Advantages: Beanie Facts

Disadvantages: Mostly Usa based

Ty.com (tytrade.com) is a bright and colorful website for world wide ty beanie collectors. Ty is the company who make the beanies and are found world wide, your talking about thousands of different types. I myself am a colletor of beanies along with my son, so we use ty.com alot to enhance our hobby.

Ty are makers of the following types of beanie:
Ty beanie Babies
Ty buddies (Larger versions on ty beanies)
Pinkys
Pluffies
Classic beanies
Bow wow beanies (New)
Baby Beanies
Ty beanie boppers
Ty beanie Kids
Attic treasures
Teenie beanie boppers
jingle beanies

As you can see Ty have produced many different types of beanies but we only collect the ty beanie babies (This is enough to cope with), I myself have 87 beanies bears and my son has 64 of the ty beanie animals. Ty bring out loads of them in a year and it can be very hard to keep up with the amount the produce. Some beanies are easier to get than others, they also have there exclusive beanies too which are quit pricey. I have several rare as well as common beanies. All the beanies have different characters and come with a tag (Do not remove these as they hold the value of the beanie). I only buy if i like the character or animal, i just could not afford to buy them all. I have found collectors in the world who have floor to ceiling selves of beanies, its a sight to see i can tell you.

Anyway the website is for the beanie collectors and has many pages for you to visit these include:

My Talk - Here you will find 4 different types of message boards, so you can discuss your hobby with many all over the world. The message board is very simple to use. I use this board alot and have made several beanie buddies along the way.

Mytyfolio - This is your personal area where you can list all the beanies you have. You can also add a list of beanies you wish for. You can share this with family and friends.

Whats New? - This page gives you up to date information of what beanies are new and where to get them from.

Beanie Greetings - Send your buddy a ty beanie beanie greetings card.

Beanie board of Trade - Here you can trade your beanies with other collectors from around the world, you will find mostly USA members here but they will trade with us in the uk.

Ty search - Looking for info on a certain beanie? Adds its info here and it will find it for you.

Ask ty - Do you have a question you would like to ask TY? if so you can add a question here, this may or may not get answered, we have posted about 6 questions and only got one reply, so don't rely on this too much.

Free ty beanie baby - Ignore this, you get this beanie free if you apply and get a credit card and this is for usa members only.

Ty store- Here you can buy your beanies but they are in USA dollars only. They will ship worldwide but this can get quit expensive, i will buy instead from a local dealer.

Info beanie- This is a diary of one of the beanies, my son loves reading this but personally i don't go here.

Fun-o-rama - Here you will find beanie related games, puzzles etc. to play. Another place my son likes to visit.

Retailer locator - This is for USA and Canada members only, they need to add a uk store locator.

Now that's what ty.com has to offer, i love this site being a huge beanie fan but wish they would include more for worldwide members considering beanies are sold worldwide.

So if your a beanie collectors this is a must to join as you can get up to date news and information about every beanie that ty ever produced.
