By the way, for those that don’t know and may be wondering, a mustelidae is a ferret or a polecat! Why Ty couldn’t have just called it that I don’t know.

Although Lefty, Righty and U.S.A. bear are supposed to be U.S.A. exclusives, I have noticed that they seem to be fairly widely available around here – at very varying prices too. Sometimes it is difficult to know whether to buy or not, if you wait a while quite often the prices drop, however there is always the possibility that if you wait you miss out. When I first saw the three U.S.A. exclusive Beanies they were £19.95 each – a week later they had come down by £5 each. Likewise, a few weeks ago I saw Ariel Bear priced at £17.95, and yet last week I saw it for £7.95 – a fairly vast difference!

“Ideal Home”, a channel on Sky Digital satellite has a Beanie collectors program every Thursday evening 10pm to 12 midnight, and some of the prices on there never cease to amaze me! Lefty and Righty 2000 were £49.95 each! They also had Sakura, the Japanese exclusive bear for £170. One lady phoned in to say that she hadn’t been able to find it for less than £300. Well, I saw it for £90, and thought that was too expensive, and so that’s one I haven’t got yet!
