Webkinz Insider

For the first time ever, Ganz is selling online-only versions of select Webkinz at the Webkinz eStore. The sale of these animals is limited to people living outside of the United States and Canada. Customers purchasing these Webkinz will receive a code to enter into the adoption center, but will NOT receive a plushie pet.

The animals currently available are the White Poodle, Tree Frog, Bulldog, and Black & White Cat, all of which are available for sale at retailers both in the United States and Canada as a plushie with a code tag.

If you live outside of the United States and Canada and are interested in purchasing one of these animals, you can find them at the Webkinz eStore here: http://www.webkinzestore.com/category/5

Since the debut of Alyssa's Star Challenge last week, several Webkinz Insider members have been hard at work collecting data to "map the sky".  Their goal is to come up with a system of predicting which constellations might contain certain stars.  You may remember that it was WI members BERT_X and dogsdigholes who discovered the virtual charm pattern in the Charm Forest last year. 

 

While we are not yet able to report on a location pattern, thanks to BERT_X, we can now tell you what the "base price" for each star is.  This data will help you to know if Alyssa is offering you a good deal on your star or not:  

 

** Each star group has one #1, one #2, one #3 and four #4 stars. **

Astro stars: 450 Lunamite, 200 Blushing Bulb, 250 Marrowmile,

then 75 for Chlorocosmo, Nightnote, Skyprint, and Twilight Twinkle.

Glow Flake stars: 400 Frost Flake, 200 Magmamite, 150 Deelight,

then 60 for Divinadime, Flouraflite, Moon Bloom, and Nocturnite.

Sun Sparks stars: 350 Webwonder, 150 Illustrolite, 100 Lightening Lantern,

then 50 for Enchantrite, Pyro Pearl, Spectaculight, and Zinglow.

From a star's base price Alyssa might offer these percentages:

 

 

A huge thank you to BERT_X for putting this together, and to EXOTERIC for managing the data collection thread.

A new "game" called Alyssa's Star Challenge has arrived in Webkinz World.  You can access this game by selecting the "Charm Forest" option on the "Things to Do" menu.  Unlike the Charm Forest, you do not have to purchase any special items in to play the game.  It is available on all active Webkinz accounts.


The Star Challenge is very similar to both the Gem Hunt and the Charm Forest features.  You are able to "play" the game once per day.  Using the tip of your Star Catcher Net, you click on colored stars, or shooting stars, in the sky.  Each star will reveal a constellation which will either be empty, contain a Star, or contain a special Prize.  The obejctive is to collect all 21 Stars to win the Star Challenge Grand Prize.  The W-shop is also now featuring a Star Carousel to hold your star collection.

Here are some of the items that have been awarded to Webkinz Insider members:


Several of our members have also reported receiving a Fairy High Council Throne in their dock. The throne bears a striking resemblance to the shape of the special prize you unlock by collecting the stars. We're not sure why some members have already received this prize.

For a complete list of the Stars and the Prizes, please follow this link to our Star Challenge Guide:

Special thanks to sabrina10, dusangpyong, jhae, Littles813, chapman12, mistles, and chaotic for the pictures and congratulations to all of our members for their wins so far.
