Breaking News: Unusual Tag found on some Webkinz

Submitted by FIA on Fri, 05/16/2008 - 12:56am.

Ms.Webkinz, a member in our forum, has shared a very interesting discovery with us. This week she purchased a Lil Kinz Cocker Spaniel that had two tags. In addition to the regular tag that comes with all Webkinz, there was also a red "Webkinz Cares" tag attached to the plushie.

According to the tag, which comes with a feature code, some of the money made on the sale of the Webkinz goes toward the "Webkinz Foundation" which in turn donates money to the welfare, health, and safety of children. The tag also says that the enclosed feature code is for a "Special Online Gift" in appreciation for the support. It appears that the codes for these tags have not yet been programmed into the Webkinz system because Ms.Webkinz has been getting an error message that says the "Feature Code does not exist".

We don't yet know exactly what the "Webkinz Foundation" is, or what the "Special Online Gifts" are. As soon as we are able to learn more of the details about this exciting promotion, we will report them to you. read more »

BREAKING NEWS: New Competitions Coming to the Stadium

Submitted by FIA on Tue, 05/13/2008 - 11:49pm.

According to the Webkinz Guide's chapter on the Webkinz Stadium, we should be expecting some new competitions to arrive in Webkinz World. In addition to the Beauty contest that has already been in the Stadium, it appears that there are going to be five other events: cooking, inventing, running races, high jumps, and swim meets.

We don't yet know when these new competitions are expected to debut in Webkinz World. If you wish to have your Webkinz compete, start catching up in your Kinzville Academy classes now. Remember, it's the skills your Webkinz learns in the Academy that affects how they will perform in the Competition. Good luck everyone!
