Re: A bear for RedvKathy
 

Aww... UPS shipping to my university is more than twice what the bear costs. :/

Ages and ages away. Not till October.

Don't mind being supplied with furry bears for valentines though!!!

Ouch! Can't you find a local supplier?

Re: A bear for RedvKathy
 

Why don't you make your own?

It will be a lot more fun!

A sh**load of gummie bears, a large pot and a cake mould is all you need?

I imagine alcohol would be highly recommended!

In fact try this!

Re: A bear for RedvKathy
 

I'm pretty sure this beast is one of those "we can only sell it because of the Internet" items, and so I highly doubt there are any suppliers, local or otherwise. For that matter, while it is indeed awesome, it also makes me feel vaguely nauseous. :P
In any case, anywhere you see the words "UPS" and "Canada", you can generally give up on the idea of buying food for the next week. I think there was somewhere else on the forum way back where I was complaining about them ransoming my RMA'd N810 for $60... that ended up being resolved by Nokia's generosity, not UPS.
On the other hand, their slow shipping doesn't look too bad, and I think I saw some things on that site that ThinkGeek also sells (with no cheap shipping option), so it may be worth a look for other items.

Re: A bear for RedvKathy
 

I did a bit of a search and found several places selling it, if you really wanted one. I also found a site that suggested making your own by melting down little gummi bears and putting them in a big bear.

Have to say my preference is for bears you can hug without getting sticky.
