Webkinz World

Over the past few days we have been getting reports here at Webkinz Insider from players who have purchased "Spooky" the Mazin' Hamster but who are unable to activate him in Webkinz World.  The reason for this is that "Spooky" isn't scheduled for official release until September 7th, and the feature codes for these pets have not yet been programmed into the system.

 

According to their agreements with Ganz, retailers are not supposed to sell Webkinz products before their official release dates.  If you shop at a retailer that puts Webkinz out early, be prepared to have the feature codes not work in Webkinz World right away.  Generally, the programming for new items is added just a few days before their official release dates.

 

 

Over the past week we have had a number of Webkinz Insider members post pictures of their Tie Dyed Puppy adoptions.  Each one of them received a Tie Dyed Tux Package Box containing a Tie Dyed Tux Top, Pants, and Shoes.  Now, based on the current advertisements running in Webkinz World, it looks like there may have been a glitch with those adoptions.

 

According to the current advertisements, the PSI for the Tie Dyed Puppy is a Tie Dye Tux consisting of a Top, Pants, Shoes, and a Hat.  At this point, we haven't had any reports of members receiving a Tie Dyed Tux Hat.  Many members have plans to contact Ganz in the morning to see about getting their missing items.

Thank you to Webkinz Insider member SnowCrystal for sharing this picture with us of the "READ Poster" she just won during Recess at the Kinzville Academy.  This poster is a new prize on the Merry Go Round wheel.  

 

Remember, to go to Recess, you must have one pet take 15 full days of classes at the Academy.  For more information on Recess and on the Kinzville Academy, please visit the Webkinz Insider WIki.

 

 

Back in April we learned that the Zodiac Pet for Libra would be the Webkinz Libra Eagle.  Now we can bring you pictures of this super cool pet and its items.  The Pet Specific Item for the Libra Eagle is the Balance Perch, and the Pet Special Food is the Well-Balanced Breakfast.  The Libra Eagle should show up in the Ganz eStore for sale around the middle of September.

This morning we learned about one more virtual-only pet that should be coming to the Ganz eStore soon, the Jackalope.  The Pet Specific Item for the Jackalope is the Tall Tails Forest, and the Pet Special Food is Folklore Smores.  No word yet on when this pet is going to be available for sale, but as soon as that information is made available, we will bring it to you here.
