Sarah's Bears Boyds Authorized Platinum Dealer Boyds News last update: 10/28/04   October 28, 2004 We have just begun adding the new Spring line to our site. We will have most of it online over the weekend. Feel free to email me with any questions or just to chat about the bears! Parker T. Hugsley is my favorite!! Also, we have one FREE 16" Anastasia with ZaZa international exclusive (yes, the one that goes for $100 and up on eBay) for the FIRST person to order AND prepay for a $450 Spring 2005 order. This offer is obviously instead of Bear Bucks, not in addition to them. Also, $50 Sping 2005 preorders have free shipping AND receive a FREE Spring 2005 Chronicle. We also have our usual 40% off one Fall 2004 item with a $50 Spring 2005 order. And something new... The "Add-A-Stand" offer is simple. You can add a Boyds stand for 1/2 off to ANY dressed bear purchase. The stand will be the size to fit the bear. 6"-8" bears = $1 stand ($2 value) and 10"-14" bears = $1.25 stand ($2.50 value). Most dressed16" bears still receive a 7" Boyds dollstand for free. THIS OFFER BEGINS WITH THE SPRING 2005 LINE. ----------------- August 23, 2004 Sadly, the new Boyds Halloween peekers (Devin, Bruce, Ghoulia) have already RETIRED. We have one last shipment of them arriving in October. Appleton bears are sold out at Boyds until October, but we have them all in stock. Please reserver your Wizard of Oz boxed sets as soon as possible! The large set in particular is going to be difficult to keep in stock. Lastly, the Boyds veggie collection must be retiring. POLLY PEAPOD is already retired. --------------- July 16, 2004 The first shipment that Boyds will receive in late September/ early October of the Heart-to-Heart Friends is already sold out at Boyds (that was fast!)! I have several sets still available to preorder from that shipment. There will be more later in October. If they keep selling this fast, I would recommend ordering your any bears for Dec. gift-giving as soon as possible! For those that were wondering, the Americana bear, Ashley, does have white stars in the pattern of her dress AND the rosette on her hat. Please order this one early! ----------------- July 13, 2004 Boyds announces 2 new lines: Bears in the Garden: Gift line of bear pottery (due in August) Heart-to-Heart Friends: Affordable 13" dressed friend bears (due in late September) ------------------- July 12, 2004 For those that love the Civil War bears, Boyds is making a set of girl Civil War bears to go with the soldiers. They are due to be delivered at Gettysburg this Fall. -------------------- July 12, 2004 Boyds has announced that the 4th Boyds Bear Country tourist barn will be in Branson, MS. The original is in Gettysburg, the second in Pigeon Forge (opening Fall 2004), the 3rd in Myrtle Beach. -------------------- July 10, 2004 The next Boyds plush Tracker is expected to be TWICE as long as the first book. Many corrections have been made. It is expected to be published late Fall 2004. Many thanks to Beth Phillips for her careful and hard work on this edition! --------------------- July 2, 2004 Boyds has retired the Americana bear, James Jodibear. We are sold out. -------------------- July 1, 2004 The Boyds 25th Anniversary resin piece "Bears & Buddies" is sold out at Boyds (RETIRED), but we do have them in stock now. -------------------- June 30, 2004 The Boyds pig, Sue Appleton, was initially made with one wired arm so that she could hold a basket of apples (or hug a small pig). This extra feature was not part of the final design, but the first shipment to arrive at Boyds had the wired arm. Future shipments of Sue will be a variation WITHOUT the wired arm. -------------------- May 1, 2004 Boyds announces new Sterling Silver bear and dog charms!
