Last year’s fastest selling Christmas item wasn’t Tickle Me Elmo, Cabbage Patch Dolls, or even the oft-maligned Wii. Valve’s plush Companion Cube’s sold out in minutes, and gamers across the world let out a collected yelp. Didn’t Valve learn anything in school? If you’re not going to bring enough for everybody, then don’t bring it!

Luckily Valve heard our collective sigh and has seen fit to rectify the situation. Back in stock (for the time being, anyway) are both the plush Companion Cube and the Companion Cube fuzzy dice. They’ll each set you back $29.95, but free shipping certainly take some of that sting away. If they’re sold out by the time you read this, you can always buy a headcrab hat.
