I liked the Flumps too but not wanting these bears which is good as I shouldn't be buying more anyway!

Grandpa Flump and his Flumpet!! I think they're very cute. Won't be able to bring myself to watch though - not without a bucket handy.

 

[rainbowdottie]

No I don't like the guests.I really must not watch this tomorrow.In reality what am I going to do with a £50 bear??? (particularly as I have just spent £22 in the body shop online sale!!) it will just be a dust collector in a room but I really do like them

CLEVER CLEVER CLEVER marketing ploy ! very few customers are going to buy just the one - cant have one without the other. Plus the bench - nearly
£150 in total !!! multiply by 2000 (limited edition) - oooooooh telephone numbers profits !!!!

Grab 'em while you can, because before long, no-one will be able to stereo type grandma and granddad looking like that, - it will be a pilates outfit and golfing sweater !!!!!

Oh dear, another QVC day to avoid. Each to their own, but personally I just don't understand the attraction. The presenters I find so annoying for one thing. She is pleasant enough, but needs a good slap and to grow up. But him! Built like an irish navvy and talking baby talk - lickle wappbit I heard early this morning.

Also turning the bear's heads and making them wave so that they appear human is horrible to me. In general I don't like the humanising of any animal I find it all a bit creepy - the Cocoa cola Christmas polar bears for instance.

The range seems nice enough for children, but I just don't understand adults collecting teddy bears or soft toys. But as I said before - each to their own.

I don't like them as much as I thought I would.I'd be tempted my grandpa if I ever saw him on OTO or some real spectacular deal.I agree that they're hoping so many people will buy these as a pair.

 

[Kathy]

My money is quite safe today, not that I don't like the bears ...I just can't watch the guests, imo their selling spiel is sick inducing...

 

[boffy]

I like them but wont be buying them

 

[Autumn]

Smarmy Brooks was the worst last nite , saying there were all shaking with excitement. Each to there own but I cant believe people would spend almost £50 on a bear and of course there encouraging everyone to buy both, words fail me sometimes :wonder:

 

[Weathergirl]

And dont forget £66 for the bench plus p &p of course.

:mysmilie_11: :mysmilie_1:

 

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

that bench has an RRP of £59.99 so with QVC extra £6 on that and the £6 on postage roughly its £11.95 over priced

 

[Autumn]

You could buy a full size bench for your garden for less than £60 :wonder:

 

[boffy]

£18 postage cost for the bears and bench..oh well did not sell. maybe the bear shows will be no more..

 

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

they are scheduled for quite a few more shows yet and i hope they dont go as i like them

 

[rainbowdottie]

Did they not go down too well then?! I saw they were pulled from the early evening shows.....even with charlie brooks trying to dress *grandma* in a variety of ways......"you don't have to keep her shawl on.....you can change her headscarf" and put a turban on her.All smacks of the viewers didn't like the image!

A black bin bag over her head would have looked better IMO :thinking:
