THERE are crazy scenes at Build a Bear stores across south Essex .
A promotional event is taking place today where children can "pay their age" for a soft toy.
People have flocked to the stores in Basildon and Thurrock in their hundreds, with people queuing out the doors.
Been queueing for around 3hrs so we can build a bear for £1 for Reggie as he is under 1. God this is tiring and secondly he’s 5months old he ain’t going to remember this. All this for a bear 🤣🤣🤣 I hate my GF right now #buildabear #lakeside #intu #bear #thingsyoudo #savingmoney pic.twitter.com/mlrc8G4Vb4

A mum in the queue said in Basildon: "We have been here four hours.
"They were queuing out of the centre earlier. I’ve heard that they will run out of bears soon."
