superbagpuss · 25/06/2013 18:16

my DT got build a bear vouchers for their birthday so we want along and got them a bear each

while I was there I saw a my little pony build a bear and saw a sully - from monsters inc - being advertised

I'm 32 and not at all girlie - would I be unreasonable to get me one for my bedroom? I have the money so DT wouldn't go without?
my birthday is 6 months away so a long time to wait for a present

Yes! Go for it. I've got a Jedi build a bear that takes pride of place in my bedroom.

I have a blush and each year gets new Children in need clothes. I don't see why the DDs should get all the fun.

DO IT! You only live once Grin

I was in a store a few weeks, I'm not one for cuddly toys but the My Little Pony is absolutely gorgeous.

MimsyBorogroves · 25/06/2013 18:31

The Sully looks slightly scary (why has a nice one never been released?) but the my little ponies are lovely Wink

5madthings · 25/06/2013 18:33

Why not, I am very tempted to get myself a my little pony one, the one with wings and rainbow wings and it will need the roller skates they do for them. not that I have spent time perusing build a bear website

therumoursaretrue · 25/06/2013 18:33

Get one!

I have a lovely limited edition Christmas one - a little reindeer that comes out every year. DP bought me her because I kept saying I'd love one but couldn't justify it when I was a broke student!

wankerchief · 25/06/2013 18:37

I asked dh to surprise me for my birthday last year so he took me to build a bear and it was great!

I made a giraffe (Stanley) and got some outfits. Twas fun

TheMagicKeyCanFuckOff · 25/06/2013 18:40

DO IT!

superbagpuss · 25/06/2013 18:42

Oh god I have the link opened in another page, £19 for a basic pony, I want rainbow dash, and would need two pairs if skates at £5 each, and and and....perhaps I can convince grandma to buy it for 'dd' and then keep it safely away from sticky little fingures

I may have all the Mr potato head star wars figures they did, Darth Vader, r2d2 and a clone trooper... They sit up on a shelf where the madthings can't reach them!

I bought the limited edition Miss Piggy from build a bear and I am 36. Smile

poppycock6 · 25/06/2013 19:13

Yanbu. Love the build a bear! Think I get more enjoyment out of them than my DD's Smile

HoneyDragon · 25/06/2013 19:22

Applejack you say?

Dd got Rainbow Dash and they are inseparable Smile

I like AppleJack though Blush

floatyjosmum · 25/06/2013 20:23

I have rainbow dash and I didn't feel too old - just too tall!

honeytea · 25/06/2013 20:29

Yabu, it is a teddy, you are an adult.

I bought a build a brear for my (child) sister, she wasn't with me it was a supprise present but they made me kiss the heart before I put it in the bear, I was all alone, in my lunch break but there was lots of kids around so I had to kiss the fabric heart whilst the bear lady cheerfully said "kiss the heart and fill your bear with love" I muttered "it's not my bear" and left as fast as possible.

plainjaney · 25/06/2013 20:37

YANBU if if makes you happy then do it. Life is too short.

I'm obsessed with Woolly Mammoths, in the USA they do 'Build A Dino'. My lovely DH bought me a Mammoth and Baby and they live on our bed. 'Malcolm' the mammoth makes me smile whenever I see him.

I'm stunned.

GoshAnneGorilla · 25/06/2013 20:45

Do it.

I cannot believe anyone would miserable enough to say otherwise.

Dd would love a Rainbow dash.

hearthwitch · 25/06/2013 20:45

I've got a kermit and if they do apple jack I'm totally getting one.

Moominsummermadness · 25/06/2013 20:47

DD3 has Rainbow Dash. If Applejack is coming out, I may need to buy it to keep Rainbow Dash company (fond memories of Applejack being my first MLP aged 5).

It's DD2's birthday in a month, and she wants a load of build a bear clothes. I have to confess to being a little bit excited about choosing the outfits with her. I clearly don't get out enough.
