| Oops The Bear To Join The International Wade Collectors Club Click Here |
| It's the end
of an era at the Wade factory. After three years that
accident prone but lovable bear Oops! has been retired,
probably due to ill health. First seeing the light of day as the Wade special at the Collect It! Fair, Stoneleigh on December 5th 1998, two hundred and fifty were sold. The very next day he turned up in Arundel at the C&S Christmas bonanza where another 250 were sold out in just a few hours. The original price was £15 and he now sells for around £40 The second Oops! with a distinctly sad face, bandaged left leg and being supported by a crutch, was a three hundred limited edition which sold the following year, once again at the 1999 Wade Christmas Bonanza, for £15 - he is now worth around £35 on the secondary market The third, and what has become the final Oops! was also a special event piece at last years Christmas Bonanza in Arundel at the Official Wade Collectors Centre. Selling on the day for £15 the secondary market price is already around £25. In his short life Oops has sustained but survived a number of traumas to become a much loved character. The set of three pieces are a nice size, already scarce and can only go up in value.Well done Wade! |
