Where are all the Webkinz???

[dvcfamily41801]

I went to 7 stores today and every one had signs that they were sold out of Webkinz. I overheard my DS say this past week he would like the Tree Frog from the Easter Bunny in his basket. The Easter Bunny already picked up the Koala Bear for his basket a few weeks ago so I thought maybe he could exchange it but no luck. So is the Easter Bunny bringing any to your house and which ones?

I'm a hoarder (is that a word). DD has 5 now I believe, maybe 6. Have given nephews 4 so far. Gave DSis 3 for the nephews for their easter baskets, gave her white bunny, dalmatian and polar bear.

Have Sherbet for DDs basket and still have 6 more in the closet. I am still trying to figure out what day they come in to local store......no I cannot buy any more, must stop self from buying them.

Easter Bunny is bringing Sherbet and the lil Kinz white rabbit. I got lucky back in February with an online store. It seems everyone else has found them now and I can't get a single one from them now! Oh well.

Oh BTW, I think my DSis has bought out the Webkinz supply in the Princeton area. She's found this store and I swear she is their best customer.

there are none around here
one place already ordered for halloween and xmas
I was like WOW

DD11 is getting Sherbert Bunny (thanks to the lady who didn't come in to pick hers up for over 3 wks )
She is also getting the Bulldog.
DD Best friend gave her a panda as an Easter gift.
I have pink poodle and cocker spaniel in the closet for emergencies.
We keep our local webkinz supplier in business. DD loves them as well as her best friend.

They should start being more available soon, there was a railway strike someplace and it kept the webkinz form being shipped...but that was supposed to have ended last week. I got 4 for my daughters basket but that was ordering them from some stationary store in Mo. I managed to get the koala, sherbert bunny, dalmation and a cat she wanted. I preordered the halloween one and the reindeer one already too from the same place. It was a heck of a lot cheaper than getting them on ebay! She has about 24 now I think, her online house is VERY crowded, she has a fmaily room with just chairs al over the place that they all sit in, one of the poor things has been sitting in the same seat since Jan LOL!!!

My MIL bought out the Ft. Lauderdale area! She showed up here w/8. Which means she bought 12 (4 for each grandkid.) My kids have spent the last 2 days entering codes, having "circle" time w/them and such. The Easter bunny has one for each of them as well.

My daughter has one, she wanted a "friend" for it for Easter, but I cannot find them anywhere here in NJ! Hopefully the craziness will fade a little bit and we can find them again! Reminds me of the beanie baby fad!

 

[disneymac]

I think it must be all the people who get them to sell on ebay! You can't find the darn things in any store, but there are tons of them listed there...

DD & DS will each get a Sherbert Bunny from the Easter Bunny. I guess we're way behind - they each only have one so far. They're so cute, but I don't care for the ones that look like they've lost half their hair!

Webkinz are in very short supply in my area too. Unfortunately, our Easter Bunny has a history of giving the kids Beanie Babies in their basket and the kids had decided he would now switch over to Webkinz (gotta keep up with the latest trends Easter Bunny!). I tried to locate Sherbet Bunnies locally but was unsuccessful. Most stores were completely wiped out of all Webkinz or they had animals the kids didn't want. It wasn't looking good for the Easter Bunny this year. I started to brainwash the kids into not expecting a Webkinz in their basket. "There's a train strike...all the stores are sold out...the factory in China isn't making them fast enough...even the Easter Bunny couldn't get Webkinz...blah blah blah blah...". The kids listened. Obviously, it didn't register. They are still certain there will be Webkinz in their baskets tomorrow.

And fortunately, they are RIGHT!!! I had signed up for the mailing list on Internetpetz and was lucky to check my email right after they sent out a notice that they had 500 Sherbet Bunnies for sale. They had a limit of 2 per household and I frantically whipped out my credit card to buy them. I scored 2! They sold out incredibly fast (less than an hour). Too bad the Easter Bunny will get all the credit!

Each DD is getting one. The little store in my town can't keep them in stock. The card store by DH has lots, he buys whatever he thinks the girls will want, not the seasonal ones.

When I spoke to the clerk, he said that the larger chains like Coach house gifts order in bulk at the corporate level, so they are in a different supply chain than the little independent retailer.

When we were in the Hallmark store in the mall today, an employee was unpacking a huge box of them & loading them onto the Webkinz display.
Must have been at least 30 of them.

My DD12 asked what they were & I explained that they are some popular type of thing that I've read about here on the Dis. I asked her if she wanted to one to join in on the fun, but she said "no". When we got home, she went on the Webkinz site & said, "Mom, you need one of those stuffed animals to even get on the site". Oh well, we can always go back.

My sons have one each. One has the Tree Frog and the other has a Black Bear. We just sarted wtih Webkinz at the end of March. They both wated a "friend" for Easter and it quickly became obvious that was going to be a challenge! I did manage to find 2 but that took me at home calling the list of stores on the web site and my mother out driving around to find them. We got the Bulldog and the Bullfrog coming from the Easter Bunny. The store that had the Bullfrog also had a bunch of LilKinz gorillas so I had my Mom pick up 2 of those tp put away. Friday I got a call from one store I was on a call list from that they had 2 "Googles" (like a platypus) so we got those to save as well. My Mom found a LilKinz panda today too so that is socked away. I figure my oldest has a birthday in June; they each got their Webkinz for my middle son's b-day in March (thanks to an indulgent Grammy who must get some sort of gift for the sibling of the birthday kid) so they can get one for the oldest's b-day. Then I can always produce one as a surprise on a day when they are stir crazy at home over the summer and I would like to buy some peace and quite for half an hour!

The hallmark store(downstairs) in Oxford Valley mall had a bunch of them on Wednesday. I asked my girls if they were interested, but their not. Wow, I really didn't know they were that hard to find.

The Easter Bunny is bringing the Tiger for ds and the Sherbert Bunny for dd. I bought those Webkinz quite a while ago and saved them for Easter.

I have a feeling that a lot of Sherbert Bunnies will be registered today!

Oh..........and the Easter bunny is also bringing the Rescue Rangers CD set and Cinderella III! I can't wait to watch those movies!

 

[Mermaid02]

There haven't been any around here in weeks!

 

[Savsmommy]

The Easter bunny brought DD7 the Monkey and the Chihauha. Those are the only two I could find.

 

[pirateofthecarolinas]

I was told that all Webkinz ship from China to Canada. They were having difficulty getting them to the US because of a railroad worker strike in Canada.

 

[PixiePop]

The Easter Bunny brought DS a frog and tiger for Easter.

Happy Easter everyone! For those of you that found the sherbert bunny, all I can say is you are lucky ducks! That's the one my DD really wanted, but we can't find it anywhere around here. At this point, it's a matter of being at the right place at the right time. When our local Hallmark store gets a shipment of Webkinz they sell out within 5 minutes!
Other companies are going to make their own version of Webkinz. There is a new stuffed animal called Little Stars that are similar. Our Hallmark sold out of them too!
