This is the one and only thing my daughter has asked for Xmas and i cant find one anywhere. My nearest stores dont have it available, Its not on there website and I cant find one on eBay. Does anyone know where I can get one?

As far as I can tell they are only available in the US www.buildabear.com/shopping/productDetail.jsp?productId=prod10580034&dressMeMode=true&soundEligible=true
But they ship from there to the EU so you should just be able to order one from there.

They were certainly available over here. My DD has one, it was bought in the Arndale Centre, Manchester store end of June.

Could you ask in your local store if they could ship one over from the US for you? Or perhaps they have an old display model you could buy? They are usually really helpful and if you explain your DD is desperate for one for Christmas I'm sure they'd help. Good luck!

Thanks but I live in London, so a little far for me to travel. Does anyone know if I would get charged custom fees if i bought from the US site?

I think Royal Mail stick a handling charge on parcels stopped at Customs too, around £12 if I remember correctly!

I saw them in Glasgow. Could you not ask them through their website?

Ring your local store they will email all stores to see if anyone has them and get it sent to your local store for you. There maybe one knocking around in someone's office somewhere!
