Last month we brought you news that a Silversoft Cat would be coming to Webkinz World in August.  Today we can bring you pictures of the Silversoft Cat's Pet Specific Item, Culinary Cat Counter, and Pet Special Food, Nifty Noodle Yarn Ball.

 

If you are interested in purchasing a Silversoft Cat for your Webkinz family, check out Ameriwade, WI's Partner Store.  Ameriwade has all of the August Webkinz available for pre-order.  Ameriwade features $5 flat rate shipping and has some of the lowest prices on the internet.  A portion of every purchase made at Ameriwade.com goes toward supporting WebkinzInsider.com.

Lately in our Webkinz Insider forum, we've seen scattered reports of members receiving Caring Valley tags with unusable sample codes on them.  As these reports have increased and we now have images of the faulty codes, we solicited Ganz for information on what these users should do to get new, working codes.

 

 

If you receive one of the faulty Caring Valley tags, which will contain the word "SAMPLE" plus a number after it, you should mail the tag directly to Ganz at the following address:

 

 

According to Ganz, these tags are part of the quality assurance program and appropriate parties have been notified of the issue.

As many of you Webkinz Insider fans and members know, from time to time our users stumble upon unannounced Webkinz at their local retail stores. Usually, these were mistakenly shipped early by Ganz, and our members know all of the new Webkinz coming out so they know a new one when they see it! In the past, our members have found the unannounced Webkinz Spotted Turtle, unannounced Webkinz Schnauzer, unannounced Webkinz Grey Arabian, and a number of unannounced Lil' Kinz.

 

 

Today, we bring you news and pictures of the unannounced Webkinz Rooster from EllaBellaBoo99! Here are photos that she took of the Webkinz Rooster plush and the Webkinz tag -- clear proof that the Webkinz Rooster is coming to Webkinz World in the near future! How soon?  We're not sure, but we're going to make the assumption that the Webkinz Rooster is for September.

It's Webkinz Wednesday at the Ganz eStore and the pet of the day is the Woolly Mammoth.  In addition to the Mammoth, this is the first day the Ruby Retriever, July's Birtstone Pet, has been listed for sale.  The Ruby Retriever will be for sale at the Ganz eStore every day of July.

 

In addition to being Webkinz Wednesday, today is also the first day of the Ganz eStore 5 Day Spectacular. You may remember that we brought you pictures of this event on the eStore menu last week, but at that time we didn't know what it was for.  Today, all has been revealed. 

 

The 5 Day Spectacular is a celebration of both Canada Day on July 1st and Independence Day on July 4th.  From July 1st through July 5th, different items will be on sale at the Ganz eStore.  Some deals will be available to all members, and others will only be available to Deluxe members.  For complete details, please visit the 5 Day Spectacular page on the Ganz eStore site, HERE.

 

It's worth noting that the Kinz Tunes downloads are now available to all players, not just those with Deluxe Memberships.  Also, a brand new pet will be available for sale to Deluxe members on July 4th.  Could this be the Rainforest Boa that was originally scheduled for release in June?  Or maybe the Cotton Candy Sheep?  We'll have to wait and see.

 

UPDATE:  Congratulations to Webkinz Insider member Lotamoxie on her adoption of a Ruby Retriever. Here you can see "Devil Dog" posing next to his Pet Specific Item, the Ruby Window.  The Pet Special Food for the Ruby Retriever is the Ruby Red Sundae.
