I figure what better place to ask than a roomful of local furries, eh? I've looked at all the typical places: Toys R Us, Walmart, Sears, the Bay, Zellers... A bunch of side shops in Metrotown. They've all turned up nothing! Walmart had jumbo sized teddy bears EXACTLY like what I want about 2.5 years ago and I regret never purchasing one.
Any thoughts?
Well you could always wait till Playland opens :p
But i know there's a Store in the Mall that's right by the SeaBus in NorthVan. its full of kids stuff and plushies:3 i don't remember the name fo the mall nor the Store ^^;
hope that helps
I bought a relatively big bear from Walmart about 2 years ago, for only 30$ o: if they don't have them now, or, if you only went to one location, other locations might have them. o: I'll post up a picture sometime tomorrow of how big it is. :D (Also, the Walmart I went too was out in Lougheed)
Thats probably the one!!! Any chance you can post the manufacturer's info or anything like that you may have?
There's A Wal Mart in North Vancouver that had a big bin of giant plushies, like a dog and a bear and a horse, and they were only $5. Dunno if it's still there but I bought one in December as a gift, and they were HUUUUUGE, almost as big as me.
...
Which means it's like....5'4" >.>
Sweet Factory in Metropolis mall has a pretty big teddy for $69.99
Costco Richmond has *gigantic* teddy bears for 38 bucks, I think.
A friend told me about those onees at Costco. Wasn't sure if it was a states thing or not.
I was at Costco yesterday and there were big teddy bears
If you are looking for big along with a good deal, Costco and WalMart are your best bet.
Thanks guys! My gf picked up one from Cosco for me a couple of weeks ago. I came home and there was this HUGE bear waiting for me. Absolutely perfect! Thanks for all your help :)
was just at costco yesterday they are 32.50 plus tax there are a couple left at the burnaby location out by government road and I noticed they have the discontinue symbol on them so whatever they have left is all they are going to carry. brown and tan bears 53" I think if there are any small people here it would make for a pretty good suit just take the stuffing out and modify it with a zipper, places to see and breath. Or a good halloween costume or just a good bear to have in the room :)
There's a bunch still at the Downton location as well. I was just there and seems I was beaten to the punch with this find.
you said you saw one at walmart a few years ago. did you go to the manager and ask if s/he remembeers them and if so where might you get one?
try contacting ganz bros, or call playland and ask the manager where they order the really big ones from
good luck
