Submitted by FIA on Wed, 07/02/2008 - 1:20pm.

You may remember our announcement last week that more KinzStyle clothing for your plushies would be arriving in stores soon. Now we can report that several new virtual clothing items have appeared for sale in the KinzStyle shop: Baseball Uniform Helmet, Baseball Uniform Jersey, Baseball Uniform Pants, Kilt Skirt, Ruffle Skirt, Ruffle Tee, and Webkinz Sparkle Tee.

These items are all exclusive to the KinzStyle shop with one exception. Over the weekend, the Kilt Skirt was available for sale in the wShop briefly, and was for sale in the Curio Shop as recently as Tuesday afternoon. Also, it is worth noting that although the name and the sale price of the new Ruffle Skirt and the old Fun Fiesta Skirt are different, the graphic is exactly the same. read more »

Ganz Retires Webkinz German Shepherd!

Submitted by Justin on Tue, 07/01/2008 - 2:03pm.

This news is brought to you by our friends at: http://www.ameriwade.com

To go along with the many retirements over the past month, Ganz has decided to retire the Webkinz German Shepherd (HM146)!

It can still be ordered by retailers at this point, so you should be able to pick them up in stores for some time, but once they are gone, that'll be it.

In addition, the Webkinz Toco Toucan, which was announced to be retired last week on the Webkinz Retailer site is now listed as "Sold Out" from Ganz. What this means is that many of your retailers will get an additional shipment of Toco Toucans in August if they decided to order extras, but there won't be any more after that!

Ganz Retires 5 More Webkinz, Some Not Even Released!

Submitted by Justin on Wed, 06/25/2008 - 11:38pm.

We thought that it was really strange that the Black & White Cheeky Dog and Webkinz Rhino were retired a few weeks back. "Such new Webkinz, I'm surprised!" is what most of us thought or said.

Well, here's an even bigger surprise.... Ganz has retired 5 more Webkinz this month, all are new Webkinz and two haven't even been released yet! Yep, you read that right, two unreleased Webkinz are already on Ganz's retired list sent to retailers!

The retirements are the Webkinz Striped Snake, Webkinz American Cocker Spaniel, Webkinz Toco Toucan, Webkinz Crocodile, and the Webkinz Leopard Lizard.

This information has been confirmed and, while it will likely not be reflected in Webkinz World now (especially with the unreleased pets), we assure you that it will be!

We don't have any details on what the Series 3 Trading Cards will be like just yet, but we have confirmation that they can be ordered by retailers and are due to be shipped to retailers in August!

The Series 2 Webkinz Figurine set is also due to hit shelves in August, with a new set of 24 Figurines for all of us to collect. As with the Series 3 Trading Cards, we don't have any details or pictures of the virtual items just yet.
