Question:
Can someone please explain to me why TY makes beanie babies in every animal species known to humankind like manta rays, anteaters, kiwi birds and even insects, but NO chinchillas????
They even have animals that don't exist anymore, like mammoths, dodo birds and dinosaurs!!! PLUS mythical creatures like flying dragons and unicorns!!!
Maybe I should write a letter...


Answer:
ok this is freaky. I was just talking to Tim about this over the Xmas break. I too think it's ridiculous and they need a chinnie!


Answer:
I am a big-time Beanie collector and I've been wondering the same thing! Good idea.. I think I'll write a letter too!


Answer:
I dont collect beanies.. but would love to have a chinchilla beanie.. if you find out an address to write to let us know..


Answer:
I sent an e-mail to infobeanie@ty.com


Answer:
Darren, funny you should bring this up. I sent a request to Ty Beanie Babies a few years ago stating they should make a chinchilla beanie baby but so far I don't see any on the shelves. Maybe if enough of us write to them, they will actually make one!


Answer:
I've always wondered the same! I'm going to e-mail them also!


Answer:
Make sure you all include pictures so they can see what they look like!


Answer:
Here is the reply I got back:
"Dear Friend:
Thank you so much for taking the time to e-mail me! I look forward to receiving mail from people all around the world...especially you!

It's great fun for us to receive such terrific e-mails. I especially like to read about your Ty collections and interesting stories that you have. If you wrote to ask a specific question about Ty, I am very sorry that I am unable to answer it in this e-mail. Because we receive so many e-mails, and I want to do my very best to respond to every letter, it makes it very hard to answer individual questions.

Since it so much fun to read about your wonderful ideas for new product, I would encourage you to post them on the "Bright Ideas" page of the TyTalk Cyberboard. That way, collectors and fans all over the world can see your ideas and talk about them, and you have the chance to look at other people's ideas, too!

Thanks again for e-mailing me, and being such a big fan of all the Ty products!

Best Regards-

Carnation
