Who's going to build a bear tomorrow?

I was wondering who's planning on going to build a bear tomorrow? I want to go, my LO is 11 months old. Thinking it's going to be rammed, which I absolutely hate. I was planning on getting there as soon as it opens. But I was just curious on if other people were planning on going to their local store.

Omg I was in the town today and saw a queue had no idea what it was for.. It was coming out of the shipping centre.. I then saw it was from build a bear.. I kidding must of been 300+ people! Lots with toddlers... Im sorry but all for a bear for say £2-4,(going by age of the children roughly) crying bored and hot kids in pushchairs..its cruel and unfair..

The irony that this is for their children, take them to the park for a few hours instead of a queue for an overhyped marketing ploy. Fools.

*shopping centre

I'm definitely glad it was closed by me now. Brought the bear I wanted off eBay for £8 with p&p. And won't even need to leave the house because it'll be delivered for me :)

Intu Braehead was a 5hr queue when my dsis got there... we swiftly decided no build a bear today. After you got to the front you then joined another long queue to stuff the bear. Was unbelieveable

I was just thinking. If the queues were 5 hours long. Time that by minimum wage, that's nearly £40. You could buy almost any bear with that! Seems sillt to wait 5 hours.
I've also seen people saying they kept their kids out of school for it!

@MaryShelley1818
I saw on the other thread that you got your bear. Well done and at least your patience was rewarded :)

I wanted to go but got the email saying they shut all queues before DD arrived from school. Now I’ve logged in to my account and there’s a £12 off voucher there, so if you have a BAB club account, go and check! I want a Vulpix Grin

I got there at about half 8 and at one entrance there was a huge queue. We were at another entrance that barely had a queue and were very lucky to be done within half an hour. By 9:15 they were quoting the wait time to be 7 hours Shock

If I wasn't in town early there is no way I would wait, the queue took up most of the top floor of Fenwicks (where my local BAB is) so you couldn't get in and out easily!
