Forget the snaking queues and long wait that spoilt last years Build-A-Bear offer because this time there's no need to get in a line to snap up a teddy bear for the price of your child's age.
The offer means that instead of paying the usual £25 or so for a character, a three-year-old for example would pay £3, with the minimum £1 charge for under ones let your child pay their age for a teddy.
Last year families queued in their thousands to make the most of the chance to get the heavily discounted bear from the popular store, which has branches in the Trafford Centre, Manchester Arndale and The Rock in Bury.
Some stores were forced to close the lines early amid safety concerns over growing crowds, MEN reports.
Now the offer is back later this month, but the retailer is taking a different approach to avoid the chaos of last summer.
Instead families are being asked to register online here between now and June 16.
Around 200,000 people worldwide will then be invited to dedicated Pay Your Age slots between June 24 and 28.
A maximum of two children can get a bear with each ticket, but both children must be present on the day to make it.
Almost the entire collection of furry friends is up for grabs, including Trolls, Hello Kitty, Star Wars and any of Build-A-Bear's own collection. The only ones excluded from the offer are How To Train Your Dragon and Pokémon.
Every person who registers will get a money off coupon and also be entered into a sweepstake to win a birthday party experience.
