Metalsgdl Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Hello! I was browsing the Klei store for merch, as I’m a complete nerd, and I noticed that the Chester Plush has been out of stock for some time. Naturally, when I saw this I turned to that dark corner of the internet that we all turn to buy stuff that’s out of stock. (eBay) I found several listings for a Chester Plush. However, upon closer inspection, I found that the descriptions for these items are... well, they’re a little off-putting. One description literally praises the majesty and beauty of China. The others contain so many misspellings that anyone who has been around the internet for more than a day would think twice about purchasing them. What are the chances that some of the out of stock plushies will return? Trying to get an idea of what’s to come before Christmas gets here. Thanks for all you guys and gals over at Klei do. You have a fan for a life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaZoul Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Oh, almost hopeless, it's been out of stock for so long it's literally become a meme at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terra B Welch Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Honestly I wanted a depth dweller plush, but then I saw they were out of stock. Makes me so sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaZoul Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 If I could choose a mob to be a plush, I couldn't. I really can't choose between Slurper and Dust Moth they are both too cute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Safety Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Even if Klei planned on restocking them, it would be tough with covid-19. I'm gonna guess that they will restock/make more merchandise at some point, but that won't be until things go back to normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunk Mujunk Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Just before covid hit they were talking about restocking the black spiders, with improved speaker boxes for the sound effects. But world events either delayed or derailed their plans. I've heard nothing on the topic since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADM Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I want them all, all of them, I'm asking for restock dates every 3 months or so on a topic and we still have no details. I understand that it might be complicated to get a production line and shipping thing, I don't know much about it but I have money to spend on that kind of stuff, Klei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeW Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 There are a few issues. First our high quality demands make things difficult. Making sure all the proper materials are available at the right quantities at the right time is a bit of a challenge on its own. On top of that, we are also no longer manufacturing through our original source. Chester was really our first foray into real merch and a lot has changed since then. In addition we also have the global pandemic and a lot of other things going on that make it rather difficult. We're also not a merch business and we don't have a huge demand for anything we make. So when we do, we have to do them in batches that sit in a warehouse until they sell out. We don't make much money from merch because our quality demands are so high we maintain pretty thin margins to try to keep prices as reasonable as we can given the circumstances. But we are very aware that people would like us to restock and we're working on it. But I wouldn't expect anything to change much any time soon.

If the depth dweller plush ever got restocked I would love to purchase one! I'm sure my glommer, calico chester and crabbit would love another friend. >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minitte Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Maybe it's time to learn how to make my own plush by hand. Seems hard though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceTime Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I don't know what the price of Chester Plush is in your country. But our price is 151.1487 US dollars.Import and export taxes and commissions charged by agents make the price exaggerated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BezKa Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I've been saving my money for a while. As soon as things get restocked I'm getting one of everything. When I become a fan, I become a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryvrdrgn14 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Perhaps Klei would benefit from doing pre-orders for the merch so they know how much to make that will 100% sell right away and then get a little extra to lower the cost and put at the store. It'd be like how they sell stuff on Kickstarter where a minimum quota is needed to be reached to sell the product. if the messaging is clear then the customers should understand. Of course account for the percentage of lost orders and stuff and split the price on top of the cost of each item as well. Standard stuff. Oh, also add a code for something like a skin with each item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
