In 2003 on the day of their Annual Christmas Parade Harrods introduced an Exclusive Ty Classic - Stardust. The first 500 bears sold that day came with special numbered certificates signed by Patricia Roche!

In 2004 UK BBOC members received invitations to another special launch at Harrods. This time there were two Beanies! Read all about the 2004 event here. Starlight the Bear was available in either Black or White and the first 500 of each colour were sold in Ty plastic boxes with a numbered certificate. The certificates are signed by Patricia Roche. The white bear is much rarer than the black bear and was available for sale in much more limited quantities (1 white was allowed per customer and 10 black!)

2005 saw another invitation to a Harrods event - read about the 2005 even here. This year there were again two Beanies, joined by a Classic and some Beanies previously only available at the Ty Store! Shooting Star was available in grey or white and once again the first 500 of each colour were sold in Ty plastic boxes with a numbered certificates. This time the signatrue of Ty Warner was printed on the certificate. The grey bear was available in more limited quantities this time.

The invitation for the 2006 event arrived through my letter-box last week... Tyme will tell what we're going to be getting this year.
