After a huge success last year, Hecuba, Tony, Jeremy and Meditation Gnomes will be back on shelves.

With two new additions — Bluey Groom Garden Gnome and Bluey Bride Garden Gnome.

In the children’s TV show, Hammerbarn is the cartoon’s version of Bunnings.

In the episode called Hammerbarn, the Heeler family head out on a classic weekend mission — a trip to their local hardware store.

Earlier this year, seven Bunnings Warehouse stores transformed into real-life Hammerbarns for a special installation.

As part of the transformation, the DIY and hardware store held meet and greets with Bluey and Bingo, and children’s workshops.

After the gnomes flew off the shelves, Bunnings is now bringing the boys back — but they are only available for purchase in-store.

When the first batch of gnomes went on sale, listings selling Bluey products from Bunnings emerged on sites including Facebook Marketplace and eBay — advertised for hundreds of dollars more than the original price.

“The popularity of our Bluey product range has exceeded our expectations, and we’re sorry to hear some customers have missed out on buying a garden gnome,” the retailer’s merchandise director Jen Tucker told www.20304050.best at the time.

“We’re incredibly disappointed to see a small number of people re-selling Bluey products online at inflated prices, and we don’t support this behaviour in any way.”

The garden gnomes sold for $19 each in store. But were being resold for between $100 and $200 each in some listings seen by www.20304050.best.

One eBay listing had a registered bid for four gnomes and other Bluey-related items for $9999.
