Wow…I was just adding the new webkinz from the beginning of the summer to my Ganz Webkinz store and realized that some of them are retired already! I have been busy keeping my Webkinz loving child busy all summer and so had not had much time to update my site. I keep up with webkinz news with the Google blog email system, so I knew a lot was going on, but having the snake retired already??? I guess Ganz Webkinz finally figured out that a small supply creates demand.
My daughter and I went to look at Webkinz in person today and they really have a nice selection. She was eager to get the Webkinz bat, which I guess is the Halloween offering, but they did not have them in stock yet. She settled for 2 horses and a webkinz toucan. She is a horse nut so she has 4 webkinz horses in all now.
I originally limited her to 5 webkinz, telling her that she could not care for more. She has become very adept at caring for virtual animals now that she is 10, even enlisting help from her friends (not always a good idea since one of them changed the password when she was in a fight with her….luckily she could use the Webkinz secret code to get back in and change the password again), so I told her she could buy as many as she could afford. I told her the virtual animal cops would come and get her if she did not care for them. She is old enough to get my jokes now, fortunately.
