I am BEARY pleased to announce that I am now able to offer the following RETIRED creative PLUSH , each nestled in its own plastic sleeping baggie or original factory sleeve at the stated EXTRA LOW adoption fees. You will NOT find them cheaper anywhere! I usually have 4 to 6 of each at my smoke free * Critter Adoption Center *

YOU WANT MY REFERENCES? Check them out at SUNGATO on eBay [and while you are there, click on my ME page to learn more about who I am] ! I have been collecting BEARS for close to 60 years, and started this web site in 2003 to share my enthusiasm for these lovable animals -- so I am NOT new on the scene! I do NOT sell a lot, BUT I have fun trying to help others complete their collection! And I have made friends around the world in the process! Do NOT look for shopping carts and all that commercial stuff -- I do everything the OLD FASHIONED WAY!

I always give you a personalized QUOTE in writing BEFORE you confirm your order.

These highly sought after Celebrity Bears are NOT issued in astronomical editions as are certain other popular Beanbag Collectible Toys! They have been retiring at editions of ONLY some 12,000 - 23,000!!

They are offered on a first-come-first-served basis. Supply is limited to my current inventory of these highly collectible critters. Once they are GONE, they are GONE forever!

SHIPPING is NOT included in my extraordinary bear-bones adoption fees for individual Retired bears. PRIORITY shipping [in a box] with TRACKING for one to three 8" BEARS in the U.S.A. would be only about $6.00 -- Actual shipping cost will be shown in your QUOTE. So save on shipping and stock up while your favorites are still in the nursery!

FOREIGN ORDERS and / or INSURANCE would be additional -- shipping charges do vary according to foreign shipping method used.

I SHIP MY CRITTERS WORLDWIDE!

B E A R S MAKE GREAT GIFTS !

ALL of these BEARS, unless noted to the contrary, are approximately 8" tall

They are ALL out of production = RETIRED!
