BeanieNews Editor Comment:
Hi,
I know you are not whining, just trying to get your just due, that is, the ONE free and EARNED MC II Anniversary Bear AND the ONE PAID for Babe-e. It should not be so confusing. You should not have to sell one to get the other either. Each of these are likely to be limited in supply and every collector just like you would like to have at least one of each.
Those of you who have ridiculed this Ty member labeling and calling names are the actual whiners because in the same situation you would want to receive the two Ty Beanies as well, without having to resort to sale and trade after earning and paying for the right to own them already.
Try being supportive! It could be you next time.

This weeks Ask Ty!
Question: Why did you put beans in the animals? How come not regular stuffing?
(sargelover)
Answer: Regular stuffing just didn't have the right feel. I wanted Beanies to comfortably sit in the palm of a child's hand or on their lap. And . . . . without beans in Beanies what would I have named them?

Jeff Vorva, Staff writer for The Daily Souththtown of Cook County in Tinley Park, IL has reported an upcoming Beanie Baby who will be named Baker after Chicago Cubs manager, Dusty Baker.
Dusty Baker will make toy history next year when he will have a Beanie Baby made (with a Cubs logo on it) in his honor.
In the past, Beanie Babies have been named for Cubs players, including Sammy Sosa and Mark Grace, but none had the team logo.
"When Dusty heard about that, he said, 'I must have really arrived,' " Cubs vice president of marketing and broadcasting John McDonough said.

The Tystore curtains have changed today. The half drawn shade is down and the parted curtains have been closed.
Earlier this week, the BBOC Store sent out a letter asking if there were any concerns about the prices charged in orders made on the Ty BBOC Web Site. On September 16th, the three items for sale on the BBOC site were listed with their prices on the order page. The $10.00 five pin sets were listed for only $3.00 each. However, once you clicked throuh to the final order page, the right price of $10.00 per set would be final.

Collector pins. Four pins in each set will be the same. In each set

collectors is a part of the new B.B.O.C. site.

A good friend asked me to keep this fire lit...

I asked God for water, he gave me an ocean.
I asked God for a flower, he gave me a garden.
I asked God for a tree, he gave me a forest.
I asked God for a friend, he gave me YOU.

This candle was lit on the 11th of September, 2001.

Yankees Beanie Bopper Fastball Freddie was introduced and retired on Saturday, September 7th. Several additional Beanie Babies and Buddies were also retired.
Pin-demonium will be starting on September 16th, 2002. You will be able to purchase Clubby V Beanie and Clubby V Buddy as well as a set of 5 Ty Collector pins. Four pins in each set will be the same. In each set however, the fifth pin will be a surprise, one of a number of additional pins of the first beanie babies ever introduced. A trading site for pin collectors is a part of the new
B.B.O.C. site.
America Buddy is arriving in all 3 colors. A red America Buddy with a
white ear and a blue ear was found that looked similar to the TysStore
Beanie Baby according to one report. Someone has also spotted the red
with reversed ears America Buddy as well as reversed ears white America Beanie Buddy.
Color Me Beanie comes in six versions of the same bear with six
different ribbon colors tied around the neck each matching one of the
pen colors. ( pink, orange, yellow, light blue, green and red ).
Be careful of the markers though, the ink can get onto your
hands and the colors also may bleed. Visitors can upload their Color Me
Beanie to the Ty website to be judged.
Frankenteddy was reported to have seven versions previously, however the
word now is that there are six versions of Frankenteddy. The colors of
Frankenteddys feet vary.
Two new beanie bopper girls Lucky Lucy and Precious Pammy were
introduced and have arrived in stores along with the new beanie babies.
Randy and Theresa at http://www.randyandtheresa.com/2Boppers.html have
discovered that Lucky Lucy has an American Flag on her jacket, a red,
white and blue ribbon on her hat and a twin sister!
The TyStore door continues to change its window from open to
closed. One person seems to think that Rescue and Courage are there in new
versions. With the September 11th Rememberance coming up soon, it
seems to be a good guess. That would explain the long wait. A Charity
Bear would be appropriate at this time.

In "Ask Ty", Ty Warner was asked by whitetiger33 which beanie best repesented him, it seems that at one time or another, they all do...
Q: What Beanie do you feel most represents you?
A: I would say there are quite a few Beanies that I could compare myself with. Some days I'm like Squealer or Speedy or Pellet. Other days Strut, Fuzz or Beginning Bear come to mind. I probably have something in common with all my Beanies.

Ted-e has been retired!!!Go to the TyStore.
To e beanie or not to e beanie. It's like lotto, somewhat of a gamble. YOUR ORDER IS CONFIRMED... The Ty page if you have noticed, scrolls down a little more than it used to. There is a new Pricing Philosophy and Shipping Policy posted.
According to the shipping policy, only the most supportive accounts will be first to receive ordered TyStore merchandise. That means orders are not shipped on a first come first serve basis. Does it also mean that people who abuse the flaw in the link that allows you to order a limited number of 4 per sale again and again and who as a result order limited beanies by the gross are "more supportive"?
Here is the closest thing to an update on the BBOC, a letter from Clubby IV:

The club store is about to reopen and the key is in your Clubby IV kit! Clubby IV is the new spokesperson for the BBOC. Go to http://www.beaniebabiesofficialclub.com/new_bboc_registration to register! The welcome page which appeared then dissappeared today said:
"Greetings from "The Club!"
If you're a free (oops! a typo must have been a former...) BBOC member, welcome back! " The page goes on to say that you can find the membership kit at a retailer, and be able to take advantage of all the club has to offer. There is mention of a way to get a free beanie baby. Most likely it's the MC Bear.
The magazine, "Mary Beth's Beanies and More" whose subscription is now available in the Tystore July/August 2002 Issue has been arriving in mailboxes since the end of last week. The secondary market issues sold on ebay arrived about two weeks before the Tystore deliveries.
