FYI: here's a picture of Ty Warner (maker of the famed Beanie Babies) with Nancy Reagan at the debut of the Ronnie Beanie.

I haven't found any in San Diego either.

Unlike you I didn't drive to 2 stores, I called 3 stores before I reached an English speaking clerk!

The clerk in the first store spoke such a slaughtered Asain-English that she was impossible to understand.

The second store spoke a likewise slaughted English but this time heavily accented in Arabic, again impossible to understand because he could not understand ME.

The third store? Well, it beats me --- I'm cannot even venture a guess at the origin of his language!

The fourth store "had no idea" --- hadn't heard about the RWR Beanie-Baby!

Diversity and immigration are alive and running rampant in San Diego. Odd that I didn't come across a Spanish-speaking clerk. At least I could have somewhat conversed with him/her!

Please let me know in a FReep maill if you're successful, and hopefully you'll find one at a store with an outlet in San Diego, like Toys-R-Us, so I can hurry to my outlet to buy some! I really want at least four of them!

WOW, I'm glad I stumbled onto this link. My daughter was just the right age to drag us both through "Beanie-mania" a few years ago. She's got dozens! Maybe scores! I'd started to feel kinda silly about it all, but it's great to see that TY supports truly worthy causes, and not LEFT WING PSYCHO ones. Now I feel better about the whole thing.

I will definately buy this beanie, if I can find it.

This has really brightened my day, my week, my month.

Thank you very much for posting this!

Hope you get to find one! I finally found one in a toy store here in Phoenix on Friday. Ty did a really nice job with "Ronnie" - he really looks like a sailor bear. I have mine sitting next to a couple of TY's eagles - and a few of the USO soldier bears are near by as well!
