Who doesn't love a good sale? Everyday at the Ganz eStore from December 1st through December 24th, there will be a special item for 5000 eStore points.  We will keep this article updated with the deal of the day special.
 

 

 

 

As many of you know, the holiday of Hanukkah is going to begin at sundown on Friday night (December 11th).  Families of Jewish faith all over the world will be lighting Menorahs each night this week in celebration of the eight night long holiday.  In Webkinz World, many of our furry friends will be celebrating too.  

 

If you have purchased a Menorah from the wShop and placed it in your room, on Friday night you should notice two of the candles lit with a flickering flame (as shown in the picture above from last year).  Each night, another candle will be lit, until the Menorah is full.  This is the one and only time of the year these virtual items will be animated.  And, for those of you who are wondering why two candles are lit on the first night, the center candle is used to light the other candles and does not represent one of the eight nights.

Thanks to our Robert at our partner store, Ameriwade.Com, we have confirmed the expected releases into Webkinz World for February, 2010. As most of you already know, we expect the Webkinz Beaver and Webkinz Tree Kangaroo to be released in February.

 

We now have confirmation that the other Webkinz will be a Webkinz Old English Sheepdog. In addition, the Webkinz Signature pet will be a Signature Dutch Bunny. Finally, Zumbuddies Series 2 will also be released in February. As far as we know, Series 1 will never be released for re-order again! The Series 2 Zumbuddies will be of similar supply constraints as Series 1.

 

In addition, we also received information that Ganz will be introducing both an "Endangered" Signature Webkinz line and a "Small" Signature Webkinz line, most likely in March, 2010. The Small Signatures, as we understand, were created by Ganz as a response to customers who thought that the Webkinz Signature Pet line was too expensive.

 

 

 

As most of you know by now, Ganz added a new feature to Webkinz World specially for the Christmas 2009 season.  For this event, players finding Ms. Birdy in the Clubhouse can click on her to receive a holiday gift.  Each player will be able to collect a total of 12 gifts, one gift per day, between now and Christmas.

 

Unfortunately, it looks like the programming for this feature has not yet been completed.  So far, everyone is reporting getting an error message that says "Sorry, this event is out of date" when they click on Ms. Birdy.  This glitch has been added to WI's Webkinz Glitch Report.  Hopefully the programmers at Ganz will have everything sorted out soon.
