Well, it's that time of year again! For the past few years, the global community here at DPC has helped my wife to build this crazy collection of hers:
This has grown over the years into what is quite likely the largest collection of unique SBUX bears on the planet. They have an 8x10 of this picture hanging in the Original Pike's Place Starbucks here in Seattle :O)
Starbucks recently released it's new series of Global Destination Bears, and a number of DPC'ers have already hit me up with their search results (thanks to everyone)! They are released at different times throughout the summer, so if you don't see them... keep your eyes open! You never know when they're going to hit the stores, and they tend to go VERY quickly.
As always, if you find a bear... we'll reimburse you for the cost + shipping/handling, and anything else that will help (gas, etc). Or if you need anything from Seattle, we can certainly work out a cool trade!
Here's the list of bears that she still needs:
Argentina
Australia
Austria -  andrewt will hunt around in August
Bahamas
Bahrain
Brazil
Canada - RayEthier is on the hunt!
Chile
China
Cyprus
Denmark
Egypt
France
Germany
Greece
Hong Kong
India
Indonesia
Ireland
Japan
Jordan
Korea
Kuwait
Lebanon
Macau
Malaysia
Mexico
New Zealand -  rinac tracked him down!
Oman
Peru
Philippines
Portugal
Puerto Rico
Qatar -  shamrock's hubby will be on the hunt in October
Romania
Russia
Saudi Arabia
Singapore
Spain
Switzerland
Taiwan
Thailand
Turkey
UAE
U.K.
Vietnam
If you think you can locate one, please let me know, and I'll put your name on the list - that way we don't get multiple people looking for the same bear :O)
Thanks again to everyone for the big assist :O)
Rob (& Debby)

Well, I just got off the phone with one of the Starbucks in Ottawa, Ontario CANADA and it would seem that these little fellas are quite the hot commodity and that there is but one bear available in the whole city.
I can't do it now, but if that little fella is still available on Monday I will get it and contact you at that time.

shamrock - that would be awesome, she didn't get Qatar last year, so it's a rare one - I'll PM you before you go, and let you know if we still need them by then :O)
RayEthier - "woohooo!" <-- that's an actual quote from Debby. She didn't even have the Canada bear on her list, so she's pretty stoked about that one! |

Sent you a PM... No luck at this end so far. Unfortunately I am off to Germany on Friday, but I will get one of these elusive bears if I see one there.

Awesome... thanks guys :O)
rinac : Pretty sure Deb sent out your magnet already as well... so they're ships passing in the night!
andrewt: Super - she didn't get an Austria bear from LAST year either, so she's pretty stoked about that :O) |
