTH!" And I had to reply with, "Well, ME TOO!" We're gonna look pretty silly with two armloads of ponies, but I don't care! :lmao:

In Australia, we got them last Thursday. First time I have EVER seen us recieve something before the US.

Anyone thinking about getting one, I suggest to! So worth it! They are adorable, soft, and so snuggly! I got a dash for myself the day they were released, and picked up another 6 for other people out of the state that don't have a build a bear :( glad I could help some of my special pony peeps get one however!

Okay, so turned out the shopping centre opened at 10am, but they didn't open until 10.30.
I was the only person waiting :blush:

However, here she is, in all her glory - Rainbow Dash!

I did the lil routine with the heart and everything ^_^
I couldn't resist bunny ears, they're so cute. But I decided against the pony wear for now. I do want it, but I didn't want to spend another £10 at the moment.
I got the official brush as well.
The only official sound they had was the theme tune for FIM. Other than that it was the BaB generic ones. Which was a bit of a shame.
But I do love her, it was a tough choice between Pinkie and her, I think Pinkie looked more realistic, if you know what I mean, but I have a Funrise Pinkie so I wanted something different. And the more I look at her the more I smile!

I'd love to see photos of anyones with some clothes if anyone gets one later ^.^

Please wish that my work day goes by quickly!!!

It's 8:04am and I'm on the bus, on my way across the city to get to BAB. I should get there just before it opens at 9:30am.

I checked out the website last night, but the shipping to Canada is just too expensive, even with that $10 coupon code. Hopefully the Canadian prices aren't that much higher than the States. *Crosses fingers*

Still unsure on weather or not to get the Dashie... I have a build a bear near me but I am going to wait on more pictures.

That horrible mouth sew line....But she does look so darned cute in some ways... those wings!
Title: Re: Build a Bear ~ Build a Pony
Post by: phoenixsoul85 on April 01, 2013, 08:50:49 AM
Ok, so I just got back from BAB.  I was the first person at Easton of Columbus to get the girls.  Yay!

Pony-$24
Dress-$12.50   (if you bought it, make sure the receipt is correct because the number on the scan was wrong and came up $13.50.  They will reimburse you if you call them)
Brush-$3

I didn't get the sound but I would imagine somewhere around $6
There is also a scent option which costs $3 (cupcake scent would be awesome for Pinkie Pie) and the scents last at least a year according to my store friend.


Also, my store confirmed 2 more ponies around August as long as these girls do well.  So even if you don't LOVE these characters, help make it successful so we can get more ponies.  Tabby (my store friend) said that someone from head quarters is coming in today and she is going to try to grill her for info about the next ponies.


People in this thread who have to work, my store only had maybe a dozen people at it prior to opening.  The most I saw anyone buy was one of each pony.  My partner asked if they expected to sell out in one day and the girl laughed and said "No, we've got so many of these in the back it's AWESOME!!!"  I would still recommend calling your store if you can to confirm that they have everything you want (including the dresses).  Online ordering is really cool too and you can save with the coupon code.  If you plan on doing it all out online, do 2 separate orders and save $20 all together since a pony and dress is $36.50 before taxes.


I hope this helps and excites everyone.  I will try to get pictures up later today.  I can't wait to see how you've done your ponies too, so post pictures!!!

I just made an order for a Rainbow Dash online! I sadly had no other option since I'm living  in Sweden (They took away all our BaBW's some years ago, sadly.), but I am uber happy I still could get one, even if the shipping price was pretty bad. :heart:
I am so hoping for a Rarity, if they make more.

I got mine this morning! I was 2nd in line, after 2 little girls who'd traveled all the way from Cape Breton Island just for this (they were dancing in front of the store until it opened! Too cute ^.^ ). It was a great first BAB experience, though they really should have had more than one employee on staff D: the lady who was there (who was awesome) was switching between doing the stuffing process and running the cash @_o poor woman, they should have anticipated the demand because the line-up behind me piled up pretty quick! Here's a photo of mine (and the brush) I love them both, but RD is my fave :heart:

Got my Pinkie Pie! :3 I also got RD's dress for her and the MLP sound. Also had a nice little conversation with the employees about the ponies. One of them mentioned that they had about 24 boxes of the ponies in the back,  but not nearly enough outfits for all of them. She also mentioned that they got a lot of calls about the ponies, and her daughter REALLY wants one. The male employee that stuffed PP told me that he and the other employees had a mini "argument" on Sunday about which one was cuter out of the ponies. Said that they felt RD has the best hair, but PP was cuter. xD
I am a bit sad that they ran out of the Easter Bunny headbands. I really wanted one for my Pinkie Pie. ^^;

I'll post pics when I get back to my apartment...or whenever the pics get to my email inbox. xD

They didn't come that way (the manes are tied up with elastics) I just moved their manes around a little bit after undoing the bands. It only took a minute or two to get them looking that way :D I absolutely love Dashie to bits <333

Im not gonna decorate them, I sadly couldnt afford all the extra accessories T-T Id love to dress them up though if I could! I am sad its only for a week!! This sounds crazy, but I was the second person there and there was actually a small line before they opened for the MLPs! =O These are a tad bigger than I expected!

I had never been in a BAB before, but my husband had made one for his mom years ago... so thankfully he kind of remembered what to do.  I felt a little silly doing it, Sandi, but it wasn't bad cause in the end - I got Rainbow Dash :)

Now, walking through the mall didn't take as long as it usually would, because I did feel a little odd wakling around with a RD head poking out of the BAB "box"... but I did make my husband hold her while I tried on some capris ;)

Nice pics :D I couldn't afford the clothes, either. They're more than the plush!  After taxes for Pinkie and RD @ $27/ea and the brush @ $4 it came to $66.70. I worked out the cost of outfits, and for both gowns and full sets of shoes for both Pinkie and RD it would be $73.60 after taxes :O That would have been a total of $140.30 for pony plushies in clothes!!  o______o I'd love to have the outfits, though. They ARE cute <3

Shes so pretty~I even put the mlp theme, voice box in her. I also picked out a cupcake scented implant so she smells like she came fresh from Sugarcube Corner.

I do admit kissing her and jumping around was pretty embarrassing my sister even took pictures  >_<

It was all worth it though :biggrin:

My nearest BAB is about 3 hours away, so no in-store pony goodness for me </3 Was there any perk for going dressed in pony attire, or was that just for fun?

I wish the outfits were a little cheaper. I'd love to have them, but at the price they are, plus shipping for me...I'll have to settle for just the pony when I order online :P

We just got back from getting ours. My son picked Rainbow Dash but then wanted Pinkie Pie too so I bought both. He bought rollerskates for her and a tutu and has been pushing her around the house since we got home.

I was going to buy the knight costume but the lady said it wouldn't fit. If someone bought it, let me know if it works on the ponies :)

We got Pinkie Pie's legs stuffed more firm so she could wear skates and then we put the My little pony theme song into the right front hoove of Rainbow Dash to signify that we were buying her in memory of my sons first break- his right leg is in a cast because he broke his foot :(

It was our first time in Build a bear and it took about an hour and was so much fun!

There isn't a close Build-A-Bear to me, so I'd have to order online. I don't really want to spend a lot, so I think in the end, I'll probably just buy the cute MLP top & ruffle skirt for my Build-a-Bear Hello Kitty.

I must have some sort of MLP collector aura about me, I got asked 3 times by staff who they were for!  Probably because I only had my son with me :-)  The third time I just said they were for my nieces, and the girl who served me said that even before they opened up this morning there were, in her words 'fully grown adults wearing full pony costumes' waiting outside the store.  I was like 'oh yes well it has quite a following you know this new version of My Little Pony!'  She went on to say they'd looked it up online and there's loads of 'forums'.  She had a look of curiosity about her albeit slightly judgemental too, but I'm used to that by now and it doesn't surprise me anymore.  So if you're reading this B-a-B employee, hiiiii!!! x

I love my Pinkie & Ranbow Dash, really gtood quality I think so I'd say if you're on the fence about them, go for it! x

I got my ponies!  Took my friend who thought I was nuts but totally sweet as I picked over all the ponies looking for ones with nice noses and even eyes and non-wonky heads.  She even held our place in the stuffing line-up (and there was, indeed, a line-up) while I kept changing my mind.  The guy who stuffed the ponies asked us who they were for (and I was wearing my mlp t-shirt at the time...) and when my friend said they were for me he asked if they were for my kids, I said 'nope' and smiled.  He gets props for not being snotty about an adult  getting ponies.  This was my first time in BAB and it was excellent, the staff was super friendly and helpful, more than one person helped us in the store.  I'll post pics when I can unpack my ponies without my mom seeing them.  Sigh, in her eyes I will never be an adult who can decide what to do with her own money.  I got the capes, the sequin dress for Pinkie cause I think it suits her so well, the brush and even the bunny ears, though I had to ask for them as they were in the back. Such a great time, thanks Chinook BABW!

Some lovely pictures here!Yes, I cracked! I went to the mall & Build-a-Bear today! I had to wait in line for ages, the place was packed! I've been to the store before but never actually made a Build-a-bear (my other bears were from thrift stores!)It was fun! Lady who stuffed mien was real nice and frinedly in fact alot of people in the sotre were including other customers. Everybody was having a good time and happy, so nice to see it felt like a real event!I got  the MLP FIM soudn for my pony as the song remidn sme of the show. I got Rainbow Dash as to me she is a bit deiffrent an di alreayd have alot fo pink toys! I thought pinkei Piewa sbeautiful too though! I jsut got a brush for my pony as well, beign a pegasus I figured nto that much she coudl wear and I'd spent enough already! I have named my pony 'Dashy'!

I find it neat that today was the first time that a lot of people [or at least Arena members] went to Build A Bear (if that makes sense). :D I've been inside before, but never actually got to stuff my own plush beforehand. First one would have been the Fennec Fox one they had, but I [regrettably] waited too long to do it.

I ended up going back to Build a Bear (boyfriend wanted to get some lunch at the mall, lol), and thought it was too cute at the amount of ponies that were leaving the store and galloping around the mall. xD Seemed like Rainbow Dash was the popular pony that kids had in their hands.

Now a part of me is really debating heading to the mall on Saturday to see what happens at BaB (out of pony curiosity). ;3

Pretty much all of her toys have the backwards cutie mark. I think the wedding version is the only one that has it right.

You should be okay in getting a pony or two if you're going to get them tomorrow morning. :)
If you're considering getting the clothes for the pony, you may wanna go for it since from what I was told by my BAB, they aren't nearly enough clothes for each pony to wear (and I had heard that clothes are the first thing to sell out when it comes to special characters/items). The employee at mine said that even though that particular store have 24 boxes full of ponies (20 pony per box), they only have clothes for about 30% of them.

I just ordered the little 2 piece outfit (the MLP top with the pink & purple lace skirt) for my BaB Hello Kitty. I was seriously tempted to order Pinkie Pie while I was at it, but if I got her, I'd want her outfit as well and I really don't want to spend that much right now. Do they ever go on sale? I do know if they ever make a Fluttershy, I won't hesitate to order her.

Post by: Emberfly on April 01, 2013, 06:11:22 PM
There were lots of ponies when I went, though there were also lots of people getting ponies.  :)  I would think there's very little danger of the store running out of ponies and even clothes if you go tomorrow, though after a week or 2, I don't know.  I don't know how fast they run out of the special ones.  It's also probably a bit busier due to kids being off school for Easter Break.

Here's my girls, I like how they have different expressions and how even their heads are different.  I just looked at my bill and the girl didn't charge me for RD!!  I thought $104 was pretty good for 2 ponies, 3 outfits, the brush, bunny ears and a reusable tote bag.  I even asked her about whether or not she scanned RD, as I didn't see her scan her.  She scanned the ticket on the pony for the sound and ran down the list of items and I'm sure she said RD was on there.  It's a hassle to go down to fix their mistake, especially when I specifically asked if she's scanned the pony.

Anyway, here are my ill-gotten gains.

I'm still on the fence with these two! Would love to get one, but can't decide between PP or RD... they aren't my fave from the Mane 6. But all these photos are just too cute! :blush:

Is there a big chance they'll all be sold out in, say, 3-4 weeks? Anyone know how long special collections at BaB are usually out for?

I would say very likely they will be sold out. If you are lucky, Build a Bear may produce more, but I wouldn't count on it.

I've bought other plushes from the Build a Bear website, and some of them have sold out online within a day or two of being released! My local Build a Bear store has had some items (like the Hello Kitty plush) sell out completely the first day they have been released. I don't know what your local stores are like, but there's a good chance they will run out in a few weeks.

You could be real patient and wait for these to show up used on Ebay or thrift stores, but there are no telling what condition they will be in. (Ebay always has all kinds of used Build a Bear plushies for sale ranging from good to icky condition).

Also, google up discount codes for Build a Bear. They frequently offer them (like $10 off $30, free shipping, etc). Years ago I signed up for the Build a Bear newsletter and their Stuff Fur Stuff club and I get all kinds of discounts for their items in both my snail mail and email inbox. (In fact, for my order I used $20 worth of coupons from the Stuff Fur Stuff club. I always try to use coupons for any purchase I make from them, especially online because their shipping charges are killer).

Oh no! Well, I'm out of town right now and the earliest I can make it to a BAB is this weekend - hopefully there will still be some left. I do hope they realize how popular MLP is though, and continue to produce them. Thanks for the info! :)

It was dead at the Chinook Mall location in Calgary when it first opened.

I ended up getting there about 20 minutes before it opened, so I picked up some Starbucks as I walked through the mall. There was only one other person when I got there; he said he had been worried about it being busy too, so he had arrived about 1.5 hours early. We had a fun chat about MLP and other 80's & 90's shows & toys and the differences between the originals and reboots while we waited.

There was also a group of about 7 other people that joined us before the store opened, composed of two ladies in their early 20's and about 4 or 5 preteen girls. The younger girls looked at me funny when I did not hesitate to do the whole ritual to put the heart into Rainbow Dash.

I chose Rainbow Dash...as cute as Pinkie was, I just couldn't get her, in case Fluttershy or Rarity gets released in the future.

ETA: I forgot to add that there was a bit of a cash register mishap when I went to pay...the till wanted to charge me $150K, and as we all laughed about it, one of the guys working there said, "Surprise! You get a real pegasus!"  :biggrin:

Rarity?  My niece and I will have to share that one. :biggrin:    It was adorable seeing all the little kids and grown-ups carrying their ponies around the mall.

I love that suit of armor on Rainbow Dash!  I seriously thought about getting her.  It's the outfits that really set these ponies apart from the other plushies coming out.

I am so tempted by Pinkie Pie but my friend and I made a pact that we would buy one pony with one outfit. We also said that if they two we wanted were not released at the same time, we would accompany the other when they released Rarity (for me) and Fluttershy (for her)! I do hope they release the rest of the mane six or else both of us will be so disappointed!

My hubby is awesome, he gave me money to go buy Rainbow Dash as an early bday gift:D My bday isn't till the end of June but I had to ask hehe. It was so hard to leave pinkie there too. But I only had enough for one and her dress. They were flying out of there. The gal at the checkout told me I picked the right one because she's been super popular and if I want the other to not wait too long. I was cute watching the little kids making them and saw 5 more adults making theirs:) I went late in the evening so I think the staff was used to a bunch of collectors coming in by then. Hubby might take me back Wed to get pinkie but I really should just be patient and wait for ones I really want. Definetly pick through a few, some have really funky looking noses but I did find a near perfect one, I'm so happy!

I'm so tempted to order Pinkie online, but I'm afraid of their shipping costs. Plus, I'm kind of worried they'll send me one that looks funny (uneven eyes, weird shaped nose, etc) and I don't know if they let you choose how much stuffing you want in them when you order online. I checked and the closest one to me is Orland Park, which is like an hour drive from here. I've been to the one at Navy Pier, but I was already there for a trip we got to take with other military families back when my brother was deployed to Iraq. That's when I got my Hello Kitty.

Anyone know of a way to make the hair softer? My Pinkie's hair is really knotty and scraggly on the bottom and I'd like to make it softer and smoother.
 I would use water/conditioner but I'm not sure if I can do that with her?
Obviously I'd be using a small squirt bottle/cloth if I did, and not like, putting her head under a sink, lol.

I think someone mentioned in this topic or another one that for online orders, you can specify how much stuffing you want in them. You could also mention to leave it unstuffed so you can stuff it yourself. :)

I took my two daughters yesterday to our local Build a Bear for the My Little Pony launch. They both wore their MLP tshirt a and accessories and I'm glad we made the effort because our local store had really gone all out and had giant PP and RD to entertain the huge 45/60 min queue!!

We got both a PP and RD plushie and they are awesome! So big and such good quality! We had the MLP sound thing put in both of their hooves and the girls chose a tutu for RD and the sequinned dress for PP. I think I may have to go back and get the MLP tshirt and lilac skirt outfit though to go on another bear as it was sooo cute! And in all the excitement we forgot to get the brush so looks like another trip to BaB is in order!

I really hope they bring out some of the other characters as I would love an Applejack! Our local store was down to the last few PP yesterday afternoon and every person in the queue was buying at least one pony if not both!

They did confirm that in August they will be doing it again, though they did not confirm which ponies.  So excited!

I hope they do Fluttershy in the next round.

Well, I went ahead and gave into temptation and ordered Pinkie Pie. I told myself I wasn't going to do it, that I didn't need to spend the money, but seeing all these pictures and thinking that they might run out and I'd regret it later so I went ahead and ordered her. I wish I had known about the scents before I ordered, though. A cupcake scented Pinkie would have been awesome. Oh well. It was way more than I wanted to spend, but I guess I can think of it as an early birthday present to myself since my birthday is later this month anyway. I got her outfit too. I couldn't resist, it was just too cute.

I just realized when I ordered online, they didn't ask anywhere how much stuffing I wanted in mine. And there wasn't a special instructions box anywhere that I could see. If they don't put enough in, can they be opened up easily to add more stuffing? Or would I have to rip out a seam to add more?

I hope some people who know more will help you.  I do know that the person who stuffed my ponies at the store said they had to add more stuffing to ensure that they stand.  I weighed Pinkie Pie at 1.2 lbs, she's a heavy, firm pony.

Oh I know I said I would wait out for a Rarity...but that Pinkie is seriously adorable!

Congrats everyone for getting your ponies :)

You will have to take out a seam. If you take it into a Buildabear, they should do it for you for free though. The Buildabear animals have special stitching on their backs so that you can just pull it closed and tie it off. It will have to be cut to get it back open.

I took my two daughters yesterday to our local Build a Bear for the My Little Pony launch. They both wore their MLP tshirt a and accessories and I'm glad we made the effort because our local store had really gone all out and had giant PP and RD to entertain the huge 45/60 min queue!!

We got both a PP and RD plushie and they are awesome! So big and such good quality! We had the MLP sound thing put in both of their hooves and the girls chose a tutu for RD and the sequinned dress for PP. I think I may have to go back and get the MLP tshirt and lilac skirt outfit though to go on another bear as it was sooo cute! And in all the excitement we forgot to get the brush so looks like another trip to BaB is in order!

I really hope they bring out some of the other characters as I would love an Applejack! Our local store was down to the last few PP yesterday afternoon and every person in the queue was buying at least one pony if not both!

Soooo awesome!!! /)^3^(\ I wish the malls around here would let me do that!

That wouldn't really be an option for me since the closest one is an hour away. That's why I had to order online. I guess I could have my mom stitch it back up for me. She's pretty good at sewing so I'm sure she could handle it.

I took a bunch of pictures this evening of my ponies in different outfits. I still need to edit and upload most of them, but here's a couple for now.

Since I had to wait until after work, I didn't get to BABW until about 5 pm. It was me, my mom, my guy friend and his mom. I was the only one that bought anything, but they had fun watching me build and dress my ponies. I got Pinkie and Dashie (no sounds or scents), both the capes, the MLP brush, the rainbow tutu, the pink sparkley dog dress, the fuchsia glam heels, the red gingham flower bows and the black sunglasses.

The red gingham flower bows will be for Applejack WHEN she comes out. Sooner or later she WILL come out. I know it... I just know it!  :cool:

When I went to pick out my ponies, I was worried for a second that they were out of Pinkie Pie because there was no display model on the wall. But the PP bin was full. The RD bin on the other hand only had two left in it and one had an orange stain on her chin.  :( The woman that stuffed my ponies said that she had seen more people buying RD than PP. While I was in the store I only saw one other person with a pony. It was a little girl with a Pinkie. I saw more people getting the Autism bear. At least for the store I was in, he seemed to be selling better than the ponies.

After BABW we went next door to Hot Topic where I got the RD necklace, the Fluttershy two necklace set and #3 & #4 of the comics.

I didn't hear anything about who was next to come out. But if Twilight is one, the I would think that the other would be Fluttershy or Applejack. I can't see them releasing both the unicorns at the same time. They're going to want to mix them up. I'm hoping for Applejack.  ^.^

I'll post some more pictures tomorrow.

I am a little confused... are the pony plushes only available for a week, or is it just that the theme is only for a week?   I have never been to BAB, and I want to go and get these, but I don't know if I will be able to within the week. :/

I believe they're available all month, but it's also a "While Supplies Last" sort of thing.  So if they were to completely sell out by next Friday of all the pony plushies, they're basically sold out for good (or until they re-release them).

picked up my two today! I wasn't going to get any accessories, but my boyfriend bought my pinkie pie the pink glitter converse style shoes!  I really want to dig out my sewing machine and make her a Chancellor Puddin'head costume.  I should have bought the cape for Rainbow Dash, she looks plain next to Pinkie Pie.

Another outfit just right for Applejack.

As you can see they can wear some normal BAB clothes. RD has more limitations because of her wings. But if nothing else, they can wear any skirt.

I just realized when I ordered online, they didn't ask anywhere how much stuffing I wanted in mine. And there wasn't a special instructions box anywhere that I could see. If they don't put enough in, can they be opened up easily to add more stuffing? Or would I have to rip out a seam to add more?
I had an aunt that ordered a frog from build a bear and when it arrived there was no stuffing in the body only the head which had been stuffed before it left the factory were it was sewed. She had to take it too a local build a bear workshop for the body to be stuffed for free. So what ever pony you ordered it will arrive completey unstuffed except for the head. So you will  have to take it a local Build a Bear to have it stuffed. If u dont have a local build a bear then sadly you will be stuck stuffing it yourself. Build a bear does it like that to get you in the store hoping that u will buy more while u are there getting it stuffed.

Same here, I order the majority of my Build a Bear stuff online because my ability to drive is limited and my local store has a hard time keeping stuff in stock. I've never had a toy come unstuffed unless I made a note on the order for it to be that way. You can also note on the order how much you want your plush stuffed: "floppy" for loosely stuffed plush, or "stuff firmly" if you want fat bears. Also if you order clothes with the plush, if you want it to arrive already dressed you can request that as well (if you don't they just throw the clothes in the box with your plush).

The only problems with the special instructions box is it is very small and hard to see on the order page, and can be easily missed.

Anyone know of a way to make the hair softer? My Pinkie's hair is really knotty and scraggly on the bottom and I'd like to make it softer and smoother.
 I would use water/conditioner but I'm not sure if I can do that with her?
Obviously I'd be using a small squirt bottle/cloth if I did, and not like, putting her head under a sink, lol.

I've have really good luck with a wig brush, wig spray, and curlers.  I use what I have found from my local Sally's beauty supply store.  I spray down the hair and then gently brush it out and wrap it around the curler.  Usually overnight is long enough for a good hold.  That seems to smooth out any issue I have with frizzly new pony hairs.  The brand of wig spray I uses is "Revelon dual conditioner for synthetic hair" and I like smaller sized bendable curlers made for spiral curls but almost anything round can work for a curler really.

How long does BABW usually take to ship online orders? I ordered an outfit on the 1st, which supposedly shipped on the 2nd, but the tracking currently says "electronic shipping info received" and my second order, from the 2nd, which is Pinkie & her outfit, hasn't shipped at all. It just says "processing" if I check my account. Should I be worried? I've ordered tons of stuff online and I've never had something take more than 2 days to ship. My first order was paid for using a credit card since it was a gift from my mom, but my second order was paid for using my Paypal account. I just logged into Paypal and it has "Pending" listed as the status on my payment to them. Does this mean there's some kind of issue, or has BABW just gotten behind on orders?

I hope so. My biggest worry is that they'll send me one that has issues, but by the time I get her, they'll be completely sold out and I won't be able to get a replacement. I mean, I've seen several people post on her saying they saw ones with crooked eyes, messed up noses, hair problems and other issues, so that got me worried. Two years ago I when ordered the SDCC pony and she arrived with a fairly bad factory error, but since they had sold out before I got her, I wasn't able to exchange her for a better one. I have pretty bad luck usually, which is why I generally don't order ponies or dolls online.

I ordered my plush on the 1st. It shipped Wednesday the 3rd. The tracking said electronic info received. I checked today and it's out for delivery. Don't count on tracking lol.

They are overloaded with pony orders! Normally I get same day shipping on my orders so i know they are backed up.

oh When paypal says pending, BAB does NOT claim the money until your order ships.

I love everyone's pictures!! The build a bear ponies are really cute :heart:

I came home with a Pinkie Pie on skates + dress + leash.

It's funny but my cat absolutely ADORES her. She gives her rubs, nose kisses and follows her around.  :drunk:

I got my Dashie today!

She is actually pretty cute! I didn't think I would like the doll hair but It adds to her. No girly stuff for me though so I went with a navy hoodie for her :)

How does the hoodie fit around her wings?  Is it just sitting higher on her back/ above her wings?

Another outfit just right for Applejack.

As you can see they can wear some normal BAB clothes. RD has more limitations because of her wings. But if nothing else, they can wear any skirt.

These pictures are ADORABLE!!!  You have inspired me to dig the trunks out of the basement that have all of my stored BABs and clothes.  I have some super cute outfits and I believe I have those wonderful overalls and boots tucked away for AJ too!

I got mine today! :) My Dashie's wings are wrinkled though...other Dashies were fine but had flawed faces. :/

By the way, the guy at the store did confirm that "the purple one" will be the third BAB pony - but mentioned nothing about a fourth one. :( I hope all the mane six characters will be released!

Poor Rarity is probably going to be in the last wave of these if she's released at all, because Twilught always gets the unicorn priority! :(

I got Rainbow Dash earlier this week, and she's fantastic. :) These plush are much larger than I expected, as well as well made and very pretty. They're the perfect size for kids to cuddle, too. :)
Title: Re: Build a Bear ~ Build a Pony
Post by: phoenixsoul85 on April 06, 2013, 06:27:33 AM
They are the perfect size for adults to cuddle too.  hehe.

I have a theory... For those of you that bought the brushes, did you notice the characters on it?
Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle, and Spike.  Perhaps I am grasping but normally you see Mane 6 on everything.  MAYBE that means then purple one is actually a purple TWO.  Here is another thought, purple one would most likely imply that the BODY is purple, but maybe it could be the mane (my brother's girlfriend would be SOOOOO happy).  Either way, I am just glad we are getting more.  We need to show them how solid the want/need is so they continue the rest of the mane 6 and BEYOND!!!


My fiance wants to go to a movie today, so I am going to make a fly-by around the BAB to see how low their supply is.  AND to see all the fun pony stuff they should have going on this weekend.  I strongly suggest that if you don't have these lovely ladies that you make the trip ASAP or order them online.  Be back soon, y'all!

I really like this pony brush theory - nice one, phoenixsoul! :D  (I really doubt they mean "the one with the purple MANE" though - they would've said "the white unicorn" or something. :()
Perhaps they are just gauging the MLP popularity right now - and if PP, RD & the purple one are successful, they'll bring out the others in the future!  :hope:

Ok, so my BAB manager buddy said that when she talked to a corporate visitor Wednesday that he confirmed... FLUTTERSHY.  (let the quiet screams of excitement commence).  He did say that there will be another but would not say who nor what color.  I told her my theory (which is posted further up).  I would also like to revamp my thoughts.  Perhaps if they release Spike, he will not be a full-sized BAB but the smaller support animals (not the smallfrys).  This would maybe make him closer to his size in the show/ other toys.  Thoughts?

Also, Evil Dead was pretty good.  Super gory though.  I would have much rather seen OZ but since my fiance waited in line with me to me the first to get PP and RD on Monday, I suppose seeing that movie was fair.

Fluttershy!?!?! Yay!

My guy friend that went to BABW with me REALLY wants Spike. He was going around the store, looking at the clothes and picking out things that he wanted to put on Spike. :P He made sure all the employees knew that he wanted a BAB Spike. I hope that they do make Spike bear sized so that he can wear at least some of the clothes. I was thinking about it the next day and realized that Spike isn't going to be able to wear the pants from the current outfits because of his tail. Spike's tail is a lot thicker at the base than any other BAB animal.

Some hair loss is to be expected.  Remember to brush from tip to root-gently.  If it is really bad, contact your store.  BAB is REALLY good about customer service, I am sure they will help correct the problem.

They did make that Year of the Dragon BAB last year.  He has a very thick tail too.  I think they made some special clothes for him too.  Although, I don't really recall Spike wearing pants except the total body suit he wore when Twilight, Pinkie, and he broke into the palace library.

Oh, yeah. That's right. Well, I mean the average BAB animal. And didn't Spike wear pants with his tux for the wedding? And there was his dragon costume for Nightmare Night.... I hope they make his Rarity t-shirt!

I took a couple more pictures of Pinkie today.

I happened upon a garage sale today and found these fake nose and glasses there. While I was building Pinkie I was thinking how she NEEDS her fake nose and glasses, but BABW doesn't make anything like that. I'll get some better outside pictures tomorrow. It's to windy today.

I got my pony outfit today. It looks adorable on my BABW Hello Kitty. Hopefully my second order (Pinkie & her Gala outfit) will ship by Monday. I'll definitely buy Fluttershy if they release her. I don't know about any of the others, though. I probably wouldn't be able to resist getting a Rarity if they make her, though. She'd be really fun to pick out an outfit for.

I think it would make sense that the next two would be Spike and Twilight. The top to the outfit I got has Spike, Twilight, Pinkie and Rainbow Dash on it and so does the brush.

In the survey they did way back, I voted for Fluttershy & Rarity. If they really followed the survey results, then I guess Pinkie & Dash are really the most popular. I guess that's why there's so much more merch with those two. I just figured there would be more people like me who are getting kind of tired of always just seeing those two. I know when the G4 toys first started coming out, I was still kind of tired of Pinkie from G3. Yes, I know she's pink and little girls like pink, but you'd think even kids would get sick of seeing the same character all the time.
Title: Re: Build a Bear ~ Build a Pony

Must agree on this! PP makes me cringe I am so sick of her. And Rainbow Dash is coming a close second. Especially since she mutated into the winged thing. Please! Please! Variety would be wonderful!

I think it would be fair to say however, considering how that poll spread through most online fan forums that a large portion of the responders were collectors and bronies. Pinkie's pinkness may be designed at little girls, but the way Hasbro push her and Dash is a general indicator of popularity as if they didnt sell or didnt get positive response on them they could easily swap them out for a different pairing.

Has anyone else who ordered online within the first day or two not had theirs shipped yet? Mine still just says "Processing". I don't get what the problem is. I ended up sending them an email asking what's going on with my order. It's not a very good first online experience with them and it definitely makes me question wanting to buy from them again in the future.

I asked how all was going with the sales and the associates said that what they had on the floor was all of their pony inventory and that would be it.

Yikes! Don't panic if you haven't gotten one yet but I would go as soon as possible based on that. I should mention that it is the only BaB in Tucson soooo....

I'd like to get the Rainbow Dash with the cotton candy scented disc thing. I have a question though. Will she come already put together? Or if not, instructions how to put it together? XD It shouldn't be too hard, but I want to make sure I get it right ;)

I will love to cuddle my cotton candy scented Dashy at night and dream of ponies :hearts:

You don't actually put them together, they're just unstuffed, and if you want them stuffed you just have to specify it on the website. They have a pre-stuffed head, and a floppy unstuffed body, and at Build-A-Bear they just fill them with stuffing and a heart and whatever other goodies you'd like (music/sounds/scents/etc).

The people at BAB will either stuff it for you or send it unstuffed. It's up to you!

I wondered if using Paypal was the reason for the lag in shipping time. My first order, I just paid using a credit card, but for this one, I used Paypal. I guess next time I'll just use a credit card.

I just got the shipping notification email from them a few minutes ago. The tracking doesn't work yet, but I remember the same thing happening with my first order. It didn't work for a few days, but when it did, it was already at my local post office. So hopefully my Pinkie will get here by the end of the week.

So I went to a Tacoma BaB today to get Pinkie Pie, funnily I was the only one in the store and the Employee was a Brony too XD so I asked while paying about the Rumor of Twilight and Fluttershy, to what the Manager said Twilight is coming in the Fall (Unknown if Twilicorn or not) and Fluttershy is coming in November or December. Seems legit.

It didn't cross my mind that it could be PRINCESS Twilight.  I suppose it would make sense since the new toys should be released around the same time.  It would pave the way for the other princesses too.

My guy friend that went to BABW with me REALLY wants Spike. He was going around the store, looking at the clothes and picking out things that he wanted to put on Spike. :P He made sure all the employees knew that he wanted a BAB Spike. I hope that they do make Spike bear sized so that he can wear at least some of the clothes. I was thinking about it the next day and realized that Spike isn't going to be able to wear the pants from the current outfits because of his tail. Spike's tail is a lot thicker at the base than any other BAB animal.

They did make that Year of the Dragon BAB last year.  He has a very thick tail too.  I think they made some special clothes for him too.  Although, I don't really recall Spike wearing pants except the total body suit he wore when Twilight, Pinkie, and he broke into the palace library.

Oh, yeah. That's right. Well, I mean the average BAB animal. And didn't Spike wear pants with his tux for the wedding? And there was his dragon costume for Nightmare Night.... I hope they make his Rarity t-shirt!

I took a couple more pictures of Pinkie today.

I happened upon a garage sale today and found these fake nose and glasses there. While I was building Pinkie I was thinking how she NEEDS her fake nose and glasses, but BABW doesn't make anything like that. I'll get some better outside pictures tomorrow. It's to windy today.

Thanks for sharing BerylBreeze!!!  If anyone is on another forum, please make sure to share the survey with the rest of our fellow pony friends.  Also, I would like to point out that you can take the survey more than once.  Let's show them how serious we are about more ponies!!!

Post by: Keelee_von_Cupcake on April 10, 2013, 06:38:10 AM
Survey taken! My dream ponies for them to make are Rarity, Princess Luna, and (though not nearly as much as the first two, and only in white) Princess Celestia. For extra clothing I suggested red horn rimmed glasses and big rainbow butterfly wings for Rarity, and princess crowns plus their armor-esque necklaces and hoof covers. All detachable of course, and sharable between ponies.

I took the survey! Here are my suggestions for accessories.

Fluttershy's Gala dress, Elements of Harmony necklaces and crown, Applejack's hat, the main six's pets as Smallfries, a spa set for Rarity, a study set for Twilight Sparkle, Spike's "I love Rarity" shirt and his dragon costume from Nightmare Night. (Can I just come work for you? ;P )

Now I'm off to email the survey to friends.

Oh thank you so much for the survey link! Seeing them consider the CMC as Smallfries makes me giddy, I'd love a little trio of idiots fillies! I'd honestly buy all of them, if money weren't an option. I blanked on outfit ideas but I suggested catchphrases (Sugarcube, ...yay..., ect) and some insert songs (specifically Smile, Smile, Smile as it's a catchy song and fits Build-A-Bear) for sound ideas.

Oh goodness! Thanks for posting the survey BerylBreeze!!

I was all over Yes to Trixie and the princesses, plus most of the others minus what they already made.

Suggested Octavia because she stands for music! That could be great for little kids who are skilled musicians or even just love music :heart:

I wrote in Princess Cadance's babysitter song because it's the cutest thing ever and I would LOVE a plush that sang "Sunshine Sunshine ladybugs awake....." It's just perfect for build a bear!

That was so much fun filling out. yay!

Also noted that a wonderbolts hoodie/costume would be great for Rainbow Dash. :cool:

I love how large they are.

And yes, they came stuffed like I wanted.

My only complaint about shopping online at Build A Bear is that every time they have a sale or holiday, their shipping department backs up. (Don't ever do overnight shipping with them, you will NEVER get your plush in under a week).

Thanks for posting that survey. I voted yes on everyone except Trixie. I suggested the pets as Small Frys and Spike as an additional character/small fry. I also said they should make Applejack's hat and a Wonderbolt outfit for Dash. I really hope we at least get the main 6 and Luna.

A few days ago, back before my order finally shipped, I had emailed BABW to ask why my order was taking so long to ship. They finally replied today and this is what they said:

Quote
Thank you for contacting us.  We are beary pleased to have you as our Guest!  After reviewing your order, we see that it was not shipped until the 9th of April with an estimated delivery date of Monday, April 15th.  Because our time allowed for USPS delivery is 6-9 business days and you order will be delivered outside that time frame, we are going to refund to you $4.95 paid for shipping.

It is our hope that you will consider ordering from us again as this is NOT a typical experience of our Guests.  If you have any other questions, please let us know!

I honestly wasn't even expecting to hear back from them, especially once I got the shipping notice in my email. I guess this does make me feel better about ordering next time. Though, I'll definitely use a credit card instead of Paypal just in case that was the main reason it was so delayed. I was hoping to get Pinkie this week, but I guess I won't. The tracking they gave me still doesn't show anything. When I click on the tracking, all I get is this message:

Delivery status information is not available for your item via this web site. A return receipt after mailing may be available through your local Post Office.

I'm guessing that message is similar to the "Electronic Shipping Info Received" where it wasn't necessarily shipped, but the tracking label was printed off.

BAB is really good with customer service.  When I went back to get the refund for the over charge of $2 I mentioned earlier in this post, they gave me an extra $5 for having to drive back to the store.  (Future pony money)
Title: Re: Build a Bear ~ Build a Pony
Post by: ShortyBoo on April 11, 2013, 03:15:49 PM
That was definitely nice of them to refund the shipping cost for my order. I was just hoping they'd explain why my order hadn't shipped (I was hoping there wasn't a problem with the order) and maybe get it shipped if it hadn't already by the time they got back to me. I love to see companies with good customer service, so I'm happy. There's too many companies now that don't really care if a customer is happy or not. So it's nice to see there are still some who do care.

So we went to the Build a Bear Store nearest to us and got Pinkie and Rainbow. They didn't give us birth certificates though! Ugh didn't realize that until we got home. Oh well.  :(

I did get the cotton candy scent in Pinkie which is sooo awesome! The little MLP sound thing is annoying. Hard to push, can't turn off..anyway just got it in Pinkie. Pinkie is mainly for my daughter and I got Rainbow for me. hehe :cool:
My poor daughter cried the whole time we were in there cause of the stuffing machine. That and she's only 2 and a half. But once we got home she hasn't let go of Pinkie or the cute brush they sell!  :biggrin:

They had plenty of ponies and accessories in stock I was happy to see. They are just so neat! I can't wait for them to bring out the rest. So far from all the stuffed ones I've seen, best stuffed ones ever! lol
Love the real hair and outfits. And they look more real than other stuffed ones I've seen and more real in some ways than the little ones. And they are so soft and cuddly!  :biggrin:

Clerk told me they will be keeping Rainbow Dash around for awhile but Pinkie will be going away I guess when they bring more out. And it sounds like Rarity and Applejack were the most requested. But she said once they go over the survey we'll all find out which set is next. Wee!!  :biggrin:

So that's my update of my trip to the Build a Bear store.  :biggrin:
When I can I'll post pics.

*update*
I called the store tonight and they said I could go back in and just use the tags off the ponies to make the certificates. Yay! I wanted to get another Pinkie and a brush anyway. I'm glad its not too far--about a half hour to 40 minutes.

Wow, August? I guess that means she'll be in the second batch then? I can't wait to get her. I just hope they make her hair and tail long.

The tracking on my package changed from "Electronic Shipping Info Received" to "Arrival at Post Office" this morning. So I guess I will have her tomorrow. What I don't get is how she got to my local post office when we don't have a BABW anywhere near here. The tracking is only showing it as being at my local PO, so it seems like it was mailed from there.

If the online orders are shipped from Ohio, why doesn't the tracking show that? My tracking just has four events on it (Electronic Shipping Info Received, Arrival at Post Office, Sorting Complete, Out for Delivery) and all four are at my local Post Office. And every single package that I've ever had arrive from out of town first goes through the sorting facility in Champaign, IL. This one didn't. Which goes along with the theory that it was shipped directly from my local post office.

I had the same thing happen the one time we got USPS shipping. IIRC, it's actually not SUPPOSED to come with tracking... it's part of the reason we usually choose FedEx Ground, it's a bit more but we can at least track it.
Title: Re: Build a Bear ~ Build a Pony
Post by: ShortyBoo on April 13, 2013, 10:53:16 AM
That's really strange. I buy tons of stuff online and I've never seen it not scan anywhere else before my local post office. Well, except for that FedEx SmartPost (I think that's what it's called) that Amazon uses a lot lately. But I think that's just because FedEx drops it off at my local post office to deliver it to me. I don't understand the point of that, but I hate FedEx, so anything to avoid using them for delivery makes me happy. They always throw our packages on the porch and run back to the truck without knocking or anything. If we're not watching out the window for them, we won't notice the package and it could easily get stolen. Not to mention the fact that they throw it and it could get damaged.

EDIT: She's here! I absolutely adore her!

I have no idea why her hair is photographing that bright neon red color. It's a way more pink in person. But my comforter I used as a background looks to be the correct colors. Weird.

Anyone have any tips on what to do with her hair? It feels super dry and is pretty frizzy. It's just her mane, though, her tail is silky and isn't frizzy. Once I took the rubberbands out of her mane and tail, I just ran my fingers through her hair since I didn't buy the brush. Now I'm regretting it, but I don't want to make another order just for the brush.

Anyone know a safe way to remove ink from these? When I removed Pinkie's cape (she came dressed) I found a small black line that looks like it was made with a black pen or marker on her display side directly under the band to her skirt. Water and soap didn't remove it and I'm afraid of trying anything more severe because I don't want to ruin the fabric.

You just got her, right? I would call BABW. If she came to you that way they should be able to send you a new one.

I agree, I have a pinkie pie plush already.....and a Fluttershy and Twilight, but since Fluttershy and Twilight are my favorites, I will get them instead of Pinkie or Rainbow since they are kinda expensive..and I personally have to go to a different state just to go to build a bear.

Anyone know a safe way to remove ink from these? When I removed Pinkie's cape (she came dressed) I found a small black line that looks like it was made with a black pen or marker on her display side directly under the band to her skirt. Water and soap didn't remove it and I'm afraid of trying anything more severe because I don't want to ruin the fabric.

You just got her, right? I would call BABW. If she came to you that way they should be able to send you a new one.

Yeah, she came with the ink mark on her. It's a curved black line about an inch long. It reminds me of a ballpoint pen mark, but I don't know for sure that's what it is. I know I probably could send her back for a replacement, but it took almost 2 full weeks to get her in the first place and it's not a major thing really. Her outfit does cover it up. I just figured if there was an easy way to remove it without harming her, I'd do it, but if there's not I'd just leave it how it is.

I hope they release the Princess ponies next! Celestia, Luna, Cadance and Twilight Sparkle, I think I would be broke if they did that XD I bought a Rainbow Dash yesterday, and I thought I wouldn't like the 'real' hair, but it's actually very fun to play with!

Okay, I'm late on the bandwagon, and don't want to read all 26 pages.  *blush*

Could someone fill me in - are they releasing more than Rainbow Dash and Pinkie?  And how long are they gonna be at BAB?  =D

They will probably be at BAB until stock runs out. I'm guessing until the month of april. As for the others, we have heard from BAB employees that twilight and fluttershy are up next for the month of August.

Really?? Is this confirmed? :O I will definitely be there on the first day of the release for both, I REALLY want a Fluttershy! Rainbow Dash sold out here in my city in 11 days!! So only Pinkie Pie is left for this round. So glad I got both of mine on April 1st :)

Still waiting for my Dash in the mail. Hopefully I can find Pinkie secondhand at a later date :P I'm glad to see that they have other characters planned. I wish Applejack wasn't always last though :P (Assuming BAB makes her at all)

I must say they really mastered the cute factor with these. Every picture I see, Pinkie and RD's eyes are looking into my soul telling me to buy them. If they make Luna and Celestia ones my mind would just lose it. I saw that they were mentioned in that poll, so now I wonder how likely it is that they actually happen.

Hurrah!  That's awesome  :biggrin:  I took Rainbow to a friend's house the other day and it was fun journeying with a pony, and then I brought Pinkie in her skates to a niece's bday bash to celebrate with her stuffies/her own BaB Dash. Yay for pony companions!

Went to Build A Bear for my birthday (the 13th) and instead of just getting Rainbow Dash as I was planning, I just couldn't resist that adorable little face of Pinkie's so now they are both mine! :lol:
I can't get over how soft and absolutely adorable they are!!!

Glad to hear they're releasing more because my mom texted me yesterday saying she has a $25 gift card for BAB that was my brother's but he doesn't want it... :devious:

From what I heard from the employee at our store she said Pinkie would be going away but Dash would be around for awhile. My store still had TONS of each though.

And it was still very much up in the air as to what two were coming in August, so I wouldn't confirm Fluttershy or Twilight no matter what was said.  It depends on the survey outcome.

She did say the most requests they had gotten were Applejack and Rarity so far. So don't assume anything folks! :D
Besides I'm sure they will release all six by the end of the year anyway.

And I don't think they are expensive at all! Wish people would stop saying that. They are very reasonable for what you get and I've seen the prices of other plushes. They are very much worth it! At least these are more accurate looking, well made and a good size. Not to mention the outfits and such. When you get all the accessories then it ads up. But just the ponies aren't that much at all.
And besides they way they are spreading out the releases its not too big a deal to buy them. Now if they released them all at once, uh oh!! lol

I stopped in at my BaB today to pick up the skates since I was regretting not getting them and to pay for my RD who wasn't added to my bill on the 1st when I went and did my ponies.  The great news is that the cashier talked to her manager and said I could keep RD for free!  Yay, now I'm not stealing the pony, I get it for free.  BaB really is as awesome as everyone says.  The bad news was that there's no more RD's at my store. :(  Good thing I got mine when I did.  Lots of Pinkie's though.  I love the idea of having a travelling pony!

When I last went to my BAB, they still had both ponies but Rainbow Dash was easily the favorite one. Her bins has much less ponies in compared to Pinkie Pie's. I've seen maybe 3 times as many RDs leave the store than Pinkies. I am surprised since I though kids/girls would prefer Pinkie Pie more. xD

My Dash came in the mail today! She's great! Very well-made and bigger than I expected, somehow. Her hair feels like it'll be prone to tangling easily though, so she can't sleep on the bed...no idea where I'm going to put her now!

I'm also wondering if the build-a-bear people look at the comments section of the orders at all.Last time I ordered online, I bought 3 animals and requested "medium stuffing" since I didn't want them to be all hard but I didn't want them super floppy either. They all came stuffed pretty full. This time, I requested that they not send the little cardboard box-house (since I'd just stick it straight in the recycling bin anyway) and they sent one anyway. Neither case was a big deal, obviously, but still I'm getting the impression that they just overlook that part...

You'd think right, since she's pink!   It seems that even if they don't really know Rainbow Dash's character at all...that the rainbow hair makes the sell!  Her wings are pretty neat also.

Is anyone having trouble getting these in their area?  I'm going to be at my local BaB this week, and am willing to pick up some if anyone needs them.  PM me if you're interest.  Yes, I am willing to ship overseas:)

I got pinkie today! I wanted to do the whole she-bang... but all I did was kiss the heart and put it in. She asked if I wanted the charity heart, I said no, and she looked at me as if I'd shot her.

Also no RD's at all at my store, she didn't stuff it as full as I wanted but, then again i got the feels she just felt awkward serving me and didn't really want too.

Aww. I don't think they stuffed my pony as full as I wanted either. My RD's head flops slightly to the left because her neck is really floppy! :(

They made me jump up and down 5 times to start it, rub it on my own heart to give it love , rub it on my knee (so it NEEDS me), rub it on my forehead so it was smart...etc then kiss it, wish on it, and place it.

One BAB had me just kiss it though.
