Animal Crossing Build-A-Bear will go on sale this morning, it could be a clusterfluff [Update]

The long-awaited Build-A-Bear officer line Animal Crossing: New Horizons the stuffed animals go on sale this morning at 11 a.m. in the East. To cater to what is sure to be a massive demand, Build-A-Bear has set up a virtual queue so customers can come together to wait for their chance to buy items that haven’t even been revealed. Nothing can go wrong with this plan. Update: It’s just Tom Nook and Isabelle. Boo.

This is how the Build-A-Bear virtual waiting room works. Guests can start queuing at 10:30 a.m. Build-A-Bear website. In the queue, they will be assigned a place at random. Once a customer’s turn comes, they will have a limited time to buy items at Animal Crossing: New Horizons collection. Once purchased, customers can go to eBay for free and sell everything they just bought for at least twice the price.

There are some issues with this system. On the one hand, as we have seen with sales of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X / S since the new consoles launched in November, robots and climbers love automated queuing systems, regularly dominating sales of difficult items. to find.

Second, Build-A-Bear doesn’t even reveal characters and objects until 10:30 a.m. East. All the fans know they might be getting ready to queue Barold the bearded neck bear or Candi, the mouse whose eyes look like boils and the eyebrows look like eyes. I’m sure they’ll have Isabelle or whatever (we’ll update once the collection is revealed), but what if?

If you really like it Animal Crossing: New Horizons and you want something to hug you, your best option, apart from making very good friends with my partner, is to wait until the summer, when the Build-A-Bear collection arrives in stores. You’ll be more likely to get what you want, and you’ll also be able to see someone with a Build-A-Bear polo filling it with skin. It’s the miracle of life and then you can go to the food area for some pretzel dogs. Everyone wins.

Update at 10:30 a.m.: It’s just Isabelle and Tom Nook. Why keep it a secret if only the two are the most obvious? Who knows.
