 ...   Ty 'Billionaire 12' Bear
I had a reader recently asked if I was aware of a new Billionaire Bear.  Well, it looks like 'Billionaire Bear 12' is now in existence.  Thanks to Lisa and Shirley, who have pointed us to an eBay auction, listing this bear.  (According to the auction, 357 bears exist, and are autographed by Ty Warner.)   It's a dark blue bear, with a gold ribbon, a $ sign, and the number 12.  The auction states it was just released February 5.

 ...   Beanie Key-Clip Changes
If you are a Key-Clip collector, you will definitely want to make note of some upcoming changes.  Marc reports that Ty has changed the style of key-clips used on some of the styles.  These include the retired Dazzler Key-Clip Pinky and the current Rosa Key-Clip Pinky.  Maybe the change involves a safety factor?  We'll probably never know.  But photos below will show some of the changes anticipated with (a few of) the Key-Clips.
(images courtesy of Fabric Friends and Dolls)

Hi,  As I mentioned in a previous e-mail, Ty has changed the style of key-clip used (on most, but not all) of the Beanie Key-clip styles. This includes the retired Dazzler Key-clip Pinky and the current Rosa Key-clip Pinky.  here are pictures of the styles that were given an upgrade. Why some were chosen and not others beats me. Probably since these were the ones in the catalog and these were the ones Ty is pushing to sell as the best styles. I don't know if your readers are interested in something like that, it's just basic information to keep turning the wheel and keeping people interested in buying or the world of Ty news.

As I stated before, I guess Ty thought the metal clips could be unsafe or a hazard to children so they went with less harmful plastic clips, as we've seen on the newer styles like Bo, Snoopy and Woodstock, Hello Kitty, etc.

Regards,
Marc

 ...   2009 Cancer Awareness Beanie
One of our readers, Marc H of PA, writes:

Hi Deb!

I think this is the first time I've written to you. You seem to be the only Beanie site left that's open/active that I know of any more.
 
It's been getting increasingly difficult to find Beanies and there's been a lot of them I've missed out on over the past few years because the stores never seem to get anything in. And I'm not in a small town either. I live in a decent size suburban area (not too far from Phila., PA) and there's a number of Hallmarks and several Walgreens as well. There's a Barnes & Noble which I don't frequent and a Borders Express in the mall which I glance in on occasion. Another store I used to get some stuff in no longer carries Ty. The Hallmarks don't seem to be getting in much new stock and the one I mainly shop at (which is one of a large "chain" under one name-maybe 15+ stores) doesn't even get everything they order. Walgreens are hit or miss...sometimes they'll have the exclusives, other times not.
 
Anyway, the reason I'm writing is to try to find out if there was a Ty Beanie Baby bear for breast cancer in 2009. I tried going through your archived news and found nothing for last year but in Aug. 2008, Support was released. What puzzles me is that I have a piece of a Walgreens ad from Sept. 27-Oct. 3, 2009 that reads Ty 2009 Breast Cancer Awareness Bear $4.99 and has a picture which looks like Support the bear. Do you (or anyone) know if there was actually a bear released in 2009? I'll try to send a scan in later if I can but this has me wondering since there was never anything I know of announced last year.

Marc
 

Doodle's note:  Thanks for writing, Marc.  Many will agree with you, no matter where they live - Beanies are becoming more and more difficult to find.   It's just easier for me (personally) to order online - it saves time, money, and frustration.  To the best of my knowledge, 'Support' was the last Cancer Awareness Beanie that Ty introduced (August 1, 2008).  Unless my memory is failing, or I totally missed it, there was no Beanie introduced last year for Cancer Awareness.  I guess with a birthday in 2007, and introduced in 2008, we can call it a 2009 Breast Cancer Awareness Bear  :)

 ...   Keep Watching
Anticipated new Ty releases should be showing up on the Ty website soon.  Maybe today??  Keep an eye on the Ty website ... and of course, we'll keep you posted here!  :)
 

 ...   Snowy and Cold!
As you're probably aware, a good part of the country has been inundated with very cold weather, and snow/ice (including us).  As we move our thoughts a bit ahead, let's hope Mr. Groundhog doesn't see his shadow on Tuesday!  Yes, I think we're ready for Spring.  :)  (According to legend, if the groundhog sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter weather!)

 ...   Another Little Peek
Wish to see a couple more of the Li'l Ones?  We're posting another tiny peek.  :)

 ...   Renewed Excitement
Are you a long-time collector, and remember 'the way it was'?   David does, and shares the following:

 ...   A Self-Made Ty Jacket
Thanks to Barb (The Shutterbug) for sharing another one of her crafty ideas  :)   She writes:
... Thanks for sharing, Barb ... once again, such originality!

Doodles—one more time—  When TY ended its association with MasterCard plan I was left with quite a few credits.  I acquired these two sweat shirts in the only size they had left— Men’s XLARGE.  Of course they were huge on me so I altered them.  I slit them down the front and sewed on fun binding ribbon –then I shortened the sleeves and WAA-LAA—had 2 great casual, and very warm, toss on jacket coats, perfect for around the house or a quick run to the grocery.

The fun continues,
Barb The Shutterbug

 

 

 ...   A Groundhog Day ... and Valentines Display
Our special thanks to Xavier, who shares a photo shot of his Ty products ... this time it's a Groundhog Day and Valentines' treat.  Nice collection!

 ...   A Little Peek
Wish to see what the Li'l Ones are all about?  We're only posting a tiny peek for now.  :)

 ...   New Ty Products  *Update*
We have added another image that we have received on the "Peace" Bear Beanie Baby.  (See yesterday's news.)  Maybe another round of different tye-dye color bears?


 Doodle's note:  I have LOTS more news and photos to share, just a bit of patience please :)    Wait until you see the 'Li'l Ones' ... :D



 

 ...   Style Numbers
On Tuesday, we posted the style numbers of the Jelly Belly Hello Kitty Beanie Babies.  One of our readers, Marty, writes:

I just got my Hello Kitty Jelly Belly beanies today and I've got different numbers on mine: 40813 on the solid red bow w/ heart knot and 40814 on the bow with white hearts on it.  Thought I read differently on your daily news.  Did I miss something?

Doodle's note:   If you have recently purchased this Beanie Baby pair, drop us a note and let us know what style numbers your Beanies show. :)   Thanks!



 

 Ty -  Webkinz  -  Boyds  -  Dolls  ...  and More

 ...   Added to Ty's Current List
One of our readers, Barb The Shutterbug, writes:

... Doodle's note:  Thanks for sharing, Barb.  Hello Kitty USA was introduced by Ty on December 2nd.  Glad to see it finally made it to the list.  Walgreens Exclusive Beanies Creamy, Smoothie, and Yummy were never officially introduced.  To my knowledge, they are not to be found on Ty's website yet.  We shall see!



 

 ...   Jelly Belly Hello Kitty Beanies
One of readers shares a photo of the new Walgreens Exclusive Hello Kitty (Jelly Belly) Beanie Babies.

 ...   A Crafty Idea
To add a bit of color and news to the site, I want to share a crafty idea one of my readers has done ... a nice beach / pool "cover-up".  It's a great project idea while we're sitting inside a warm home, patiently waiting for the colder weather to subside.
... A wonderful idea, Barb ...  your crafty talents always amaze me! Thanks for sharing.

 ...   Jelly Belly Hello Kitty by Ty (Walgreens Exclusive)
Thanks to Marc, who points us to the website ihearthellokitty.com where you can view photos of Ty's newest Walgreens' Exclusive Hello Kitty Beanie Babies.  (When you click on the ihearthellokitty website, just go about halfway down the page to view the pics.)  This year Sanrio has teamed up with Walgreens with this special Hello Kitty Beanie Baby. 

 ...   Exclusives and More (Update)
As a follow-up to yesterday's post, we have received the following emails  ...

I agree about the challenge of finding Beanie Babies.  I live in Jacksonville, NC, which is in the eastern part of the state.  None of the Hallmark stores in my area carry beanies anymore.  I can usually find the Walgreens exclusive and seasonal beanies at Walgreens.  For a long time, I could find them all at Cracker Barrel, but they now seem to carry mostly seasonal ones.  Lately, the best place for me to find them has been at our Books a Million Store here in town.  I also internet shop to find the ones I miss in the stores.  Cindy W.


Hi Deb - Just checked out your site, and thought I would let you know that I have very few places in my area (Ithaca, NY, Finger Lakes region of NY state) that still carry Beanies.  The few places that have them, a few drug stores, a grocery store, seem to not have ordered any of the newest ones.  I too get most of my Beanies off Internet websites, although once in awhile I will try to find the Walgreen exclusives at a Walgreen's that is about a 30 minute drive from me.  I usually call first, to see if they have them in.  Hope you had a nice weekend !!  Mary
 

Hi Deb: Just commenting on your post about beanies....yes, you are correct......it seems as if beanies at Hallmarks are on their way out.  Many Hallmarks have discontinued ordering of beans long ago and/or order only VERY LIMITED number of them.  The prices have gone up to $7.95 on all beans (2.0 and regular lines) at many locations and the exclusives have been much harder to find this year. Walgreens and many grocery stores now carry beans priced at $4.99; why would anyone buy them at Hallmark? You can use the Gold Crown rewards certificate on Hallmark exclusives, IF, you can find them and IF there will be any more created.  
 
Dollar stores becoming so popular in this ecomony with people buying XMAS and all occasion gift wrap & cards, there is no doubt more Hallmark franchises will be closing down this year. That's all for now...Happy Belated Birthday to You!    Nancy  Canton, GA
 

We live close to columbus oh so we can still find plenty of beanies.  We used to live in VA and they were actually being easier to find in stores! more stores were carrying them...  Make sure and check your local giant stores.  They sometimes carry beanies, but they will charge 7.00 apiece.   christina

 

Doodle's added note:
... If you are having trouble locating Beanies, and do 'internet shop', I personally recommend the 'Fabric Friends and Dolls' website.  As a side note, starting tomorrow, they will be running a free shipping special in the United States/Canada for all Ty products (or Webkinz products, can mix and match) when you spend $100 in the store on those products. A lot of things are on discount. (They have even gone the extra mile in helping me locate a couple of items I haven't been able to find.)
 

 ...   Exclusives and More
From several emails I have received, it appears another Walgreens' Exclusive Beanie Baby may be available soon.  As you know, there have been no Hallmark Exclusives for some time.  Looks like those may be a thing of the past.   (My personal opinion, anyway.)  So Walgreens in, Hallmark out?  We shall see.

Beanie Babies seem to be harder and harder to find, and I do know there are quite a few new Beanies 'on the horizon'.   So where are we to find them?  I personally enjoy 'Internet shopping' ... it's easier and in many cases, a cost savings.  It's especially nice on these cold winter days, shopping in the warmth of my home!  :)

I just don't see many Ty products in my area anymore.  Wish to share your opinion?  Do you find what you're looking for in your area?  Feel free to drop me a note at news@doodlespage.com. 

 ...   Ty Store Update
Our thanks to Rosaleen, who shares the following:

 ...   No More Beanie Baby 2.0's?
We have received word from a very reliable source that Ty is merging the Beanie Babies 2.0 line with the 'regular' Beanie Babies.  I guess that isn't too surprising, with the lack of BB2.0 releases lately.  (BB2.0's first arrived in January 2008.  So, out with the old and in with the new ... the next line being the Lil' Ones.  Additional Information will be posted soon.  So stay tuned!

An added note from a reader:

Hi Deb:
Just some added info on the new Walgreens set that you have posted since December 26th -They arrived 3 weeks later at a local Walgreens here in my neighborhood.  Not many locations had them in at last check, on Friday; they may be limited in availability.  One box of 20 (for those that did get them) and the numbers are 6 each of the red and brown and 8 of the white bears.  I'm a little disappointed in this issue, as the faces are much smaller (mousey looking) in comparison to the first set, and it seems the amount of beans stuffed in these bears has been reduced also.  This is just my personal opinion.

 ...   Walgreens' Exclusive Beanie Babies - Photos and More
On December 26th, one of our readers shared news of new Walgreens Exclusive Beanie Babies that were seen in a Walgreens ad.  Several collectors have since found this cute 'trio' of Bears.  Our special thanks to Sakurako of Japan (Bottega Beanies) for sharing the photos and information below, including style numbers / birthdays / and poems.

Our thanks to Rosaleen, who writes:

 ...    Welcome ... 'Fabric Friends and Dolls'
If you are a die-hard collector, long-term or short-term ...  if you like Ty, The Boyds Collection, Webkinz, New Village Houses and Snowbabies, Dolls (Barbies, Ginny, Madame Alexander, and more) ... you need to check out the website - "Fabric Friends and Dolls.  They have a lot to choose from, and if you don't see something you're looking for, just ask.  After visiting the site and 'talking' with them, I was quite impressed, and feel the website is well worth mentioning.  There are fewer and fewer specialty stores that now offer what people have enjoyed buying and/or collecting.  Maybe they will have just what you're looking for.  They have helped me in the past; I just feel the need to return the favor.  Check them out if you get a chance.  :)

 Ty -  Webkinz  -  Boyds  -  Dolls  ...  and More

 ...   Ty Products - Update
On January 6th (see news below), Marc shared a list of Ty products "officially" retired per the Ty Retailer site.  Today he shares a few more products that have been updated on  the list.  (In addition, there's mention lately of Gus the Gecko ... retiring?, a new 'version'?  hmmmm   We shall see :)

Note:  It was mentioned that 'Gus' the gecko (with green eyes) has been redesigned with reddish-orange eyes.  This has been one of the tougher-to-find Beanies; I haven't seen one yet!  ('Gus' was introduced on June 16, 2009.)

 ...   Ty Valentine Contest
On December 27th, Ty announced a Valentine Contest "coming soon".  Today details have been posted on Ty's website.

 ...   Ty Products - Update
I know many (especially long time) collectors have been wondering (especially lately) what is going on with Ty.  The website isn't currently up-to-date, retirements are almost nil, recent releases seem a tad 'boring' to some. etc.  But from word I have been receiving, it's not over yet.  Maybe just a little lull in the air ... it is quite cold in a major part of the nation, ya know!  There is still a lot of good 'stuff' around the corner, for February and March.  Just keep an eye on the site, we'll be sharing more soon.

In the meantime, stay warm! ... Think Spring! ... and keep watching!  (The newest Beanies may just show up on Ty's site tomorrow :)


 

 ...   Ty Products - Update
Our special thanks to Marc, who shares the following:

Doodle's note: As we've mentioned before, I really wish that the Ty products lists on Ty's website was kept a bit more current.  What's an official release date or retirement date when they aren't officially announced?  It's almost impossible to catch ALL of them.  For example, there's no sign of 'Smitten' Beanie Baby anywhere on Ty's site.  And the Ty Classic 'Inaugural', the N.Y. Yankees Exclusive, is still shown as "current" on Ty's website, etc. etc.  We do try to keep up with it ... and appreciate any and all input from our readers.


 

 ...   Finally .... Well, Almost
On December 2nd, Ty introduced the following Beanie Babies ...
Beanie Babies Smitten, Lovely, and Mischief
Beanie Babies Hello Kitty, Hello Kitty - USA, and Hello Kitty - Tartan 
 

Today two of the releases have finally showed up on Ty's current list.  'Smitten' is being a bit bashful, I suppose.  The new Hello Kitty Beanie Babies are grouped with Smitten as well.  Maybe they'll appear soon, as well as the January releases!

Note:  The December and January intro's birthdays have not yet appeared on Ty's site as well.  If you know any of them, we'd love to hear from you.

 ...   Where Are They?
One of our readers, Steve from Wales, shares the following:

Doodle's note:  I thought perhaps the December releases would at least appear on Ty's current list when the January introduction appeared.  But as of yet, that hasn't happened.  And after eleven Billionaire bears, we all "expected" to hear something regarding a Billionaire 12.  But unless I missed something as well, that didn't happen either.  Mention was made several months ago from a reader, wondering if #12 was even in existence.  It seems Ty is slowly dissolving, evaporating from this "collectible hobby".  Perhaps we 'expected' a more abrupt halt than the slow dissipation of Beanies.  I suppose, as we say ... "tyme will tell" once again.

 

 ...   New January Releases
Today Ty has introduced new releases for January ... four Beanie Babies, two Key-Clips, three Basket Beanies, and a Ty Classic.

Beanie Babies
Hoppity, Hippity
Hello Kitty (Bunnies)  - one yellow & pink, one green & pink

Key-Clips
Snoopy, Woodstock

Basket Beanies
Bobsy, Hobsy, Topsy (re-release)

Ty Classic
