 Hi guys! I am new here and have been a huge Teddy Ruxpin fan since I was a kid. I started out with the Playskool version which eventually broke and it wasn't until years later that I wanted to find a Teddy to replace him. Well, much to my surprise...this last year I scored at the thrift store near my home by finding an original WOW (metal cassette interior) in mint condition Teddy and Grubby. I got them both for $7!!! The Grubby was mint except for a missing battery compartment door which I found a replacement for at a recycled toys website. I later purchased the "magic cord" to connect Teddy and Grubby, while not fully knowing if Grubby would work before hand, and they both lit up and work perfectly to the "Airship". I am so happy to have these guys! Just yesterday, I was lucky enough to find an early (Alchemy II/Playskool) Teddy for $6!!! at another local thrift store in Mint condition. I just purchased a few cartridges on ebay so I will soon find out if he works as well as the others. Here's hoping! (Since he is exactly the one I had as a child). The size difference is comical! He sooo little compared to WOW Teddy. Anyways, these are my buddies and it's nice to find you all on here! Thanks you! |

Thanks for joining! Welcome!
You scored a great deal - $7 is unheard of for a non-working Teddy, let alone a combo set in perfect condition!
Very glad you came across a WoW talker - they really are the best - and our site. Look forward to seeing more posts from you.
Josh

Welcome to the board! Always nice to have a new member.
Also, where are these thrift stores?! lol! Awesome deal! Glad to see people can still enjoy Teddy. There is a very magical quality to these guys...when they light up...idk how to explain it.

Wow, what a lucky find! And welcome from me, too! Although I'm still quite new myself.  Also, I agree with vilicles - there really is something magic about them. |
