Pets Retired in Logged in Catalog, Not Retired Anywhere Else

2010-07-08T09:46:00.000-04:00

Starting with the new updates yesterday, several Webkinz pets have appeared to be retired only in the Webkinz Pets List inside Webkinz World. On the homepage catalog, the pets are not retired. No announcement has been made on any Ganz website about retirement, and Webkinz retailers have heard nothing. Perhaps this is just a bug in the programming, because many of these pets were released quite recently. Hopefully we will hear from Ganz regarding this issue soon.

Webkinz Stadium Update!

2010-07-07T10:41:00.000-04:00

The Webkinz Stadium has undergone a serious change. Scrolling marquees now tell us when the next event is scheduled, the Pet Entry Button is under Fred Rover, and there is now an option for Deluxe members in the Stadium Events.

There is also a new event on board called the Quick Event where you compete against 20 other participants. You still have to have training in the Kinzville academy to enter, but these new events are no trophy winners. Instead they have quick results and the top three winners split the entry fees.

Webkinz Tour Team Update!

2010-07-07T10:37:00.000-04:00

Thank you to a WebkinzInsider.Com member for calling our attention to a number of pictures of the Webkinz Road Trip 2010 that she found posted on the internet. It appears that these pictures were taken by In-Depth Vehicle Wraps, the company who put the cool artwork on the Webkinz vans.
