I think Build-a-bear might have seen this video, because they now coast $30-$60 depending on which one you’re getting, and that’s without the clothes and accessories. Either that or they just increased the price out of corporate greed. Or inflation. Or both. Probably both.

[@Jaxnay219]

They also charge for the box they come in now! It’s like 90 cents and they’re way smaller now too!

[@alysonwallace486]

not in the UK,it's still quite cheap here

[@galaxywas_taken]

the themed ones especially are expensive. i just went to a build a bear to look around and the isabelle plush from animal crossing is like $30 without clothes.. like what? and just writing this comment makes me realize how many mlp plushes from build-a-bear i used to have.. no wonder i stopped getting them after i had 4 😭

[@heartofthewild680]

Are they all different? Because for years I thought Twilight, Rainbow, and Fluttershy were the only MLP build-a-bears they made. Also, your parents let you have four?! I only have two MLP build-a-bears, and one of them was originally my brother’s before he gave it to me. And I remember being so disappointed when we got them because they didn’t have Applejack (I think they told me they didn’t make Applejack ones), so they only had Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash, and my brother was getting Rainbow so I had to settle for Twilight. He got his favorite pony, so it seemed unfair that I couldn’t get my favorite pony, and now if I want Applejack and Rarity plushies I’m going to have to make them myself because it’s just too expensive otherwise.

The electric one is facts when I was 10 I thought my parents were paying $2000 a month for electric 💀

[@andrewsawesome]

Leaving 3 60W equivalent LED light bulbs on for an entire month straight only costs $3.02 Now, on the other hand, if your house used incandescent light bulbs (the ones where there's a little wire inside the bulb), leaving 3 of thoses bulbs on for a month would cost $18.14 I still don't get why parents act like keeping the light on for 3 minutes is going to drain away their life savings.

"...a TV on your controller..." That sounds like a Wii U gamepad to me.

[@pacoramirez7363]

TVs actually were way more expensive back when he was a kid than they are now. Like, it used to be a nice TV would be a grand or two, and now you can get a pretty good one for a few hundred. When you take inflation into account, TV prices are like less than a quarter of what they used to be back in the 90s and 2000s.

Bro I remember when my mom would pack me lunchables. I hated them. I wanted to actually cry every time I got them and the kids screaming “luckkkkyyYyYyY” didn’t help-

For the hamster one my friend had a hamster enclosure that was 1 by 5 feet which isn’t even the best cage possible hamsters need lots of room and interaction although the hamster itself is pretty cheap..forgot to mention that hamster lived 10 years and died because her little brother fed it to their fat cat 💀
