I had never heard of Build A Bear until this today, so yes great PR stunt. My kid is only 18 months old though, I guess I would have heard of it if he were a little older

This reminds me of Michael Scott's golden ticket promotion on The Office.

went to the mall today. The line for that stretched across the mall.


No shite. I walked to the food courts across from my office and was like WTF?!?!

There were legitimately 1000 people in line.

How much could you possibly save?? $40?

I think it is a lot more than $25, but I could be wrong.

A friend of mine took his two girls to Mall of Louisiana around 10:30AM.. He texted me and said he was told that there was a 9 hr wait and gave them a $15 gift certificate.

I have seen this store and all and hear of people's kids having one, but I never really knew what was involved in it. Evidently they sale clothes for these things?

The bear isn’t expensive at all ... like $25. Its when the little skank filling it up with cotton asks your little 4 year old if she wants her to put a special wish star inside for $15. Of course she does!!!! Then she asks is she wants her to put special fairy dust inside to make it special... only $15... of course she does!!!! Dont forget the $30 outfit and then of course it needs a bath at the spa for $20.

Who are you to tell someone they are wrong for identifying as a certain age?
