The Official Webkinz Thread!!

[Scambone]

2nd grade eh? Ganz should start listening to him now! kids these days have such creative minds. he could make them millions.


I cheated on my pig name. I named her Miss Piggy. my friend named her frog kermit. we just couldnt come up with names for them! I think I came up with semi unique names for the rest of them

 

[GottaGetToDisney!]

Ever since the Trading Room opened I have been unable to get into a room- locked out completely! Anyone else having that experience?

Also, just out of curiousity, has any one EVER won a prize on the quick draw tickets??

Thanks,
Gotta Get To Disney!

I haven't tried the Trading Room yet but as far as the Quick Draws go, I don't know anyone who has ever won on those (and we know a lot of Webkinz owners between all my girls and myself...doesn't seem like very good odds to me so I don't bother with it anymore).

On a happier note, I won 299 on the Big Button of Kinzcash today and I got a few new exclusives for my Ancient Times/Egyptian collection this week!

I don't know anyone who has won a Quick Draw either. We don't do them either. Or the Jellybean guessing. Gotta maximize my time - time is money!

I haven't tried the Trading Room yet - I would imagine they are pretty popular and full all the time. I've just been doing my trading on Webkinz Insider. Haven't had any problems there.

I haven't even come close on the Quick Draw game, but I did win the Jelly Bean Challenge. Truly, you could have knocked me over with a feather when it popped up that my guess was correct!! I won the whole jar of jelly beans. I have to say that I was disappointed though. You cannot put it in your room or anything. When I try it says that "you may not drop food into a room. You must feed your pet. "
Really, why would I want to feed one of my pets that whole jar of 10,000 jelly beans? I would love to be able to use it as a decoration but instead it must just set in my dock. They won't even let me store it inside anything either, not even in my gold safe.
Aside from being thrilled when I won, it is pretty useless.

Lucky you!

I can see that being a cool decoration. And something to be proud of - a trophy of sorts. Just keep sending in a suggestion from the Comments section. Maybe they will take pity on all the jellybean winners.....

you call your webkinz friends at work (even though all the transferring is a pain in the butt) to tell them there's a rare item in the curio shop.

People actually do that?

(Karen? Is that you?)

So...the friend that got me into liking webkinz doesn't play with hers anymore so I took over her account. Since I cant put her panda on to my account I just have to 'american accounts' which i dont mind too much because I have the choice to have to rare items from the curio shop.

anyways that's not the important part. I got on her account today to see she had a message so i checked it and it was from the creators of webkinz and they gave her a wish token because it was her birthday. I was thinking it was the pandas birthday but her birthday isnt until october. then it dawned on me i didn't check her account yesterday because i was to busy celebrating my friends (owner of the wbkz) birthday!


so my question to you is, on your birthday does Ganz send you a wish token or is this some rare event?

 

[Fire14]

Has anyone been able to play bingo lately? If so can you tell me how to get there.

I just checked and it seems to be working. Go to the news paper or the main page in WW and hit the bingo banner in the top right corner.

 

[Fire14]

ok i think i'm in to bingo again yaaa

 

[Scambone]

I'm excited about the new webbies! I totally want the skunk...and the deer...and the goldfish...and the....who am I kidding? I want them all!

Congrats on the new account. And yes, on the birthday of the person who registered the account a Wish Token is sent.

There needs to be a couple more ways to get Wish Tokens. I'm stuck on 8. And my birthday isn't for another year.

 

[Fire14]

I got some wish tokens with my webkinz care tag code that I bought at walgreens. I only need 1 more token!!!!!!!!! If nothing else I should get that with July pet of month.

I'm pretty sure this had been asked here before. I tried to search, but it didn't work and I didn't really want to go back and read every post on this thread!

Ever since we've been back from vacation, I haven't been able to log on to webkinz. I can from my laptop, but not from our desktop computer. Any suggestions?? I've deleted temporary internet files and cookies, but that didn't help. I'm afraid all of our webkinz are starving! I don't let the kids play on my laptop much so I'd really like to get this fixed!

I'm not much of a computer geek (that's DH) but I believe cookies are different than cache, and it's the cache you have to clear.

Here's a link to some info:

Hope it helps!

my DD is not happy (she wrote them a comment today!!!!).

I told her that if this continues, we might have to back off the Webkinz. The one thing I liked is that they did not go the way of beanies and make some exclusive or hard to get (which just encourages adults/Ebayers to buy them up and keep them out of the hands of the kids!). I don't think I like where this is going........

 

[Terry36]

which ones are retiring?
