Wanted to share this but thread was closed before I got a chance to.I had 5 PMs inquiries about this in the last 5 hours today. So here it goes.


If you bought it from a Dealer, contact that Dealer and get a copy of your sales order for Proof Of Purchase.If you bought it from someone else, on FleaBay from a guy who also sells Beanie Babies or from a white truck in some dark alley,sorry.


Hope this comes in handy or helpful in some ways.
