BTW - the rainbow bear is just the virtual item - don't want anyone to end up at Walgreens looking for one!

Can you buy this at the estore? I'm looking, but not finding.

No, the rainbow colored bear is available from the W Care pets.

*sighs* i cant believe they are retiring two new webkinz that hasnt even been out yet. *sighs*

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........

I'm thinking that sales aren't so good. They are coming out with 5 new plushes a month - that's too many. So if they retire some of them, it makes people want to buy them.

And there are about eleven more new ones in the works... they have to cut back. As much as I like the plush, I don't want Webkinz to crash and burn.

 

[Scambone]

you think with people like us who have 20+ they wouldn't crash and burn for not making enough money!

fye has some one sale for 10 bucks but they are always empty!

That stinks. My DD just saw the toucan today in an ad and she really wants it. I wonder why they would retire something before it even is released?

We are addicted to webkinz at our house as well. Those arcade games are just so addicting. I sometimes play Tile Towers until my hand cramps.

I have a question for you diznygirl. How do you make more than one house and connect them with a yard? My youngest has about 14 and now he just keeps having to shove them into another one of his webkinz's room. He would love to have more rooms but I can't figure out how without opening up another account. He doesn't want to open up a new account because he wants the exclusive items. Is there something that I am missing?

Thanks!

You can buy more rooms. Is that what you're wanting to do? go to My Room..
Then click on Map, then Buy. You can buy as many rooms as you can afford, and pick where they go.

Cool, thanks! They're building a Walgreen's here, hopefully it'll be finished before the lamb is released; DD and I both want that one.

Yeah, what she said.

I just buy some yards first, then the rooms on the other side of the yards.

I'm OCD about my rooms. I'm working on Posh (white poodle) and Becks (german shephard) house right now.

diznygrl, I would love to see some screen shots of your rooms! Mine aren't very exciting, but I"d be glad to share pics, too. I just heard about those retiring Webkinz and I am bummed! I wanted the Cocker Sapniel! I'm going to have to check my local Webkinz stores and see if I can find any of those retired ones. Which two were never released?

You'll still be able to buy the ones that have been retired - they just won't make any more.
And I'm sure this is what they want you to do - stop waiting and start buying!


I'd love to show off my rooms! I've been working so hard on them.

Here's their bedroom and their bathroom - I figure everything Posh and Becks do is over the top:

 

[labdogs42]

WOW -- those rooms are AMAZING!! They look huge, too. Why are my rooms so small? My rooms never quite turn out the way I picture them. Things don't seem to want to go where I think they should, especially windows and pictures for the walls, they always end up to high or off center or something, the room never seems big enough, etc. I need to make an awesome room like you have!! I'm totally inspired to try and get a cool room going now. Thanks for sharing!

There are small, medium and large rooms. When you adopt a pet you get a medium room (up to 10, then you have to buy rooms).

These are the large rooms. They are a bear to decorate since they are huge! Stick a bed in and you've still got lots and lots of empty space. But Posh and Becks have the money. Actually, some of this stuff I had been collecting on another account and was just sitting in storage. And I've been playing zingoz pop a lot.

Oh, that's why they are so big! I guess I only have the medium rooms so far. I have lots of gardens, but I haven't bought any indoor rooms. I'll have to get one of those big ones.

I did my spins. I wound up with a cerulean stove and a wall ribbon. Not a good wheel day for me!

So, how do you collect stuff on another account and move it to this one? Do you just KinzPost it? I'm wondering because right now, I have 4 Webkinz of my own and when DS gets a little bigger, I'm sure he will want his own account. I don't want to hand over my account, but I'd like to be able to give him a bunch of my "stuff". What do you suggest?

Yup, Kinzpost is my friend.
You can only send three items per day so it takes awhile. My kids each have an account, so I'll kinzpost to them, and have them kinzpost to this account.... sometimes I get so confused I forget where I sent things! But I'm having fun. I could be working on the real house.

 

[labdogs42]

Has anyone checked out the Webkinz e-store? I checked it out, but I can't see paying money for virtual Webkinz stuff. Do you think there is anything there worth buying?

I just received my first Webkinz today!! I registered and everything, but the site is down until 4 pm today (of course, the one day that I buy one!)

Anywho...I got a Rhino and named it Kifaru (Swahili for Rhino). My user name is the same there as it is here if anyone wants to add me! I know nothing about the site so far, but I'll catch on soon enough!!

 

[Mean Queen]

I got the Toucan (well, DD did.) She said I can register it since she doesn't play anymore. I actually haven't played in a while either. But that didn't stop me from buying the Clydesdale, next months Pet of the Month.
