According to the other thread and their Facebook page, they have been on and sold out......also like last year they r coming in drips and draps so some ppl are managing to get them by constantly refreshing the pages.

I managed to get a pair about 2am but when I logged on at midnight I couldn't see them. Had a look on their FB page to see what people were saying and found out that there's a little 'Black Friday' icon right at the bottom of the page and people had also listed the code. I fully expected it to be a banner on the homepage. From what people are saying about them drifting in and out of stock I think I must have just hit lucky (although they obviously haven't been delivered yet!). HTH

I had an email saying they would be on the site at 12.01am so waited up for my two boys to get them. The code was sent at 12.20 am but I had already purchased them. I do not consider myself greedy and build a bear falsely sent out information to customers with details on regarding how and when to buy them. So yes they should honour it as its their mistake for putting them Available for general sale before giving loyal customers the codes. You do not need a code to purchase I store so shouldn't need on online either!
As always if you didn't get up or get to the sale fast enough people brand everyone else as greedy who could actually be bothered:mad: and yes they were limited to 5 per person . Should I tell my children on Christmas Day they don't deserve them though because up instead of mum being caring she was just plain greedy!

Think the op meant the ones who buy half a dozen each then ebay the lot. From previous experience - and not just at Christmas BAB always put their items on their webpage with the code THEN they send the email to subscribers to let you know - don't think it's exclusive to subscribers and this is fromsomeone who's kids spend A LOT in BAB- tho they wont be getting a penguin!!!

I received the email with the code in at 23:52 last night so I doubt it was all 'greedy' people buying them without the code. Just normal people like you and me buying them or trying to buy them for their children or grandchildren. Don't blame customers for Build a Bear having inadequate stock.

They never have enough stock for ANY of their specials ie smurfs, chipmunks..
