Build A Bear Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy Retiring/Retired?

[teresat]

I remember the Celestia thread a while ago....

So, I went into Build a Bear today to ask if they knew about when the new My Little Pony characters would come out. She said that if the show introduces new characters they would probably introduce new plushes.

Also she said that RD and Fluttershy were "retired" in store stock was all that they were getting in stores and RD and Fluttershy would only be available online from now on.

Has anyone had any updates on Celestia or any additional or different news on RD and Fluttershy?

At my Build-A-Bear, I saw a sign on Fluttershy that says 'Retiring Soon' so it looks like you are right.

I'd love it if someone could ask them to check their computers about Celestia...It was rumored she was to be dropping this month, but it doesn't look to be the case anymore.  I have $30 build-a-bear bucks I need to spend before they expire

If it's true in regards to Fluttershy retiring, then i'm glad I managed to scoop her up on the first day (or rather my husband did, as I received an un-stuffed Fluttershy for christmas the year it came out)

I dont think I would be stunned if some of them pop up again in the future. There are probably a limited number of characters that they can cycle out. So I guess it depends on how long the line runs as to what we see.

I hope everyone who wants to manages to buy FS and RD just in case though

Would the price reduce right before retirement, I wonder? I still don't have Rainbow Dash, but I wonder if I'll regret not having her if she retires....

Sadly that is a no.  They are still selling very well at their price.  Best bet is to find a coupon

I have one, although I'm thinking I'd rather spend it on Applejack. I want to get Applebloom for my birthday, and I thought it would be awesome to have them both. I didn't think I'd be able to get them around the same time, but this coupon I have now would make it possible.

... Although if I'm there and suddenly get struck in a certain way by Rainbow Dash and see a Retiring Soon sign on her, I might end up swayed....

If anyone is interested, Im selling my Rainbow Dash because I don't like G4 anymore. (;

It would be a shame to see them retired, but they may have a agreement to only release so many or for a certain period of time. They are gorgeous in person, photos do them no justice.
